Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part D - Women, Infants, Children and Youth Grant Supplemental Funding

The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part D Women, Infants, Children and Youth Grant Supplemental Funding is administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This federal program is part of the broader Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, which is designed to improve access to HIV care and treatment for underserved populations. Part D specifically focuses on family-centered care for women, infants, children, and youth affected by HIV, emphasizing coordinated and comprehensive service delivery in outpatient or ambulatory care settings. The purpose of this supplemental funding opportunity is to strengthen the capacity of existing and new service providers to respond to evolving healthcare needs and expand access to high-quality HIV care. The program targets low-income women aged 25 and older living with HIV, infants up to two years old who are exposed to or living with HIV, children aged two to twelve with HIV, and youth aged thirteen to twenty-four with HIV. In addition to direct care for individuals living with HIV, the program allows support for affected individuals when such services improve care access, reduce barriers, or enhance family stability. Funding under this opportunity supports two primary categories of activities: HIV Care Innovation and Infrastructure Development. Allowable uses include expanding service delivery models, enhancing care coordination, and strengthening organizational systems to improve outcomes. Services commonly funded include medical care, case management, behavioral health services, nutrition support, and referrals to specialty care. The program does not require cost sharing or matching funds, allowing applicants to fully utilize awarded funds toward programmatic goals. Eligibility is broad but structured around organizations capable of delivering family-centered HIV care. Eligible applicants include public and nonprofit entities, such as state and local governments, institutions of higher education, tribal governments and organizations, and nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status. For-profit entities, including small businesses, may also apply if they meet program requirements. However, the opportunity is specifically open to current Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part D recipients as well as new organizations proposing to deliver qualifying services in designated service areas. The application process is expected to open following the estimated posting date and requires submission through the designated federal grants platform by the specified deadline. Applications must be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. While specific application components are not detailed in the forecast notice, applicants should anticipate standard federal grant requirements such as project narratives, budget justifications, and documentation of organizational capacity. Applications are evaluated based on their ability to expand access to care, demonstrate organizational readiness, and address the needs of the target population. The funding agency aims to make approximately twenty awards, with decisions expected by early August and project start dates aligned with the award date. The performance period is expected to begin immediately upon award, supporting rapid implementation of proposed activities. The timeline for this opportunity indicates a forecasted release, with an estimated posting date in late May and a submission deadline in late June. Awards are anticipated by August, aligning with the federal fiscal year cycle. As a forecasted opportunity, applicants are encouraged to prepare in advance by reviewing eligibility requirements and gathering necessary documentation to ensure timely submission once the notice of funding opportunity is officially released.
