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 opportunity is administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This federal program builds upon the broader Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, which is designed to improve the availability and quality of care for underserved populations living with HIV. Part D specifically targets women, infants, children, and youth, emphasizing family centered care models that address both medical and supportive service needs. This supplemental funding opportunity is intended to strengthen existing programs and expand service delivery capacity within eligible organizations. The primary purpose of this supplemental funding is to enhance organizational infrastructure and increase the ability of grantees to deliver high quality HIV care services. The funding supports two main activity categories: HIV Care Innovation and Infrastructure Development. These activities are intended to help organizations improve service delivery systems, adopt innovative approaches to care, and expand access to comprehensive, family centered outpatient or ambulatory HIV care services. The program prioritizes improvements that directly impact low income populations affected by HIV, ensuring that vulnerable groups receive coordinated and effective care. Funding is provided as discretionary federal grants, with an estimated total program funding of three million dollars and approximately twenty awards expected. Individual awards may be up to two hundred thousand dollars. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement associated with this opportunity, allowing applicants to fully utilize awarded funds toward programmatic improvements. Funds are intended to support capacity building, infrastructure upgrades, and enhancements to service delivery systems rather than replacing existing funding streams. Eligibility for this opportunity is broad but targeted. Applicants may include state and local governments, tribal governments and organizations, nonprofit organizations with or without 501c3 status, institutions of higher education, and for profit entities. However, eligibility is limited to organizations that either currently receive Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part D funding or are proposing to provide family centered HIV care services in outpatient or ambulatory care settings. Eligible applicants must demonstrate the ability to serve low income women, infants, children, and youth living with HIV across their defined service areas, consistent with statutory requirements outlined in the Public Health Service Act. The application process is expected to follow standard federal grant submission procedures through electronic systems. Applications must be submitted by the specified deadline, and late submissions are not accepted. While specific application components are not detailed in the forecast, applicants can expect to provide program narratives, organizational capacity information, and detailed plans for implementing proposed activities. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on the applicant’s ability to enhance service capacity, implement innovative care strategies, and demonstrate measurable improvements in access and quality of care. The timeline for this opportunity indicates that it is currently in a forecast stage, with an estimated posting date in early December and an application deadline in early February. Awards are expected to be issued by August, with project start dates aligned to the award date. The program does not explicitly indicate recurrence, but as part of an established federal program, similar funding opportunities may be issued periodically. For additional information, applicants may contact the program representative via the provided email or phone number for guidance and clarification during the application process.
