Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part B States/Territories Supplemental Grant Program

The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part B States/Territories Supplemental Grant Program is administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This federal initiative operates as a supplemental funding mechanism to the broader Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part B, which provides formula-based funding to states and territories. The overarching mission of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program is to improve access to high-quality HIV care, treatment, and support services for low-income individuals living with HIV. This supplemental program is designed to enhance and expand the impact of existing formula and AIDS Drug Assistance Program funding streams by addressing emerging needs and service gaps. The purpose of this supplemental grant program is to provide additional financial resources to states and territories already participating in the Part B program. These funds are intended to strengthen healthcare infrastructure, expand access to medications and treatment services, and improve health outcomes for individuals living with HIV. The funding scope typically supports services such as outpatient medical care, pharmaceutical assistance through ADAP, and supportive services that enable individuals to remain engaged in care. While the program builds upon formula funding, the supplemental nature allows jurisdictions to respond more flexibly to unmet needs, including addressing disparities in care and improving service delivery systems. Funding under this opportunity is awarded as discretionary grants, with an estimated total program funding of 48000000 dollars and approximately 30 awards expected. Individual awards may reach up to 9000000 dollars, though no minimum award floor is specified. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement associated with this opportunity, allowing eligible applicants to fully utilize federal funds without the need to secure additional financial contributions. The project period is expected to begin on September 30, 2027, aligning with the federal fiscal year cycle. Eligibility for this program is limited to state governments and U.S. territories that are already recipients or eligible participants under the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part B structure. These entities are responsible for administering HIV care programs at the jurisdictional level and coordinating service delivery networks. Because the program is tied to existing federal funding frameworks, eligibility does not extend to nonprofits, local governments, or other entities as direct applicants, although such organizations may participate as subrecipients within state-administered programs. The application process is expected to follow standard federal grant submission procedures through Grants.gov. Applicants will be required to submit a complete application package electronically by the estimated deadline of March 15, 2027, no later than 1159 pm Eastern Time. While specific application components are not detailed in the forecast notice, typical federal submissions include program narratives, budget justifications, and supporting documentation demonstrating capacity to administer funds effectively. There is no indication of a pre-application requirement such as a letter of intent. The evaluation process will likely consider factors such as demonstrated need, effectiveness of proposed interventions, alignment with program goals, and the applicant’s ability to manage federal funds and deliver services. Awards are anticipated to be announced by September 30, 2027, with funding decisions aligning with the start of the project period. As this is a forecasted opportunity, additional details including final eligibility requirements, evaluation criteria, and application instructions will be provided upon official release of the full funding opportunity announcement. The program is part of an ongoing federal initiative and may recur annually, though recurrence is not explicitly confirmed in the forecast notice.
