Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Integrated HIV/AIDS Planning Resource Allocation Cooperative Agreement

The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Integrated HIV/AIDS Planning Resource Allocation Cooperative Agreement is offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Health Resources and Services Administration. This federal funding opportunity is designed to strengthen the national response to HIV by supporting coordinated planning efforts across prevention and care systems. HRSA administers the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program as a key federal initiative focused on improving access to care and treatment for individuals living with HIV, particularly those who are underserved or disproportionately affected. This cooperative agreement reflects HRSA’s continued emphasis on aligning prevention and care strategies to maximize the effectiveness of federal investments. The primary purpose of this cooperative agreement is to provide tools, training, and technical assistance to recipients of Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Parts A and B, as well as their associated planning bodies. The program aims to support integrated HIV prevention and care planning processes that ensure resources are allocated efficiently and equitably. By enhancing coordination across systems, the initiative seeks to strengthen the overall infrastructure of HIV care and treatment in the United States, improving health outcomes and reducing disparities. Funding under this opportunity is intended to support activities such as the development and dissemination of planning tools, delivery of technical assistance, and training programs that enhance the capacity of recipients and planning bodies. These activities are expected to promote data-driven decision-making, improve resource allocation strategies, and support alignment with national HIV/AIDS goals. As a cooperative agreement, the program may involve substantial federal involvement in guiding program activities, ensuring alignment with federal priorities and standards. Eligibility for this opportunity includes a broad range of public and nonprofit entities, such as state and local governments, tribal governments and organizations, public and private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status. This inclusive eligibility framework reflects the collaborative nature of HIV planning and the need for diverse institutional participation to effectively address complex public health challenges. The application process is expected to be conducted electronically through federal submission systems, with applications due by January 18, 2027, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. The opportunity is currently forecasted, with an estimated posting date of October 19, 2026.
