Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part D Coordinated HIV Services and Access to Research for Women, Infants, Children, and Youth (WICY) Existing Geographic Service Areas

The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part D Coordinated HIV Services and Access to Research for Women, Infants, Children, and Youth Existing Geographic Service Areas is administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through its HIV/AIDS Bureau. This federal funding opportunity is part of a longstanding national initiative to provide comprehensive HIV care and support services, particularly for low-income and medically underserved populations. The Part D program specifically targets women, infants, children, and youth with HIV, aiming to improve health outcomes, increase access to care, and reduce HIV transmission through coordinated, family-centered services. The purpose of this funding opportunity is to support the delivery of outpatient and ambulatory HIV care alongside essential support services that address the broader needs of affected families. Funded activities include medical services such as HIV specialty care, obstetrics and gynecology, behavioral health, nutrition, and oral health, as well as support services like case management, housing assistance, childcare, and referrals to additional care systems. The program emphasizes coordination across providers and requires recipients to establish comprehensive systems of care that improve linkage to treatment, retention in care, and viral suppression. Funding is distributed through competitive grants with an expected total program allocation of approximately 69000000 dollars for fiscal year 2026. Individual awards range from 115000 to 2000000 dollars and are structured across four 12 month budget periods, resulting in a total performance period from August 1 2026 through July 31 2030. Funds must be used strictly for allowable activities, and there are clear prohibitions including use for research, construction, inpatient care, or services covered by other payers. The program operates under a payor of last resort requirement, ensuring that federal funds supplement rather than duplicate other funding sources. Eligibility is broad and includes domestic public and nonprofit private entities, as well as tribal governments, faith based organizations, institutions of higher education, and for profit organizations. Applicants must demonstrate the ability to provide or coordinate family centered HIV care for the target populations within a defined geographic service area. Applications must cover the entire designated service area and may not combine multiple areas into a single submission. Individuals are not eligible to apply. The application process requires submission through Grants.gov and includes a detailed project narrative, budget and budget narrative, and multiple required attachments such as staffing plans, organizational charts, service area maps, and agreements with partners. Applicants must also maintain active registrations in SAM.gov and Grants.gov prior to submission. Applications are evaluated through a merit review process based on criteria including need, response, performance evaluation, impact, organizational capacity, and budget justification. The application deadline is July 13 2026 at 1159 pm Eastern Time, with awards expected to begin August 1 2026. The program is expected to operate on a recurring cycle, with funding subject to federal appropriations and recipient performance. Selected applicants will receive Notices of Award and must comply with federal regulations, reporting requirements, and programmatic expectations throughout the project period. Overall, this funding opportunity plays a critical role in advancing national HIV care strategies, including the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative, by expanding access to integrated care systems and addressing disparities among vulnerable populations. It prioritizes evidence based interventions, coordinated service delivery, and measurable outcomes to ensure long term improvements in public health and patient well being.
