Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part B AIDS Drug Assistance Program Training and Technical Assistance

The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part B AIDS Drug Assistance Program Training and Technical Assistance opportunity is administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This federal agency is responsible for improving access to healthcare services for vulnerable populations, including individuals living with HIV. Through its Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, HRSA provides critical funding and support to states and territories to enhance HIV care systems. This specific opportunity is designed as a cooperative agreement, indicating substantial involvement between the agency and the selected awardee in implementing program objectives. The primary purpose of this funding opportunity is to strengthen the capacity of AIDS Drug Assistance Programs (ADAPs) nationwide. ADAPs play a vital role in ensuring access to life-saving medications for people with HIV, particularly those who are uninsured or underinsured. This grant focuses on providing training and technical assistance to help ADAPs adapt to a changing healthcare environment, improve service delivery, and maximize health outcomes for individuals living with HIV. The initiative emphasizes the development of tools, resources, and support systems that enhance program effectiveness and sustainability. Funding under this opportunity is expected to support activities such as developing training curricula, offering technical assistance to ADAP administrators, and creating tools that improve program management and patient outcomes. As a cooperative agreement, the awarded entity will work closely with HRSA to ensure alignment with federal priorities and program goals. The funding is intended to enhance the operational capacity of ADAPs rather than directly fund medication purchases or clinical services. Eligibility for this opportunity is broad and inclusive of a wide range of public and nonprofit entities. Eligible applicants include state governments, local governments such as city, county, and special district governments, federally recognized tribal governments, tribal organizations, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, and both private and public institutions of higher education. This wide eligibility scope reflects the program’s emphasis on leveraging diverse organizational expertise to support national HIV care infrastructure. The application process is expected to follow standard federal grant submission procedures through electronic systems, with applications required to be submitted by the stated deadline. While specific application components are not detailed in the forecast, applicants should anticipate requirements such as project narratives, budgets, and supporting documentation demonstrating organizational capacity and experience in training and technical assistance. The estimated application due date is January 20, 2027, with submissions required by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. The timeline for this opportunity indicates that it is currently in a forecast stage, with an estimated posting date of November 21, 2026. Awards are expected to be issued by July 1, 2027, which also marks the anticipated project start date. Only one award is expected to be made, with total program funding of 750000 dollars. The cooperative nature of the agreement suggests ongoing collaboration between the recipient and HRSA throughout the project period.

As a forecasted opportunity, applicants are encouraged to monitor updates and prepare in advance for the formal release. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement associated with this funding, which may lower barriers to participation for eligible organizations.
