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 is a federal grant initiative managed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through its Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) is a longstanding federal initiative that aims to provide comprehensive HIV care and treatment services to underserved populations throughout the United States. Part D of the RWHAP specifically targets women, infants, children, and youth (WICY) living with HIV, addressing their unique health care needs through family-centered models of care. This supplemental funding opportunity aims to enhance the existing Part D programs or allow eligible new applicants to establish and expand services in outpatient or ambulatory care settings. The overarching goal is to increase access to high-quality, coordinated HIV primary health care and support services for low-income WICY with HIV. Eligible services supported through this funding include HIV medical care, case management, behavioral health care, nutritional support, and specialty care referrals. These services are structured to address the broader health and psychosocial needs of individuals in the target demographic, improving outcomes through a comprehensive and integrative approach. A distinctive feature of RWHAP Part D is its allowance for support of affected individuals who may not themselves be HIV-positive, provided that the services contribute directly to the care or support of someone with HIV or promote overall family stability. This makes the Part D program unique among federal HIV care programs. The supplemental funding focuses on two strategic areas: HIV Care Innovation and Infrastructure Development. These may include efforts to strengthen systems, build organizational capacity, or implement novel service delivery models that improve care outcomes and service accessibility. Eligibility for this funding includes both current Part D grant recipients and new applicants that are public or nonprofit private entities, such as health facilities affiliated with or contracted by the Indian Health Service. Applicants must demonstrate the ability to deliver family-centered HIV care to the full service area defined in the forthcoming FY 2026 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). Applications must be submitted electronically via Grants.gov no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date. The estimated application due date is May 19, 2026, with funding expected to be awarded and projects beginning by August 1, 2026. The program does not require cost-sharing or matching funds. While there are no pre-application deadlines such as letters of intent or concept papers mentioned, applicants are advised to monitor the official NOFO once posted for further guidance. The funding opportunity is forecasted and has not yet opened for application. An estimated 20 awards will be issued, with a total funding pool of approximately $3,000,000 and a maximum award amount of $200,000 per applicant.
