Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part D - Women, Infants, Children and Youth Grant Supplemental Funding

The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part D - Women, Infants, Children and Youth Grant Supplemental Funding, administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), provides targeted support for improving access to comprehensive HIV primary care and support services. This grant is part of a broader federal initiative to enhance health equity and outcomes for populations disproportionately impacted by HIV. Part D of the RWHAP uniquely centers on delivering family-centered HIV care in outpatient or ambulatory care settings, focusing on underserved demographics including low-income women, infants, children, and youth (WICY). This supplemental funding opportunity is aimed at current RWHAP Part D grantees as well as new eligible entities that propose to serve the entire identified service area with comprehensive HIV care for WICY. Eligible applicants must be public or nonprofit private entities capable of providing family-centered HIV care, including facilities operated by or under contract with the Indian Health Service. The objective of the supplemental funds is to enhance organizational capacity in two key areas: HIV Care Innovation and Infrastructure Development. These efforts support organizations in adapting to the evolving healthcare environment while ensuring high-quality, coordinated HIV care services are delivered to vulnerable populations. Key program services supported through this grant typically include HIV medical care, behavioral health services, case management, nutritional support, and referrals to specialty services. Importantly, RWHAP Part D is the only component of the larger Ryan White Program that allows the provision of certain services to individuals affected by, but not living with, HIV. These services are allowable when their primary aim is to remove barriers to care or to support family stability, ensuring that the core client receives uninterrupted and effective HIV treatment and support.

The supplemental nature of the funding and focus on innovation suggests a competitive process geared toward enhancing service quality and system resilience in the care of women, infants, children, and youth with HIV.
