Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 26 067

The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part D Coordinated HIV Services and Access to Research for Women, Infants, Children, and Youth (WICY) opportunity is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) discretionary grant (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-26-067; CFDA 93.153) focused on expanding and strengthening family-centered HIV care in outpatient or ambulatory settings. The central aim is to improve access to coordinated, comprehensive HIV medical care and the supportive services that help people stay engaged in treatment, particularly for low-income women and young people affected by HIV across designated existing geographic service areas identified in the FY 2026 Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). The program is built around the idea that HIV care works best when clinical services and practical supports are organized around the needs of the whole family, not just a single patient.

This funding targets specific populations: low-income women age 25 and older living with HIV; infants up to age 2 who are exposed to HIV or living with HIV; children ages 2 to 12 living with HIV; and youth ages 13 to 24 living with HIV. Within these groups, the program emphasizes coordinated care models that connect routine HIV medical care with wraparound supports that make it easier for clients to access and continue care. While the opportunity description highlights common service categories such as case management, behavioral health services, nutrition services, and referrals to specialty care, the broader intent is to support integrated systems where clinical care and support services are aligned to reduce gaps, improve health outcomes, and maintain consistent engagement in care over time.

A defining feature of RWHAP Part D is that it is the only Ryan White component that can support certain services for people who are not themselves living with HIV, as long as the funded service clearly supports the care of someone with HIV. In practice, this means Part D can fund services for affected family members when the primary purpose is to enable that person to participate in the care of a client with HIV, remove barriers that keep the client from receiving care (for example, issues that destabilize the household or prevent clinic attendance), or promote overall family stability. This family-centered approach recognizes that stable caregiving, supportive home environments, and reduced stressors can directly affect whether women, infants, children, and youth can attend appointments, adhere to treatment, and remain connected to ongoing care.

The competition is open both to current RWHAP Part D recipients and to new eligible organizations proposing to deliver Part D services throughout the entire service area defined in the FY 2026 NOFO. Eligibility is broad and includes many types of public and private entities, such as state, county, city, township, and special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status; for-profit organizations (including small businesses); and other eligible applicants. Statutorily, section 2671 of the Public Health Service Act also underscores that eligible applicants include public and nonprofit private entities, including health facilities operated by or under contract with the Indian Health Service, as long as they provide family-centered outpatient or ambulatory care for women, infants, children, and youth with HIV.

From a funding and timing standpoint, HRSA lists an award ceiling of $2,000,000 per award, with an expected 111 awards under this announcement. The opportunity was created on 2026-06-11, and the original application closing date is 2026-07-13. Overall, this grant opportunity is designed to sustain and enhance outpatient and ambulatory HIV care systems that are coordinated, family-centered, and tailored to the unique medical and support needs of low-income women and young people, while also acknowledging that assisting affected family members can be a practical and necessary part of keeping clients with HIV healthy and consistently in care.
