Opportunity Information: Apply for HRSA 21 059
The Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part D Women, Infants, Children, and Youth (WICY) Grants Supplemental Funding opportunity (HRSA 21 059, CFDA 93.153) is a discretionary grant program run by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It was announced on November 6, 2020, with an application deadline of January 12, 2021, and HRSA anticipated making about 25 awards. The overall intent is to provide targeted, one-year supplemental support to strengthen the capacity of existing RWHAP Part D WICY-funded organizations and to expand access to high-quality, family-centered HIV primary health care for low-income, uninsured, and underserved women, infants, children, and youth with HIV.
The central purpose of the supplemental funding is to help programs adapt to a changing health care landscape while improving service access and quality for WICY populations. HRSA framed this as short-term, focused funding: applicants are expected to propose one discrete activity that can be fully completed within a one-year period of performance. Rather than supporting broad, multi-component expansions, the notice pushes applicants to select a single, well-defined improvement that strengthens how the organization delivers HIV care and supportive services. The work is expected to align with broader HHS and HRSA priorities, including stronger collaboration across systems of care and attention to overlapping crises that affect HIV outcomes, such as opioid use and mental health needs.
Applicants are permitted to build on prior HRSA investments, but with an important restriction. A project may be an expansion of an activity that was previously supported through FY2019 or FY2020 RWHAP Part D supplemental awards (HRSA-19-026 and HRSA-20-068) or Part C Capacity Development funding (HRSA-19-031 and HRSA-20-067). However, HRSA makes clear it will not fund the same activity again in FY2021 if that identical activity was already funded in FY2019 or FY2020. If an applicant is expanding a prior initiative, the application must explain, in a specific and convincing way, how the new work builds on the earlier project and advances its objectives further, rather than simply continuing it unchanged.
Programmatically, applicants must choose between two main categories, and they can propose only one activity total under their chosen category. The first category, HIV Care Innovation, is aimed at improving progress along the HIV care continuum, extending and improving quality of life for people with HIV, and supporting prevention of new infections through better care engagement and viral suppression. Under HIV Care Innovation, the applicant must pick one of five options: Community Health Workers, Intimate Partner Violence Screening and Counseling, Rapid Antiretroviral Therapy (ART), Transitioning Youth into Adult HIV Care, or Youth Stable Housing Collaboration. Each option reflects a different barrier to successful HIV outcomes, such as navigation and retention support (community health workers), safety and trauma-informed intervention (intimate partner violence screening and counseling), speeding time to treatment initiation (rapid ART), addressing the high-risk gap when adolescents and young adults move into adult systems of care (youth transition), or stabilizing housing as a foundational factor in adherence and retention (youth stable housing collaboration).
The second category, Infrastructure Development, focuses on organizational development to help programs respond to changes in the health care environment and improve capacity in a durable way. In this funding notice, there is only one Infrastructure Development activity available: Telemedicine. This reflects the emphasis on modernizing care delivery and expanding reach, particularly for underserved clients who face transportation barriers, stigma-related avoidance of in-person services, or limited availability of specialty HIV providers. Telemedicine investments are positioned as capacity enhancements that can improve continuity of care and access to clinical and supportive services when in-person care is difficult or inconsistent.
Equity and targeted impact are explicit expectations in the opportunity. HRSA emphasizes that the selected activity should focus on populations disproportionately impacted by HIV and experiencing poorer health outcomes, which in the Part D context often includes young people, women facing structural barriers, and families with limited insurance coverage and resources. The notice also signals that competitive applications will connect their chosen activity to real, documented needs in their service area and show how the intervention is likely to improve access to HIV primary care, engagement in care, treatment adherence, and other outcomes connected to the HIV care continuum.
A major requirement running through the announcement is sustainability. HRSA expects applicants to show not only that they can implement the activity within the one-year window, but also that the improvement will last without additional federal dollars beyond that period. In practical terms, this means applicants are expected to describe how the organization will maintain the innovation or infrastructure enhancement through billing, reallocation of internal resources, partnerships, workflow redesign, staff cross-training, or other durable strategies. HRSA is looking for proposals that strengthen organizational readiness and resilience, not short-lived pilots that disappear when the supplemental funding ends.
In summary, this supplemental funding opportunity supports a single, time-limited but high-impact activity for RWHAP Part D WICY programs, aimed at improving family-centered HIV primary care access and organizational capacity for underserved women, infants, children, and youth living with HIV. Applicants must select one defined activity from either a menu of HIV Care Innovation options or a telemedicine-focused Infrastructure Development option, avoid duplicating previously funded work from FY2019-2020, and present a clear plan for both measurable improvement and sustainability after the one-year project period.Apply for HRSA 21 059
