About this opportunity
The Health Resources and Services Administration is soliciting applications under the Native Hawaiian Health Care Improvement Act (NHHCIA) program to fund administrative and service delivery activities for fiscal years 2027 through 2031, with this a limited-competition opportunity restricted to Papa Ola Lokahi and five certified Native Hawaiian Health Care Systems.
Eligible applicants are Papa Ola Lokahi (POL) for administrative purposes under sections 6(a)(2) and 7 of the NHHCIA, and five qualified Native Hawaiian Health Care Systems (NHHCS) recognized and certified by POL to provide comprehensive health promotion, disease prevention, and primary health services tailored to specific island communities within Hawaii under sections 6(a)(1), 6(b)–(g), and 8(a)–(g). A qualified entity must be an NHHCS certified by POL as competent to serve defined regional communities.
The NOFO will fund one award to POL for administrative purposes and five separate awards to qualified entities for service delivery. No cost share or matching requirement is stated. Award values are not specified in this forecast; historical individual awards have ranged from $2.5 million to $85.7 million over their performance periods. Place of performance encompasses the Hawaiian Islands.
The program objective is to raise the health status of Native Hawaiians to the highest possible level through support for infrastructure, clinical services, and workforce development. Awards beyond the first budget period are contingent on congressional appropriations, statutory and regulatory compliance, satisfactory progress toward project objectives, and the government's determination that continued funding is in the federal interest.
Recipients must maintain accounting records for three years after submitting the Federal Financial Report, or longer if litigation, claims, or audits are pending. Entities expending $1 million or more in federal awards annually are subject to single or program-specific audits under 2 CFR Part 200, Subpart F.
Assistance Listing: 93.932.
