Bronxcare Health System

Bronxcare Health System, a tax-exempt nonprofit hospital based in Bronx, New York, operates as a federal grant recipient delivering early childhood education, dental services, and HIV/AIDS-related clinical care and research support to the Department of Health and Human Services and allied agencies. The organization holds no federal contracts but receives direct federal grant funding and participates as a sub-recipient on research and public health initiatives.

Bronxcare's federal footprint centers on health and human services grants. The organization serves as prime recipient on Early Head Start programming funded by the Administration for Children and Families' Office of Head Start (CFDA 93.600), with a $1.947 million five-year award running January 2026 through December 2030 to deliver comprehensive early childhood education, health, nutrition, and family support services to infants, toddlers, and pregnant women in underserved Bronx communities. Bronxcare also holds recurring federal grants from the HIV/AIDS Bureau under the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part F Dental Reimbursement and Community Based Dental Partnership Grants (CFDA 93.924) reimbursing unreimbursed costs for oral healthcare to low-income individuals living with HIV/AIDS; recent awards include $530,814 obligated in September 2025 for the Department of Dentistry's three residency training programs (general dentistry, pediatric dentistry, and orthodontics) alongside three rotating oral and maxillofacial surgery residents through affiliation with Woodhull Medical Center. Historical awards from the same program in FY2023 and FY2024 carried $857,068 and $792,393 respectively. Bronxcare received a $430,334 grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration Bureau of Primary Health Care in September 2021 to deliver primary care HIV prevention services. A $357,591 award under the same dental reimbursement program ran September 2021 through March 2022. Additional grant support includes a multi-year Healthy Tomorrows Partnership for Children Program award from the Maternal and Child Health Bureau running March 2022 through February 2027.

Bronxcare participates as a sub-recipient on federally funded research initiatives anchored by Harvard College and other research institutions. The organization serves as a clinical research site under multiple sub-awards from Harvard College related to the Pediatric HIV/AIDS Cohort Study (PHACS), including the SMARTT protocol, AMP Up series, and HOPE study protocols, with sub-award dates spanning 2024 through early 2026. Bronxcare operates as a site under a UCLA-led sub-award (August 2024) and as a clinical site for the CDC-sponsored Global TravEpiNet project through Massachusetts General Hospital (sub-award dated December 2022). The organization received a sub-award from Public Health Solutions in January 2024 for Hospital Preparedness Program support with cumulative amendments totaling approximately $408,250. Bronxcare also participates as a sub-recipient under WIC Local Agency Contracts through the New York State Department of Health (multiple sub-awards dated October 2023 and October 2024).

Award activity has grown in recent years, with three awards in 2022 rising to twelve in 2024, though 2025 and early 2026 show lighter volume (three and one award respectively). The combined potential value across all one hundred federal awards totals $468 thousand; however, obligated dollars across these awards reach $89.6 million, reflecting that most awards in the dataset carry reimbursement-based or multi-year funding structures where potential value understates actual federal support. Only two awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. The Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration dominates the customer base with 43 total awards across its agencies; the Consumer Product Safety Commission holds thirteen awards with $178 thousand combined potential value; and the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service and the National Institutes of Health each account for six awards. Service Contract Inventory reporting captures minimal activity — three subcontractor records across fiscal years 2022 and 2024, representing fewer than 1.2 FTEs — and reflects that Bronxcare's federal work is predominantly grant-based rather than service-contract delivery.
