Opportunity Summary:
The Native Hawaiian Health Care Improvement Act (NHHCIA) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HRSA-14-096) is a discretionary federal grant program administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is grounded in the Native Hawaiian Health Care Improvement Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 11701 and 11714), which states a clear federal policy objective: in recognition of the United States' special responsibilities and legal obligations to the indigenous people of Hawaii, the program is intended to raise the health status of Native Hawaiians to the highest possible level and to ensure that Native Hawaiian health care programs have the resources needed to achieve that goal (see 42 U.S.C. 11702(a)). In practical terms, the opportunity is designed to fund and strengthen an established Native Hawaiian health care infrastructure rather than create a broad open competition for new entities.
The grant supports two main streams of activity authorized by the NHHCIA. First, it provides a service grant to Papa Ola Lokahi (POL) to carry out the Act's specified functions, especially the coordination of health care programs and services provided to Native Hawaiians. This coordinating role is central to how the legislation envisions statewide coherence across multiple islands and providers, including aligning efforts, facilitating collaboration, and helping ensure that services are organized in a way that meets the Act's intent. Second, the opportunity provides service grants to the five recognized community-based Native Hawaiian Health Care Systems (NHHCS). These systems are expected to deliver a full range of services identified by the legislation, with programs tailored to the needs, geography, and priorities of their respective island communities. The emphasis on tailoring recognizes that health access challenges, cultural approaches to care, and service gaps can vary significantly across Hawaii's islands.
Eligibility is limited by statute and program design to six specific organizations, meaning applicants must be one of the following entities to be considered: Hoola Lahui Hawaii, Hui Malama Ola Na Oiwi, Hui No Ke Ola Pono, Ke Ola Mamo, Na Puuwai, and Papa Ola Lokahi. This restricted eligibility reflects the program's purpose of resourcing the established Native Hawaiian health care systems recognized under the NHHCIA framework, rather than opening funding to the general public, universities, or other nonprofit providers not designated in the Act's implementation.
From a funding and administrative perspective, HRSA projected six awards under this opportunity, consistent with the six eligible organizations. The estimated total funding amount listed for the competition was $12,339,016. The assistance listing (CFDA) associated with this program is 93.932, titled Native Hawaiian Health Care Systems. The notice indicates a cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so recipients are expected to contribute non-federal resources in accordance with the terms set out in the full funding announcement. The posted date was April 23, 2014, with an application closing date of June 11, 2014, and the opportunity was later archived on August 10, 2014. Although the award floor and ceiling were listed as $0 in the summary fields, that typically signals that award amounts vary by formula or program decision and are specified in the full announcement rather than in the brief synopsis.
For applicants or stakeholders needing help accessing the announcement or navigating the application process, HRSA routed support through the HRSA Grants Application Center and the HRSA Call Center (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV; 877-464-4772), indicating that technical assistance for submission and access issues was available through standard HRSA support channels. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted federal investment in a legally established network of Native Hawaiian health organizations, aimed at improving health outcomes for Native Hawaiians through coordinated statewide leadership (POL) and island-specific service delivery systems (the five NHHCS).
