Opportunity Summary:
The Native Hawaiian Health Care Improvement Act grant opportunity (HRSA-15-017) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). It is rooted in the Native Hawaiian Health Care Improvement Act (NHHCIA), as amended in federal law (42 U.S.C. 11701-11714). The statute frames the program as part of the United States' special responsibilities and legal obligations to the indigenous people of Hawaii, with two central goals: raising the health status of Native Hawaiians to the highest possible level and ensuring Native Hawaiian health care programs have the resources needed to carry out that mission (referenced in 42 U.S.C. 11702(a)).
In practical terms, this funding supports a coordinated network of Native Hawaiian health organizations. The law authorizes two main streams of activity. First, it funds a service grant to Papa Ola Lokahi (POL), which serves a coordinating role across Native Hawaiian health care programs and services. Second, it funds service grants to the five recognized, community-based Native Hawaiian Health Care Systems (NHHCS). These systems are expected to provide a full range of services identified in the legislation and to tailor those services to the distinct needs of their island communities. The emphasis is not just on delivering health services, but on delivering them in ways that fit local context, culture, and community priorities.
This particular announcement is described as a Congressional Special Initiative and uses a limited competition structure, meaning it is not open to the general public or to new entrants. Instead, it provides application instructions specifically for existing recipients under the NHHCIA, covering funding for fiscal years 2015 through 2017. The eligible applicants are restricted to six named organizations: Hoola Lahui Hawaii, Hui Malama Ola Na Oiwi, Hui No Ke Ola Pono, Ke Ola Mamo, Na Puuwai, and Papa Ola Lokahi. The expected number of awards is six, aligning with those six entities, and the applicable CFDA number is 93.932 (Native Hawaiian Health Care Systems). The listing indicates a cost sharing or matching requirement.
Key administrative details include an estimated total funding amount of $12,339,016 across the competition, with no specific award floor or ceiling stated in the summary fields. The opportunity was posted on April 1, 2015, with a closing date of June 1, 2015, and it was later archived on July 31, 2015. For assistance accessing the full announcement or for program questions, HRSA provided a contact point via BPHCNH@hrsa.gov and a phone contact, Amy Harbaugh, at (301) 594-4300.
