Opportunity Summary:
The Native Hawaiian Health Care Improvement Act (NHHCIA) grant opportunity (HRSA-12-174) is a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) discretionary grant program built on federal policy and statutory authority in the NHHCIA, as amended (42 U.S.C. 11705 and 11706). The underlying purpose is tied to the United States government s stated responsibility to the indigenous people of Hawaii: improving the health status of Native Hawaiians to the highest level possible and ensuring that Native Hawaiian health care programs have the resources needed to carry out that goal (referenced in 42 U.S.C. 11702(a)). In practical terms, the opportunity supports coordinated, community driven health services that are specifically designed for Native Hawaiian populations and adapted to the needs of different island communities.
Funding is authorized for two connected streams of work. First, a service grant supports Papa Ola Lokahi (POL), the organization identified for coordination activities under the Act. POL s role includes coordinating health care programs and services provided to Native Hawaiians, helping align efforts across the statewide network, and supporting implementation of the Act s requirements. Second, service grants support the five recognized community based Native Hawaiian Health Care Systems (NHHCS). These systems are intended to provide a broad range of services spelled out in the legislation, with each organization tailoring services to the distinct needs, geography, and community priorities of its respective island area.
This specific announcement is described as a Congressional Special Initiative and, importantly, it is non competitive. That means it is not an open competition for new applicants; instead, it functions as guidance for current, recognized grantees on how to apply for continuation funding for FY 2012. The expected number of awards is six, matching the six eligible entities named in the announcement. The total estimated funding is $13,000,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces financial barriers for the participating organizations and keeps the focus on service delivery and program impact.
Eligibility is limited by statute and program design to the following six organizations: Hoola Lahui Hawaii, Hui Malama Ola Na Oiwi, Hui No Ke Ola Pono, Ke Ola Mamo, Na Pu uwai, and Papa Ola Lokahi (POL). Other organizations, even if they serve Native Hawaiian communities, are not eligible under this particular FOA unless they are one of these specified entities.
Key administrative details include the CFDA number 93.932 (Native Hawaiian Health Care Systems), the posting date of May 16, 2012, and an application closing date of June 20, 2012 (with the same date listed as both original and current closing). The project and budget period is fixed: August 1, 2012 through July 31, 2013. HRSA provided a link to the full announcement and directed applicants needing assistance accessing materials to contact the HRSA Contact Center by phone (877-464-4772) or email (CallCenter@HRSA.GOV).
