Opportunity Summary:

The Native Hawaiian Health Care Improvement Act (NHHCIA) grant opportunity (HRSA-13-238) is a federal health grant administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) under CFDA 93.932, Native Hawaiian Health Care Systems. It is grounded in the NHHCIA as amended (42 U.S.C. 11705 and 11706) and reflects the stated U.S. policy responsibility to Native Hawaiians: first, to raise the health status of Native Hawaiians to the highest possible level, and second, to ensure that Native Hawaiian health care programs have the resources needed to carry out that goal (see 42 U.S.C. 11702(a)). In practice, the opportunity is designed to sustain and strengthen an established network of Native Hawaiian-serving health entities that deliver community-driven services aligned with the law.

This funding supports two main types of activities. One set of funds is directed to Papa Ola Lokahi (POL) as a service grant to carry out NHHCIA responsibilities, including coordinating health care programs and services provided to Native Hawaiians across the broader system. The other set of funds goes to the five recognized, community-based Native Hawaiian Health Care Systems (NHHCS). These systems are expected to provide a full range of legislatively identified services, with the important expectation that services are tailored to the needs of each island community rather than being one-size-fits-all. The emphasis is on locally responsive care and programming that reflects the cultural, geographic, and practical realities of the communities served.

Competition for this specific announcement is limited rather than open. It is described as a Congressional Special Initiative and is intended for existing NHHCIA grantees to apply for continued funding for fiscal year 2013. Eligibility is 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. Because the eligible pool is fixed, the announcement functions more like a continuation or renewal application process within an established program structure than a typical broad discretionary grant competition.

The award mechanism is a grant, and cost sharing or matching is required. The announcement lists an expected total of six awards, aligning with the six eligible organizations. The project and budget period covered August 1, 2013 through July 31, 2014, meaning funded activities were planned for a one-year cycle under that fiscal year’s appropriation and program direction. The funding opportunity was posted May 6, 2013, with an application closing date of June 7, 2013, and it was later archived on July 30, 2013. The notice lists award floor and ceiling values as 0, which typically signals that exact award amounts were not specified in the summary fields and would instead be governed by program guidance, appropriations, and HRSA’s internal award decisions for each grantee.

For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement or navigating the process, HRSA directed inquiries to its call center (877-464-4772) and email support at CallCenter@HRSA.GOV, and provided an additional information link through the HRSA grants portal.
