Required next actionRecheck the Florida Department of Health TOPWA posting and all current RFA26-003 materials before submission. Confirm the applicant's physical office and service presence in an eligible county, required experience and partnerships, MyFloridaMarketPlace and Florida DFS W-9 readiness, mandatory match capacity, complete the required budget and work-plan forms, retain upload confirmation, and submit the application by September 30, 2026 at 5:00 PM EST.
Broad Eligibility
Organizations located in Broward, Duval, Hillsborough, Miami-Dade, Orange, Palm Beach or Pinellas counties that provide services and maintain a physical office in the proposed service area, demonstrate a proven track record serving racial and ethnic populations, and can perform targeted outreach/linkage for pregnant people living with or at risk for HIV and related prenatal-care barriers. Local health departments may be unfunded partners but may not apply.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score 97/100. Current Florida TOPWA funding supports targeted outreach and linkage services for pregnant women living with HIV, at heightened risk of HIV acquisition, or facing barriers to adequate prenatal care. Florida DOH states that $1,000,000 is available and that award count and size will depend on available funding and application quality. Applicants should build a compliant outreach-and-linkage model around the RFA requirements, measurable outcomes, permitted costs, required partnerships and service-area qualifications rather than assuming any unsupported clinical-service or procurement use.
Current status: Active. Florida Department of Health released FY2027 Targeted Outreach for Pregnant Women Act (TOPWA) RFA26-003 on September 3, 2026. A total of $1 million is available for perinatal HIV prevention programs.
Deadline: The controlling Florida DOH RFA states applications must be received by September 30, 2026 at 5:00:00 PM EST through the Department’s Automated Upload System. Atlas uses this official RFA deadline rather than conflicting third-party procurement dates.
Eligible applicants: Applicants must be located in Broward, Duval, Hillsborough, Miami-Dade, Orange, Palm Beach or Pinellas counties, provide services and maintain a physical office in the proposed service area, demonstrate a proven track record serving racial and ethnic populations, register in MyFloridaMarketPlace and maintain a Florida DFS W-9. Local health departments may participate only as unfunded partners.
Matching contribution: A match is mandatory. The RFA permits cash and in-kind contributions and states that, in counties with populations above 50,000, up to 50 percent of the required match may be satisfied in kind. The RFA does not state a numeric total match percentage or dollar ratio, so applicants should not assume one. The official question period has closed, and Florida DOH schedules answers to applicant questions for September 18, 2026.
Program purpose: TOPWA supports outreach, education, linkage to care and ongoing support for pregnant people living with HIV, at increased risk of acquiring HIV, experiencing substance-use disorder, mental-health needs and/or inadequate prenatal care. Programs must coordinate with healthcare and community partners, track measurable outcomes and support continuous quality improvement.
Technology and implementation pathway: The RFA expressly allows computer hardware and software, including electronic-health-record and billing-system enhancements, and allows consultants or subcontractors with prior written approval. Clinical services themselves are not allowable. Any N9+ and/or QC role must therefore be applicant-led, tied to the applicant’s actual TOPWA workplan, material to outreach/linkage/quality objectives, allowable under the approved budget and structured with required Department approval. Dr. Miltie is not established as a direct applicant under this capture.
Atlas fit: Strong Path B/C opportunity because the controlling RFA explicitly permits health-information technology, hardware/software and approved consultant/subcontract support while requiring measurable care-linkage and quality outcomes. Do not invent a technology need or treat generic equipment purchasing as sufficient; applicant-specific program design and allowability control.
From Funding to Implementation · Integrated Care Solution
Build the physical-care layer around a broader virtual-health program.
Behavioral-health programs may not require a physical exam for every encounter. When integrated care, triage or physical assessment is part of the funded model, Dr. Miltie N9+ can add clinician-directed examination capability alongside virtual services.
