Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Advancing Alcohol Screening and Brief Intervention and CHOICES in AI/AN Populations through Training and Technical Assistance" is a CDC-led continuation funding opportunity under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal interaction. The activity area is public health, with a focus on advancing evidence-based alcohol-related prevention strategies in American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations by providing training and technical assistance that supports implementation and improvement in real-world settings.

The program’s central emphasis is on expanding and strengthening two specific approaches: Alcohol Screening and Brief Intervention (often referred to as SBI) and CHOICES. SBI is a commonly used clinical and community health strategy that involves screening individuals for risky alcohol use and delivering brief counseling or intervention to reduce harm. CHOICES is a prevention approach aimed at reducing the risk of alcohol-exposed pregnancies by helping women of childbearing age make informed decisions about alcohol use and contraception through counseling and related support. In this funding notice, both approaches are framed in terms of increasing their uptake, consistency, and effectiveness in AI/AN communities through structured training, hands-on technical assistance, and ongoing support for programs and providers.

Administratively, this opportunity is identified as CDC RFA DD13 130104CONT16 and is categorized as a continuation, indicating it is intended to continue or extend previously supported work rather than launch an entirely new initiative. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 93.073, which corresponds to a CDC public health assistance listing. The posting date and creation date are both January 29, 2016, and the closing date for applications is April 1, 2016, with no extension reflected in the listing.

In terms of who may apply, the eligibility field is listed broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced as being available in a separate section of the full announcement. While the summarized record does not include the full eligibility language, this type of phrasing typically signals that eligibility may include a specific set of organizations or entities defined by the program, potentially including tribal entities, tribal organizations, tribal epidemiology centers, inter-tribal consortia, or other partners involved in AI/AN health services, training, or technical assistance. Because this is a cooperative agreement focused on training and technical assistance, applicants are likely expected to have demonstrated capacity to deliver training, provide implementation support, and coordinate with multiple sites or partners.

The opportunity listing shows an expected number of awards of 50. The award ceiling is shown as 0 in the provided data, which usually indicates that the maximum award amount was not specified in this summary record or is defined elsewhere in the full funding announcement rather than in the top-line grants.gov style fields. In practice, that means the funding level per award cannot be determined from the excerpt alone, but the planned volume of awards suggests a broad distribution of support across multiple recipients or sites.

Overall, the grant is best understood as a CDC-supported effort to improve the reach and quality of alcohol risk reduction and alcohol-exposed pregnancy prevention work in AI/AN settings by building workforce and program capacity. The core deliverables implied by the title and structure are training systems, technical assistance operations, and implementation support focused on integrating SBI and CHOICES effectively and sustainably within the health services and community contexts serving American Indian and Alaska Native populations.
