Opportunity Summary:
The 2009 Request for Applications for the HIV/AIDS Prevention and Support Services for Women Partners of Incarcerated/Recently Released Men (Funding Opportunity Number WH HPP 09 003) is a discretionary grant program from the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health that focuses on HIV prevention and related support services for a very specific group: women who are intimate partners of incarcerated men or men who have been recently released. The central aim is to create gender-specific, peer-led HIV prevention education, built around the idea that women in these circumstances often face a distinct set of risks and barriers shaped by relationships, family responsibilities, stigma, and limited access to consistent health and social services.
A key expectation of the program is that funded projects will not operate in isolation. Instead, applicants are expected to build or strengthen a coordinated local coalition that connects women and their families to practical support and transition services. The opportunity emphasizes active coordination among public health agencies (local and state departments of health), healthcare providers, AIDS service organizations, social service agencies, community-based organizations, and partners within corrections and the criminal justice system. The intent is to create a more seamless network so women can access prevention education along with the supportive resources that help reduce vulnerability to HIV, especially during the destabilizing periods tied to incarceration and reentry.
Although the opening description highlights women partners of incarcerated or recently released men, the program also reflects a broader Office on Womens Health framing. Womens health is described in a life-course, whole-person way that goes beyond a narrow medical definition. It explicitly includes mental, dental, and physical health, and it recognizes the reality that many womens health outcomes are shaped by social roles, caregiving demands, economic pressures, and the quality and safety of intimate relationships. In practice, this framing supports proposals that connect HIV prevention with wraparound supports that address the surrounding conditions that often drive risk, such as unstable housing, trauma, lack of healthcare access, or limited social support.
Funding for the opportunity was estimated at $1,000,000 total, with an expected 8 awards. Each award was set at a fixed amount: an award ceiling of $125,000 and an award floor of $125,000, meaning awards were intended to be $125,000 per recipient. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically lowers barriers for smaller community-based organizations that may not have additional funds to contribute. The CFDA number associated with the program is 93.015 (HIV Prevention Programs for Women), and the activity category is listed as Health.
The timeline listed in the announcement shows it was posted on June 13, 2009, with an original and current closing date of July 17, 2009, and an archive date of August 16, 2009. Interested applicants at the time would have needed to follow the specific submission instructions in the full grant announcement, including the exact deadlines and required forms. Eligibility is broadly indicated as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the provided summary does not include the detailed eligibility rules, which likely would have clarified what types of community-based organizations or partnerships could apply and whether any geographic or population targeting requirements applied.
For applicants or researchers who need more detail beyond the summary, the announcement directs people who had trouble accessing the full posting electronically to contact the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726, support@grants.gov) during weekday operating hours.
