Opportunity Summary:
The 2009 Request for Applications for the In Community Spirit program (Funding Opportunity Number WH-HPP-09-001) was a discretionary federal grant opportunity released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health. It focused on HIV prevention for Native/American Indian and Alaska Native women living in rural and frontier areas of Indian Country. The central goal was to increase HIV prevention knowledge and lower the risk of HIV transmission by supporting practical, culturally grounded, multi-level prevention strategies that could be carried out within local communities.
The program was designed around the idea that reducing HIV risk requires more than a single educational session or a one-size-fits-all message. Applicants were expected to implement one intervention approach or combine multiple approaches, using both community-level and group-level strategies. At the community level, the opportunity emphasized two main types of work: first, community awareness activities aimed at the local Native community, and second, capacity building and technical assistance for providers who serve Native women. In plain terms, this meant funding could support efforts that raise visibility and understanding of HIV prevention across the broader community while also strengthening the skills, readiness, and coordination of local service systems that interact with Native women (for example, clinics, community programs, or other support providers). At the group level, the opportunity supported direct demonstration of an HIV/STD prevention education intervention specifically for women and girls, indicating an expectation of structured prevention education delivered to participants in a more focused setting than broad public awareness efforts.
Financially, the total estimated funding available for the program was $400,000, with an expectation of about four awards. Individual awards were projected to range from $25,000 (award floor) up to $100,000 (award ceiling). The funding instrument was a grant, and the activity category was health. The CFDA number associated with the program was 93.015, titled HIV Prevention Programs for Women. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which meant applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted on June 13, 2009, with a closing date of July 17, 2009 (the same date shown as the original and current closing date). The archive date was August 16, 2009. The listing indicated that eligibility was categorized broadly as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," though the summary data provided does not include additional eligibility details beyond noting "EligibilityInformation: none." As with many federal opportunities, applicants would have needed to rely on the full announcement for the definitive eligibility rules, required application components, and submission procedures.
For access and submission support, the contact information routed applicants to the Grants.gov Contact Center, including a phone line (1-800-518-4726), standard weekday hours of operation, and the email support@grants.gov. This suggests the application process was expected to go through Grants.gov and that technical help for accessing or submitting the application was available through that service channel. Overall, the grant opportunity targeted locally relevant, multi-level HIV/STD prevention work for Native women and girls in rural and frontier Indian Country settings, balancing community-wide awareness and system capacity building with direct prevention education activities.
