Opportunity Summary:

This funding opportunity, titled "A National Coalition to Enhance STD/HIV Prevention through Promotion of a Holistic Approach to Health and Wellness," is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement continuation announcement. It is identified by Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS11 111205CONT15 and sits in the health activity category under CFDA 93.941, which covers HIV demonstration, research, and public and professional education projects. In practical terms, it is not a new open competition. Instead, it is designed to continue supporting an existing national coalition effort focused on strengthening STD and HIV prevention by tying prevention work to a broader, more holistic view of health and wellness.

The core purpose of the program is to enhance STD/HIV prevention through a coalition-based approach that promotes health and wellness in a comprehensive way rather than treating STD/HIV prevention as a narrow, standalone set of activities. A "holistic approach" in this context generally signals work that integrates prevention messaging and services with broader determinants of health and overall well-being, such as access to care, community engagement, supportive environments, stigma reduction, and health education that resonates with the day-to-day realities of the populations being served. The emphasis on a "national coalition" also implies coordination across partners, networks, and stakeholders to amplify reach, align strategies, share best practices, and strengthen the consistency and quality of prevention efforts.

From an administrative and funding structure standpoint, the award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the work beyond what would occur in a standard grant. Cooperative agreements commonly include collaboration with CDC project officers, joint planning, technical assistance, performance monitoring, and alignment with federal public health priorities. The announcement lists an expected 50 awards, but it also shows an estimated total funding amount of 0 and award ceiling/floor values of 0, which is a common artifact in continuation or administrative postings where specific dollar amounts may be handled through continuation actions tied to existing awards rather than newly competed budgets.

Eligibility is restricted. The eligibility information states that the award will be a continuation of funds intended only for a grantee previously awarded under PS11 1112, which is the original program announcement with the same title. This means that organizations that did not already hold the underlying PS11 1112 award would not be eligible to apply under this continuation notice. The general eligible applicants field is marked as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the clarifying text makes it clear that the only intended recipient is the existing grantee(s) from the original award.

The timeline details show the opportunity was posted and created on August 10, 2015, with an original and current closing date of September 10, 2015, and an archive date of October 10, 2015. That window reflects the administrative cycle for continuation documentation rather than an open solicitation for new applicants. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so the recipient is not expected to provide matching funds as a condition of the award.

For questions or problems accessing the full announcement, the contact listed is the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), with a phone number (770-488-2700) and email (pgotim@cdc.gov). Overall, the key takeaway is that this is a CDC continuation cooperative agreement supporting an already-funded national coalition effort aimed at advancing STD/HIV prevention through integrated, wellness-oriented strategies and coordinated national partnership work, rather than a new competitive funding opportunity open to the broader public.
