Opportunity Summary:
This CDC funding opportunity (CDC RFA PS11-1112) is a discretionary cooperative agreement designed to support the creation of a single national coalition focused on strengthening STD and HIV prevention by promoting a broader, more holistic public health approach to sexual health and wellness. The central idea is to convene and organize a cross-sector group of partners that can provide national, multisector leadership, align strategies, and push coordinated actions that improve sexual health outcomes. Rather than treating STD/HIV prevention as a standalone issue, the program emphasizes integrating prevention into larger health and wellness efforts, with attention to systems, social norms, education, policy, communications, and healthcare delivery.
The project’s expected work centers on building an actionable framework and practical strategies that help different sectors work together effectively. The coalition is intended to influence and support multiple areas at once. This includes engaging health care providers and encouraging collaboration with healthcare and delivery systems so prevention practices are more consistently embedded in routine care. It also includes working with communication, health education, and marketing professionals to promote changes in attitudes, knowledge, behaviors, and social norms that can reduce risk and support healthier sexual decision-making. Another focus is policy professionals, with the goal of encouraging effective policy actions that advance sexual health and strengthen STD/HIV prevention. A further emphasis is on educational professionals, promoting medically accurate, evidence-based instruction and school policies that support sexual health and prevention goals.
From a funding and award structure standpoint, CDC anticipated making one award under this announcement. The estimated total funding listed is $5,625,000, and the award amount shown is $135,000 (with both the ceiling and floor at $135,000). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The assistance listing is tied to CFDA 93.978, Preventive Health Services: Sexually Transmitted Diseases Research, Demonstrations, and Public Information and Education. Because this is a cooperative agreement, the recipient should expect substantial involvement from CDC compared with a standard grant, typically meaning CDC may collaborate on planning, coordination, and implementation approaches while the funded organization carries out the day-to-day work.
Eligibility is broad and intentionally inclusive to reflect the multisector coalition concept. Eligible applicants include nonprofits (with or without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (including small, minority-, and women-owned businesses), colleges and universities, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, tribal governments and tribally designated organizations (including Alaska Native entities and tribal epidemiology centers), and state, local, and territorial governments and their bona fide agents. The announcement also notes eligibility for non-U.S. entities and other applicants as specified, and it clarifies that bona fide agents applying on behalf of a state or local government must provide a formal legal agreement documenting that status.
Key dates and process details reflect a time-limited 2011 competition cycle. The opportunity was posted March 28, 2011, with a letter of intent deadline of April 28, 2011 at 5:00 pm Eastern and an application deadline of May 31, 2011 at 5:00 pm Eastern. CDC also scheduled a pre-registered applicant conference call for April 28, 2011 at 2:00 pm Eastern, with registration closing 24 hours in advance. The archived date is June 30, 2011, indicating the opportunity is no longer active, though the summary still captures what the program aimed to fund and how CDC structured the award.
For applicants needing the full announcement, CDC directed people to the “Full Announcement” area of the listing rather than a direct external link, and provided contact support through the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) at 770-488-2700 for access issues.
