Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Accelerating the Prevention and Control of HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STDs and TB in the U.S. Affiliated Pacific Islands" is a CDC discretionary funding program offered as a cooperative agreement. Its central goal is to strengthen and modernize core public health prevention and treatment work across four major disease areas HIV, viral hepatitis, sexually transmitted diseases, and tuberculosis in the U.S. affiliated Pacific Islands (USAPIs). Rather than funding these areas through separate, siloed grants, the CDC designed this opportunity to integrate activities and expectations into a single announcement, with the idea that jurisdictions can deliver services more efficiently while also reducing duplicated effort, reporting, and administrative workload.

A major emphasis of the program is service integration. The announcement highlights optimizing public health service delivery by expanding opportunities to screen, test, treat, and where appropriate vaccinate people who need these services. The logic is practical: many populations and clinical settings overlap across HIV, hepatitis, STDs, and TB, so a more coordinated approach can increase the number of people reached and improve continuity of care. The FOA also explicitly encourages collaboration across program areas and improvements in operations through shared data systems, which signals a focus on building stronger public health infrastructure rather than only supporting individual disease programs in isolation.

Another core theme is support for cross-cutting activities that benefit multiple disease areas at once. The FOA calls out surveillance, screening, evaluation, and data systems as examples of these shared functions. In practice, this means strengthening how jurisdictions track cases and trends, manage and analyze public health data, evaluate program performance, and use information to guide decision-making across HIV, viral hepatitis, STDs, and TB. By emphasizing common systems and integrated workflows, the CDC is aiming to improve public health responsiveness and reduce inefficiencies that can happen when each disease program maintains separate processes.

This opportunity is specifically targeted to the six U.S. affiliated Pacific Islands jurisdictions that have the authority and mandate to carry out these public health services. Eligibility is limited to the health departments or their bona fide agents in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau. The eligibility language is narrow by design, reflecting that these entities are the recognized jurisdictions responsible for implementing population-level prevention, surveillance, and treatment support across these islands and territories.

From an administrative standpoint, the funding announcement is positioned as a consolidation of requirements from four earlier CDC funding opportunities: PS10-1002 (HIV Prevention Projects for the Pacific Islands), PS08-802 (HIV/AIDS Surveillance), PS09-902 (Comprehensive STD Prevention Services), and PS10-1005 (TB Elimination and Laboratory Cooperative Agreements). By combining these into a single integrated FOA, the CDC intended to streamline applications, minimize administrative burden, and reduce duplication across multiple grants that may have previously required separate applications, reports, and parallel program structures. The cooperative agreement mechanism also indicates that CDC program staff are expected to have substantial involvement in the work, which typically includes technical assistance, collaboration on planning and evaluation, and alignment with federal program expectations.

Financially, the opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS13-1301) anticipated six awards, aligning with the six eligible jurisdictions. The estimated total funding listed is $19,705,785. The award ceiling is $1,017,670, and the award floor is listed as $0, which usually means awards may vary significantly based on jurisdictional plans, needs, and final CDC funding decisions rather than guaranteeing a minimum amount. The CFDA number referenced is 93.116, associated with tuberculosis control program grants and cooperative agreements. The opportunity also indicates a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients are expected to contribute some level of non-federal support (the specific amount and rules would normally be detailed in the full announcement).

Key dates in the listing show the FOA was posted June 21, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 31, 2012, and an archive date of September 30, 2012. For applicants at the time, the timeline implied a relatively short window to develop an integrated proposal that covered multiple disease areas and the supporting infrastructure needed to manage them together.

For help accessing the full announcement, the listing provides a CDC Procurement and Grants Office contact point, including phone and email. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a coordinated public health capacity and service-delivery investment for the USAPIs, designed to strengthen prevention and treatment for four interconnected disease areas while making programs more integrated, data-driven, and administratively manageable.
