Opportunity Summary:
The Act Against AIDS Leadership Initiative (AAALI) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) grant program created to widen the reach of HIV prevention by partnering with influential national organizations that already have deep credibility in African American, Hispanic/Latino, and men who have sex with men (MSM) communities, but that have not historically operated with HIV/AIDS as their primary focus. The central idea is to take trusted institutions that people already listen to and interact with, and weave HIV education, awareness, and prevention messaging into their everyday operations, communications, and community-facing activities. Rather than building new HIV-only organizations, AAALI is designed to harness the existing platforms, relationships, and reputations of longstanding institutions to normalize HIV prevention conversations and drive practical action.
AAALI has three connected goals. First, it aims to incorporate HIV/AIDS education, awareness, prevention, and communication strategies directly into the routine, day-to-day activities of participating organizations, so HIV prevention becomes part of their ongoing mission delivery instead of a one-time campaign. Second, it seeks to integrate HIV prevention content into the organizations existing communication, mobilization, and outreach systems, especially those that already reach large audiences through channels like websites, newsletters, magazines, radio, events, conferences, and chapter networks. This focus on communication infrastructure is important because it allows prevention messages to be repeated consistently and delivered by voices that audiences already trust. Third, AAALI is meant to create a network of participating organizations so they can coordinate, share approaches, and support each other in implementing innovative, culturally credible strategies that respond to the specific barriers and challenges affecting HIV prevention in African American, Hispanic/Latino, and MSM communities. In practice, this means the program is not only funding individual projects, but also trying to build a connected leadership ecosystem that can amplify impact beyond what any single organization could do alone.
The opportunity was offered as a discretionary grant under CDC funding opportunity number CDC RFA PS10-1057, with activity categorized under health and tied to CFDA 93.118 (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) Activity). CDC anticipated making 22 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $15,000,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $100,000 (floor) and $120,000 (ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically lowers the barrier to participation for organizations that may have strong reach and influence but limited unrestricted funds to contribute as match.
A wide range of applicant types were eligible. Eligible applicants included nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), small/minority/women-owned businesses, universities and colleges (both private and public/state-controlled), research institutions, hospitals, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, and various government entities (state, local, county, city or township). Eligibility also extended to federally or state recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments and tribally designated organizations, Alaska Native health corporations, urban Indian health organizations, tribal epidemiology centers, and U.S. territories and affiliated jurisdictions listed in the announcement (including Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and others). The notice also referenced the possibility of non-U.S. entities, subject to confirming whether authorizing legislation allows foreign eligibility. For applicants seeking to apply as a bona fide agent on behalf of a state or local government, the announcement required a letter from the relevant government documenting that status, submitted with the application materials through Grants.gov.
Even though many organization types were technically eligible, CDC spelled out the kind of applicants it was really trying to fund. The desired applicants were national organizations with local chapters or affiliates, recognized as credible and influential within African American, Hispanic/Latino, or MSM communities, and capable of shaping a national dialogue. CDC also emphasized applicants with multiple communication platforms (such as print, web, broadcast, and member communications), the ability to leverage additional resources beyond the grant, and the capacity to convene meetings at a national level. These characteristics align with AAALI s strategy: the program is fundamentally about scale, trust, and amplification through established networks, not just delivering services in one location.
Timing details reflect that this was a time-limited, archived opportunity from 2010. The announcement was posted and created on May 13, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 14, 2010, and an archive date of July 14, 2010. The administering agency was the CDC. For technical assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), reachable by phone at 770-488-2700.
Overall, AAALI is best understood as a leadership-and-influence model for HIV prevention. It funds organizations that may not be traditional HIV service providers but are positioned to shift awareness, reduce stigma, encourage testing and prevention behaviors, and mobilize communities by integrating HIV prevention into the trusted routines and communications of major national institutions. The expected outcome is increased HIV-related awareness, knowledge, and action specifically within African American, Hispanic/Latino, and MSM communities by using messengers and platforms that already carry weight and credibility.
