Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number AH MAI 15 001) is a discretionary federal grant offered by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, through the HHS Office of Adolescent Health (OAH), using the Secretary's Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI) Fund. The goal is to maintain, enhance, and re-launch a National Resource Center focused specifically on HIV/AIDS prevention among adolescents. The centerpiece of the work is a comprehensive National Resource Center website that will distribute medically accurate, practical, and implementation-focused resources to professionals who serve youth, with an emphasis on supporting interventions for adolescents who are in greatest need.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a traditional grant, meaning the federal agency expects to be actively involved in the project throughout the period of performance. OAH's anticipated involvement includes helping set program priorities for what materials and tools are developed and shared through the website, providing programmatic approvals before major strategies are developed or implemented, and reviewing and approving the awardee's process for ensuring that all content distributed through the website is medically accurate. OAH will also work with the recipient to identify challenges and gaps in the Resource Center and use those findings for continuous quality improvement, and it will help coordinate with other agency-funded entities that may want to submit materials for distribution through the website.
The project is intended to build on an existing foundation of professional training and capacity-building assistance in HIV/AIDS for youth-serving professionals. The Resource Center website is expected to go beyond static documents by promoting practical strategies for community-based service providers and incorporating interactive multimedia and other resources that help move practitioners from awareness to actual implementation of adolescent-focused HIV prevention interventions.
Funding is anticipated as a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an annual award amount set at 350,000 dollars per year, for a three-year project period, with a total potential level of support consistent with that structure. The posted award ceiling and award floor are both 350,000 dollars, indicating a fixed annual award amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The activity category is Health and the CFDA number listed is 93.057 (National Resource Center for HIV Prevention Among Adolescents).
Eligible applicants include any public entity or private nonprofit entity located in a U.S. state or territory as broadly defined in the announcement (including the District of Columbia and multiple U.S. territories and freely associated states). The notice explicitly states that faith-based organizations and American Indian/Alaska Native/Native American organizations are eligible to apply. Applications were originally posted in January 2015, with an application closing date of April 10, 2015, and an archive date of May 10, 2015.
For applicant support or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed program contact is Maria Thelma Pena at the Office of Adolescent Health (phone 240-453-2817, email maria.pena@hhs.gov).
