Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA PS09-906) focused on strengthening the ability of organizations to deliver high-quality, effective HIV prevention services. The program is framed as "Capacity Building Assistance (CBA)," meaning the emphasis is not only on providing direct services, but on improving how organizations function and perform so they can consistently plan, implement, and sustain HIV prevention work that is aligned with proven public health practice. The overall intent is to reduce the burden of HIV infection among populations at higher risk and among racial and ethnic minority communities across the United States and U.S. territories by helping organizations operate at an optimal level and apply evidence-based interventions and prevention strategies.
The CDC anticipated making about 28 awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of approximately $22.5 million. Individual award amounts were expected to range from a floor of $270,000 up to a ceiling of $1,462,500, indicating support for both mid-sized and larger capacity-building efforts. Because the award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, recipients should generally expect substantial CDC involvement compared to a standard grant. In practice, that typically means closer coordination with CDC on project direction, expectations, technical approaches, reporting, and performance monitoring, consistent with the goals of improving effectiveness and ensuring that capacity-building activities translate into measurable improvements in prevention delivery.
The funding activity category is health, and it is tied to CFDA 93.939 (HIV Prevention Activities - Non Governmental Organization Based), which signals a prevention-oriented program stream that often includes community-based and organizational partners rather than only governmental health departments. The opportunity listed no cost-sharing or matching requirement, reducing barriers for applicants that may not have access to non-federal matching funds. Eligibility was described as "unrestricted" (open to any type of entity), with the caveat that applicants should consult the full funding opportunity announcement for any additional clarifications or constraints that might apply.
The timeline provided shows the opportunity was posted on March 11, 2009, with an original and current closing date of May 11, 2009, and an archive date of June 10, 2009. The CDC estimated that funding would be awarded prior to September 30, 2009. For applicants or stakeholders who had trouble accessing the complete announcement, the CDC Procurement and Grants Office provided a point of contact (PGOTIM) at 770-488-2700, reflecting standard federal practice for ensuring access and clarifying administrative issues.
In plain terms, this program was designed to help organizations become more capable, consistent, and effective in HIV prevention work serving communities that carry disproportionate risk or burden, particularly racial and ethnic minority populations. Rather than funding prevention in a general sense, it specifically supports building organizational strength and the practical know-how to use evidence-based interventions and sound public health strategies, with the expectation that stronger delivery systems and better implementation quality will lead to improved prevention outcomes over time.
