Opportunity Summary:
Capacity Building Assistance for High Impact HIV Prevention (CDC-RFA-PS14-1403) is a CDC cooperative agreement funding opportunity designed to strengthen the national HIV prevention infrastructure by improving the quality and reach of capacity building assistance (CBA) provided to organizations on the front lines of HIV prevention. The opportunity is framed around the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS) and introduces CDCs Community High Impact Prevention (CHIP) initiative, which signals a shift away from scattered or purely activity-based support and toward a more coordinated, outcomes-driven approach. The central idea is to help health departments, community-based organizations, and healthcare organizations plan, implement, and sustain HIV prevention strategies that are evidence-based, cost-effective, scalable, and targeted to the populations and places with the greatest need, with the broader goal of reducing new HIV infections and addressing related illness, deaths, and persistent disparities.
This announcement supports what CDC describes as a flagship national program for delivering high-quality CBA services. In practical terms, applicants are expected to provide training, technical assistance, and other forms of organizational support that enable recipient organizations to adopt and maintain high impact prevention approaches. The emphasis is on scientifically proven interventions and on focusing resources where they will produce the largest prevention gains, including communities experiencing disproportionate HIV burden. By prioritizing interventions that can be scaled and sustained, the program aims to move beyond one-time trainings and toward systems and competencies that allow organizations to consistently deliver effective prevention services over time.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expects substantial involvement in guiding or collaborating on program implementation rather than operating as a hands-off funder. The funding activity category is health, and the CFDA listing is 93.939 (HIV Prevention Activities, Non-Governmental Organization Based). CDC anticipated up to 25 awards under this opportunity, with an estimated total funding amount of $245,000,000. Individual awards were expected to range from $2,500,000 (floor) to $9,000,000 (ceiling). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the financial barrier to participation for many organizations.
Eligibility is broad and includes many entity types that could plausibly deliver national or multi-jurisdictional capacity building support. Eligible applicants include state and local governments and their bona fide agents (including US territories and freely associated states listed in the announcement), political subdivisions of states in consultation with states, tribal governments and tribally designated organizations, tribal epidemiology centers, and urban Indian health organizations. It also includes colleges and universities, hospitals, healthcare organizations and corporations, community-based and faith-based organizations, professional associations, research institutions when conducting non-research activities, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), along with small, minority-, and women-owned businesses. This breadth reflects CDCs intent to attract applicants that already have strong networks and operational capacity to deliver CBA at scale.
Key administrative details include the posting date of August 2, 2013, with an original and current application deadline of October 2, 2013 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time via Grants.gov, and a letter of intent deadline of August 22, 2013. The opportunity was archived November 1, 2013. For access issues with the full announcement, CDC directed applicants to the Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) at 770-488-2700, and provided an additional information link to the PS14-1403 FOA website.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a large-scale investment in the capacity of prevention systems themselves: building the skills, tools, and implementation support that enable multiple types of organizations to deliver high impact HIV prevention with consistency, quality, and a clear focus on the highest-burden populations and settings.
