Opportunity Summary:

Capacity Building Assistance for High-Impact HIV Prevention is a federal public health funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) within NCHHSTP. The program is focused on strengthening the ability of HIV prevention programs to implement "high-impact" prevention strategies, meaning approaches that are evidence-based, scalable, and designed to reduce new HIV infections as efficiently and effectively as possible. The core idea is not simply to fund direct services, but to invest in capacity building so that organizations and jurisdictions can plan, deliver, manage, and improve HIV prevention work with better tools, training, systems, and technical support.

This opportunity is listed as a continuation funding action under Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS14-140304CONT17. As a continuation, it typically indicates CDC support for ongoing work aligned to an existing program framework rather than a brand-new, stand-alone competition. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which is important because it signals substantial CDC involvement during the project period. In practical terms, cooperative agreements generally come with a more collaborative relationship between the awardee and CDC compared to a standard grant, often including ongoing technical guidance, coordination requirements, reporting expectations, and alignment with CDC priorities for HIV prevention capacity building.

The activity category is Health and the CFDA number associated with the program is 93.939, which corresponds to HIV prevention activities supported through CDC. The opportunity anticipated around 10 awards, suggesting a limited number of funded recipients with potentially broad geographic or programmatic reach. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which usually means a specific maximum amount was not published in the summary fields or is determined through continuation budgeting and negotiations rather than a fixed cap presented in the public notice. The original posting date was September 15, 2016, with an original closing date of November 30, 2016.

Eligibility is described broadly as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," indicating that eligible applicants likely include certain types of organizations beyond the standard state and local government categories, such as nonprofit organizations, academic institutions, professional associations, or other entities capable of delivering capacity building assistance. In CDC capacity building contexts, eligible applicants are often organizations with demonstrated expertise in training, technical assistance, quality improvement, program evaluation, data use, and the implementation of evidence-based HIV prevention interventions, particularly for jurisdictions and providers serving populations most affected by HIV.

Overall, the grant opportunity supports the public health infrastructure behind HIV prevention by funding organizations to provide capacity building assistance, which can include training and technical assistance to improve program planning, implementation, monitoring, evaluation, and sustainability. In the CDC high-impact prevention model, this type of support generally aims to help prevention programs use data to target resources, adopt proven interventions, improve service delivery systems, strengthen partnerships, and maintain fidelity to evidence-based approaches while adapting appropriately to local contexts.
