Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a continuation cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), aimed at reducing hepatitis infections among non-urban young people who inject drugs. The program title, "Reduce Hepatitis Infections by Treatment and Integrated Prevention Services (Hepatitis-TIPS) among Non-urban Young Persons Who Inject Drugs," signals a focus on combining treatment access with coordinated prevention strategies, specifically tailored to communities outside major urban areas where service gaps, stigma, transportation barriers, and limited provider capacity often make hepatitis prevention and care harder to deliver consistently.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number RFA PS 14 00403CONT16 and uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument. A cooperative agreement typically means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the work beyond simply providing funds, such as offering technical assistance, collaborating on implementation approaches, and supporting evaluation or reporting. The activity category is Health, and the CFDA number is 93.270, which corresponds to CDC public health assistance programs. The listing is categorized as "Continuation," indicating it was intended for existing awardees or ongoing work under a prior related award rather than a broad, open competition for entirely new projects.
The target population is clearly defined: young persons who inject drugs in non-urban settings. In practical terms, this points to addressing hepatitis risks that are strongly linked to injection drug use, including transmission associated with sharing or reusing syringes and other injection equipment. The emphasis on "treatment and integrated prevention services" suggests a combined approach that may include identifying infections through testing, linking infected individuals to medical care and antiviral treatment where appropriate, and deploying prevention measures that reduce new infections. Integrated prevention commonly implies coordinating services such as syringe services, vaccinations (where applicable), risk reduction education, and linkage to substance use disorder treatment and other supportive services, delivered in a way that reduces fragmentation and makes it easier for people to access what they need.
Eligibility is not broadly specified in the summary fields and is instead listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)." That phrasing usually means applicants are limited to a specific set of organizations or entities defined in the full announcement, such as certain health departments, academic institutions, community-based organizations, or existing program partners. Since this is a continuation announcement, eligibility is often restricted to current recipients of the earlier project period or organizations already participating in the Hepatitis-TIPS initiative.
The posting and creation dates are both January 8, 2016, with an application closing date of April 25, 2016. The award ceiling is shown as 0, which in these listings often indicates that a specific maximum award amount was not provided in the summary record or is determined by other factors such as congressional appropriations, continuation budget negotiations, or project-specific funding levels. The "Expected Awards" field is blank in the provided data, so the summary does not indicate how many continuation awards CDC anticipated making at that time.
Overall, this opportunity reflects CDCs strategy of reducing hepatitis transmission and improving health outcomes in a high-risk population by pairing treatment access with practical, on-the-ground prevention services, with special attention to non-urban communities where infrastructure constraints can amplify risk and reduce continuity of care. The cooperative agreement structure suggests CDC intended close collaboration with funded recipients to implement evidence-informed interventions, coordinate partners, and measure progress toward fewer infections and better linkage to care for young people who inject drugs outside large metropolitan areas.
