Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Communication and Technical Assistance Support for HIV/AIDS Prevention Programs" (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA PS09-921). This opportunity was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the CDC expected to have substantial involvement with the awardee during the project period rather than providing a simple pass-through grant. The program sat within the health funding category and was tied to CFDA 93.941, which covers HIV demonstration, research, and public/professional education projects.
The goal of the award was to strengthen HIV/AIDS prevention efforts by improving how state and territorial health departments communicate with each other and resolve implementation challenges in real time. The emphasis was not on delivering direct clinical services, but on providing technical support and creating a practical, ongoing structure for active communication, coordination, and problem-solving across jurisdictions. In practice, this kind of work typically includes convening partners, facilitating peer-to-peer learning, helping health departments interpret and apply prevention guidance, and supporting consistent approaches to program planning and execution across states and territories.
Funding was highly limited and competitive in scale: the CDC anticipated making approximately one award, with an estimated total funding amount of about $1,200,000 and an award ceiling of $1,200,000. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility. The estimated funding date was projected to be prior to July 1, 2009, indicating the CDC intended for the project to begin soon after the award decision.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations, including both nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also excluding institutions of higher education). The announcement notes that applicants needed to consult the full funding opportunity announcement for additional eligibility details and any specific requirements, which often cover items like organizational capacity, relevant experience, and expectations for collaboration.
Key administrative dates included a posted date of March 25, 2009, a closing date of May 25, 2009 (unchanged as the current closing date), and an archive date of June 24, 2009. For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, the CDC provided a point of contact through the Procurement and Grants Office (PGO TIM) at 770-488-2700.
