Opportunity Summary:
The Community-Based Organization Outcome Monitoring Projects for PS15-1502 HIV-Positive and High-Risk HIV-Negative Clients is a CDC funding opportunity designed to strengthen how certain community-based organizations track and understand the real-world results of their HIV prevention and support services over time. This competition builds directly on an earlier CDC initiative, CDC-RFA-PS15-1502 (Comprehensive High-Impact HIV Prevention Projects for Community-Based Organizations), which began in July 2015 and funded 90 community-based organizations (CBOs) to deliver comprehensive HIV prevention programming to two key populations: people living with HIV and HIV-negative people who are at high risk of acquiring HIV. The core idea behind this follow-on opportunity is that strong service delivery is not enough on its own; organizations also need better, more consistent outcome monitoring so they can see what is working, where clients are getting stuck, and what improvements are needed to reduce HIV-related illness, deaths, and inequities.
Under this opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS16 1604), CDC planned to make competitive cooperative agreement awards to a smaller subset of those already funded under PS15-1502. Specifically, CDC expected to fund about 15 to 18 of the PS15-1502 CBOs to carry out enhanced, longer-term outcome monitoring of clients served through PS15-1502 programming. Applicants would focus on one of two monitoring categories: Category 1, which centers on HIV-positive clients, and Category 2, which centers on high-risk HIV-negative clients. The monitoring emphasis signals that CDC wanted grantees to go beyond basic counts of services delivered and instead develop a clearer picture of clients journeys over time, including what prevention and support services they receive, what outcomes follow those services, and what barriers or enabling factors affect both service provision and service use.
The purpose of these monitoring projects is practical and performance-driven. CDC sought better information about the types of HIV prevention and support services PS15-1502 clients receive, the outcomes associated with those services, and the day-to-day successes and challenges organizations face in delivering services and keeping clients engaged. By collecting and using stronger outcome data, participating CBOs would be positioned to improve their own program performance, make more informed adjustments to program planning and implementation, and ultimately contribute to larger public health goals such as reducing new HIV infections, improving access to HIV care, and improving health outcomes for clients. Another major emphasis is capacity-building: grantees were expected to strengthen their ability to monitor services in the future and to use the data routinely, not just for compliance reporting but as a tool for continuous program improvement.
Administratively, this was a discretionary grant opportunity offered by HHS through the CDC, specifically under the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP). The funding instrument type was a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial CDC involvement in guiding or supporting the work compared with a standard grant. The assistance listing reference included CFDA 93.939, reflecting the health-focused nature of the program. Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), and, in practice, only those CBOs already funded under PS15-1502 were positioned to compete since the awards were intended for PS15-1502 recipients. The application closing date listed was April 8, 2016. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) was $213,750, and CDC anticipated making up to 18 awards, aligning with the stated plan to fund 15 to 18 organizations.
Overall, this opportunity can be understood as an effort to tighten the link between community-delivered HIV prevention services and measurable client outcomes. By investing in enhanced outcome monitoring for both HIV-positive and high-risk HIV-negative clients, CDC aimed to generate more reliable, actionable information that CBOs could use to improve service delivery, reduce disparities, and support stronger health outcomes in communities most affected by HIV.

The intent is to produce reliable, actionable information that can drive continuous program improvement and support broader public health goals.
How does this opportunity relate to CDC-RFA-PS15-1502?
This is a follow-on competition that builds directly on CDC-RFA-PS15-1502 (Comprehensive High-Impact HIV Prevention Projects for Community-Based Organizations), which began in July 2015 and funded 90 CBOs to deliver comprehensive HIV prevention programming to people living with HIV and HIV-negative people at high risk of acquiring HIV.
Who is the intended applicant pool?
The competition was designed for a smaller subset of organizations already funded under PS15-1502. CDC planned to make awards to about 15 to 18 of the PS15-1502-funded CBOs to conduct enhanced, longer-term outcome monitoring of clients served through PS15-1502 programming.
What types of organizations are eligible to apply?
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. In practice, applicants were expected to be CBOs already funded under PS15-1502 since the awards were intended for PS15-1502 recipients.
What populations are the focus of the monitoring work?
The monitoring is centered on two key populations served through PS15-1502 programming: people living with HIV and HIV-negative people who are at high risk of acquiring HIV.
What are the two monitoring categories mentioned in the opportunity?
Applicants would focus on one of two monitoring categories: Category 1, centered on HIV-positive clients, and Category 2, centered on high-risk HIV-negative clients.
What does "outcome monitoring" mean in the context of this opportunity?
Outcome monitoring here goes beyond basic counts of services delivered. It emphasizes developing a clearer picture of clients journeys over time, including what prevention and support services they receive, what outcomes occur after those services, and what factors help or hinder service delivery and client engagement.
What kinds of information did CDC want grantees to generate?
CDC sought better information about: (1) the types of HIV prevention and support services PS15-1502 clients receive, (2) the outcomes associated with those services, and (3) the day-to-day successes and challenges organizations face in delivering services and keeping clients engaged.
Why is CDC emphasizing outcome monitoring rather than service counts?
The opportunity reflects the idea that strong service delivery alone is not enough; organizations also need consistent outcome monitoring to see what is working, where clients are getting stuck, and what improvements are needed to reduce HIV-related illness, deaths, and inequities.
How are the results expected to be used by participating CBOs?
By collecting and using stronger outcome data, participating organizations would be positioned to improve program performance, make more informed adjustments to program planning and implementation, and use data as a routine tool for continuous improvement (not only for compliance reporting).
What broader public health goals does this work support?
The monitoring projects were intended to contribute to larger goals such as reducing new HIV infections, improving access to HIV care, and improving health outcomes for clients, including addressing disparities and inequities in communities most affected by HIV.
Is capacity-building part of the expected work?
Yes. A major emphasis is strengthening the grantees ability to monitor services in the future and to use outcome data routinely as part of ongoing program improvement.

PS15-1502 funded comprehensive HIV prevention programming and service delivery. This follow-on opportunity focuses on enhanced, longer-term outcome monitoring of clients served through PS15-1502, aiming to produce clearer evidence about client outcomes over time and to improve program performance through better data use.
What does the opportunity suggest about client engagement over time?
It highlights the need to understand where clients may get stuck and what challenges organizations face in keeping clients engaged, indicating that tracking outcomes over time is a key priority.
Is this a discretionary grant?
