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 client outcomes over time. It builds directly on an earlier CDC initiative (CDC-RFA-PS15-1502), launched in July 2015, in which CDC funded 90 community-based organizations (CBOs) to deliver comprehensive, high-impact HIV prevention services for two priority populations: people living with HIV and HIV-negative people at high risk for acquiring HIV. This newer opportunity takes the next step by supporting more intensive, structured outcome monitoring so CDC and participating CBOs can better see what services clients receive, what changes occur over time, and what barriers or facilitators affect service delivery and service use.
Under this competition, CDC planned to make cooperative agreement awards to a smaller subset of those already-funded PS15-1502 organizations, selecting about 15 to 18 CBOs. The work is divided into two funding categories based on the population being followed: Category 1 focuses on HIV-positive clients, and Category 2 focuses on high-risk HIV-negative clients. The central purpose is not to launch an entirely new prevention program, but to enhance the measurement and follow-up of PS15-1502 clients so that outcomes can be tracked longitudinally and interpreted in context. That includes documenting HIV prevention and support services provided, assessing the outcomes associated with those services, and capturing the real-world successes and challenges that shape whether clients can access, stay engaged with, and benefit from prevention and care-related supports.
The expected benefit is practical and program-focused. By generating better outcome data and learning systematically from implementation experiences, these monitoring projects are intended to help CBOs improve performance within their PS15-1502 programs and refine how services are planned and delivered. On a broader public health level, CDC frames this as contributing to the larger goals of reducing new HIV infections, improving linkage and access to care, and strengthening health outcomes for the clients served through PS15-1502. An explicit additional aim is capacity-building: participating grantees are expected to come out of the project with stronger internal ability to monitor HIV prevention services going forward and to use the resulting data for continuous program improvement, planning, and implementation decisions.
Administratively, this opportunity was issued by HHS-CDC as a discretionary cooperative agreement (Funding Opportunity Number RFA PS16 1604) under CFDA 93.939. Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), and in practice it was targeted to CBOs already funded under PS15-1502, since the monitoring is specifically tied to PS15-1502 clients. The announcement was posted February 5, 2016, with an application closing date of April 8, 2016. The award ceiling listed was $213,750, and CDC anticipated making up to 18 awards, aligning with the goal of selecting a subset of organizations to conduct deeper, enhanced outcome monitoring rather than spreading smaller amounts across all 90 original PS15-1502 recipients.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the Community-Based Organization Outcome Monitoring Projects opportunity?
This CDC funding opportunity supports community-based organizations (CBOs) in strengthening how they track and understand client outcomes over time for people served under the PS15-1502 initiative. The focus is on more intensive, structured outcome monitoring so CDC and participating CBOs can see what services clients receive, what changes occur over time, and what factors help or hinder service delivery and service use.
Which agency is offering this funding?
The opportunity was issued by HHS-CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).
What is the Funding Opportunity Number (FON) for this announcement?
The Funding Opportunity Number is RFA PS16 1604.

How does this opportunity relate to CDC-RFA-PS15-1502?
It builds directly on CDC-RFA-PS15-1502 (launched in July 2015), where CDC funded 90 CBOs to deliver comprehensive, high-impact HIV prevention services for two priority populations: people living with HIV and HIV-negative people at high risk for acquiring HIV. This newer opportunity supports enhanced outcome monitoring tied to clients served under PS15-1502.
Is this funding intended to start a new HIV prevention program?
No. The central purpose is not to launch an entirely new prevention program. Instead, it is meant to enhance measurement and follow-up of PS15-1502 clients so outcomes can be tracked longitudinally and interpreted in context.
What is the main goal of these monitoring projects?
The main goal is to strengthen longitudinal outcome monitoring for PS15-1502 clients by documenting services provided, assessing outcomes associated with those services, and capturing real-world successes and challenges that influence access, engagement, and benefit from prevention and care-related supports.
What kinds of information are these projects expected to track?
Based on the description, projects are expected to track: (1) HIV prevention and support services provided to clients, (2) changes in client outcomes over time, and (3) barriers and facilitators that affect service delivery, service use, and ongoing engagement.
How are the funding categories structured?
The work is divided into two categories based on the population being followed: Category 1 focuses on HIV-positive clients, and Category 2 focuses on high-risk HIV-negative clients.
Who is eligible to apply?
Eligibility was limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). In practice, it was targeted to CBOs already funded under PS15-1502 because the monitoring is specifically tied to PS15-1502 clients.
Are institutions of higher education eligible?
No. The eligibility description excludes institutions of higher education.
How many organizations did CDC originally fund under PS15-1502?
CDC funded 90 community-based organizations under the earlier PS15-1502 initiative.
How many awards did CDC anticipate making under this monitoring opportunity?
CDC anticipated making up to 18 awards, with a planned selection of about 15 to 18 CBOs.
Why did CDC plan to fund only a subset of PS15-1502 organizations?
The monitoring opportunity was designed for deeper, enhanced outcome monitoring by a smaller group rather than spreading smaller amounts across all 90 original PS15-1502 recipients.
What is the maximum funding amount (award ceiling) per award?
The award ceiling listed was $213,750.
When was the funding announcement posted?
The announcement was posted on February 5, 2016.
What was the application closing date?
The application closing date was April 8, 2016.
What outcomes or benefits does CDC expect from these projects?
CDC describes practical, program-focused benefits: better outcome data and systematic learning from implementation experiences to help CBOs improve performance within their PS15-1502 programs and refine how services are planned and delivered.
How does CDC connect these monitoring projects to broader public health goals?
CDC frames the effort as contributing to larger goals of reducing new HIV infections, improving linkage and access to care, and strengthening health outcomes for clients served through PS15-1502.
Is capacity-building part of the expected results?
Yes. An explicit aim is capacity-building so participating grantees strengthen their internal ability to monitor HIV prevention services going forward and use the resulting data for continuous program improvement, planning, and implementation decisions.
What does "longitudinal" outcome monitoring mean in this context?
In this context, it means following PS15-1502 clients over time to track services received and changes in outcomes, while also capturing contextual factors (barriers and facilitators) that help interpret what is happening and why.
What is the role of implementation experience in this opportunity?
The opportunity emphasizes learning systematically from implementation experiences, including documenting real-world successes and challenges that shape service delivery and service use.
