Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Connecting Latino and African American Males to Sexual Health Services: An Adaptation of Project Connect," was issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), Division of STD Prevention (DSTDP). It was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the CDC would be expected to have an active role in working with funded recipients rather than simply providing funds with minimal involvement. The activity category is health, and it is tied to CFDA 93.977, which supports preventive health services focused on sexually transmitted diseases (STD) control. The opportunity was posted on April 9, 2014, with an original and final closing date of May 9, 2014, and it was archived on June 8, 2014.
A key point about eligibility is that this was continuation funding only. In other words, it was not open to new applicants. The funding was specifically intended for organizations that had already received awards under the earlier FOA PS12-1212 with the same title. The listing notes that eligible applicants are "Others (see text field...)," but the eligibility clarification makes it clear that the pool was restricted to existing grantees from the prior competition. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so recipients were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the continuation award.
The overarching purpose of the program was to adapt "Project Connect," described as a health systems intervention, to better meet the needs of Latino and African American adolescent males. The program explicitly includes young men who have sex with men (YMSM), reflecting an intent to reach subgroups that can face higher sexual health risks and also greater barriers to care. At its core, the effort is about improving how adolescent males are linked to sexual and reproductive health services in their communities, with an emphasis on making those connections effective in real-world settings. The framing suggests a focus not just on individual behavior change, but on practical improvements to systems of care and referral pathways so that young people can find and access appropriate services more easily.
The announcement lists an expected 50 awards, although the financial fields in the summary record show zeros for estimated total funding and for award ceiling and floor, which typically indicates that the public abstracted record did not include dollar amounts or that amounts were handled through continuation award mechanisms rather than a newly competed funding total. Because it is a continuation, the most realistic interpretation is that funding levels would be determined by the existing award structures and ongoing project scopes for those already funded under PS12-1212, rather than through a fresh open competition with clearly stated dollar ranges.
For applicants needing help obtaining the full announcement at the time, the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO) was provided as the point of contact, with a phone number (770-488-2700) and email (pgotim@cdc.gov). The funding opportunity number associated with this continuation is CDC-RFA-PS12-121203CONT14, which signals it is a continuation action connected to the earlier PS12-1212 initiative.
