Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Demonstration Project of Elective Adult Male Circumcision Conducted in Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) Clinics in the United States" under Funding Opportunity Number RFA PS 09 005. The program was issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning recipients would be expected to work in coordination with CDC on the project rather than operate entirely independently. It falls under the health funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 93.941, which covers HIV demonstration, research, and public/professional education projects.
The main purpose of the announcement is to support demonstration and monitoring efforts around elective adult male circumcision in U.S. STD clinic settings, specifically as an intervention to reduce the risk of male acquisition of HIV through penile-vaginal sex. The focus is on populations where heterosexual HIV incidence is high, with the broader intent of generating practical, real-world information on implementing and tracking this prevention approach in clinical environments where individuals at risk for sexually transmitted infections commonly seek care. In other words, the project is not simply about providing services, but about observing and documenting how circumcision can be delivered, monitored, and assessed as a public health intervention within STD clinics.
Funding for fiscal year 2009 was projected at approximately $155,000 total, with an expectation of about two awards. The stated award ceiling was $80,000, indicating individual awards were anticipated to stay at or below that amount. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which typically lowers the barrier to entry for applicants that may not have non-federal funds available to contribute. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional clarifications contained in the full announcement.
Key dates included a posted date of December 23, 2008, with the opportunity created in early February 2009. The application deadline was March 3, 2009 (with no change between the original and current closing date). The archive date was April 2, 2009, indicating the opportunity would no longer be actively available after that point. The CDC estimated that awards would be made prior to August 15, 2009, which provides a rough timeline between submission, review, and funding decisions.
Applicants were directed to the CDC funding opportunities page for the complete program announcement and detailed requirements. For access issues or help locating the full announcement, the CDC Procurement and Grants Office provided a contact point through PGOTIM at 770-488-2700.
