Opportunity Summary:
The CDC funding opportunity titled "Enhanced Comprehensive HIV Prevention Planning and Implementation for Metropolitan Statistical Areas Most Affected by HIV/AIDS" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS10-10181) is a discretionary cooperative agreement designed to help the jurisdictions hit hardest by the HIV epidemic create and carry out more focused, higher-impact HIV prevention strategies. The central goal is to reduce HIV risk and new infections in the metropolitan areas with the greatest AIDS prevalence by strengthening how prevention, care, and treatment services are planned, coordinated, and delivered. Rather than supporting isolated activities, the program emphasizes building an "Enhanced Comprehensive HIV Prevention Plan" (ECHPP) that is driven by the best available evidence, tailored to local conditions, and supported with intensive technical guidance from HHS/CDC.
The program is structured in two phases. Phase I, funded under this specific announcement, has a one-year project period. During that year, grantees are expected to develop a focused ECHPP for their targeted metropolitan area and begin implementing the plan. The idea is that each jurisdiction uses data and evidence-based approaches to identify the most effective combination of services across the HIV continuum, including prevention interventions, linkage to care, retention in care, and treatment-related strategies that can reduce community viral load and ultimately prevent new transmissions. The plan is meant to be practical and implementation-ready, not just a planning document, with early implementation activities starting during the Phase I period.
Phase II is intentionally separated and would be funded under a different future FOA. After Phase I concludes, a subset of the Phase I jurisdictions would be selected through a competitive process to continue and expand implementation of their ECHPP over a two-year project period. In other words, Phase I is both a planning and initial rollout year, while Phase II is a more intensive implementation period reserved for selected jurisdictions that compete for the follow-on funding.
Funding for Phase I was substantial and targeted. The CDC anticipated 12 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $12,000,000. Individual award amounts were expected to fall between $750,000 (floor) and $1,750,000 (ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding falls under CFDA 93.523, The Affordable Care Act HIV Prevention and Public Health Fund Activities, aligning the opportunity with broader public health financing intended to strengthen prevention outcomes.
Eligibility was highly restricted and limited to 12 specific entities tied to the metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) or metropolitan divisions (MDs) with the highest estimated AIDS prevalence as of the end of 2007. Collectively, these 12 areas represented 44 percent of the total estimated number of persons living with AIDS in the United States at that time, which explains the program's concentrated focus on places where investments could have outsized impact. The eligible applicants were the following public health authorities: New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (New York Division); Los Angeles County Public Health Department (Los Angeles Division); District of Columbia Department of Mental Health (Washington Division); Chicago Department of Public Health (Chicago Division); Georgia Department of Human Resources (Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Marietta, GA); Florida State Department of Health (Miami Division); City of Philadelphia Public Health Department (Philadelphia Division); Houston Department of Health and Human Services (Houston-Baytown-Sugar Land, TX); San Francisco Department of Public Health (San Francisco Division); Maryland State Department of Health (Baltimore-Towson, MD); Texas State Department of Health Services (Dallas Division); and Puerto Rico Department of Health (San Juan-Caguas-Guaynabo, PR).
Administratively, the opportunity was issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as a cooperative agreement, meaning the CDC intended to have substantial involvement in guiding the work rather than operating as a hands-off funder. Key dates included a posted date of August 13, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 2, 2010, and an archive date of October 2, 2010. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) was listed as the contact point via phone at 770-488-2700.

What is the central goal of the work funded under this program?
The central goal is to reduce HIV risk and new infections in the metropolitan areas with the greatest AIDS prevalence by improving planning and implementation across prevention, care, and treatment services.
What is an Enhanced Comprehensive HIV Prevention Plan (ECHPP)?
An ECHPP is the required plan that jurisdictions develop to guide focused, evidence-driven HIV prevention planning and implementation tailored to local conditions. The plan is meant to be practical and implementation-ready, not just a planning document.
How is this program different from funding isolated HIV prevention activities?
Rather than supporting stand-alone activities, the program emphasizes building and executing a comprehensive, evidence-based plan (the ECHPP) that coordinates strategies across the HIV continuum.
What kinds of strategies or service areas are expected to be addressed in the ECHPP?
The ECHPP is expected to identify an effective combination of services across the HIV continuum, including prevention interventions, linkage to care, retention in care, and treatment-related strategies intended to reduce community viral load and prevent new transmissions.
Is this opportunity structured in phases?
Yes. The program is structured in two phases: Phase I (funded under this announcement) and Phase II (to be funded under a separate future funding opportunity announcement).
What is the project period for Phase I?
Phase I has a one-year project period.
What are Phase I recipients expected to do during the one-year project period?
