Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Enhancing HIV Mobilization among Organizations Serving Gay, Bisexual and other Men Who Have Sex with Men," is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement designed to strengthen HIV prevention efforts within national organizations that already have established reach and credibility with gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM). The core idea is to let these organizations build on what they have already put in place (such as partnerships, communications channels, community influence, and program infrastructure) and use that foundation to more intentionally prioritize HIV prevention among the MSM communities they serve. The program is framed as contributing to five Healthy People 2020 objectives, signaling that the work is intended to align with broader national public health goals and measurable outcomes.
The announcement is not an open competition for new applicants. It is explicitly a continuation opportunity tied to an earlier CDC funding opportunity announcement (FOA) identified as PS12-1211, meaning eligibility is limited to organizations that were already funded under that earlier FOA. The notice lists two eligible applicants under the existing award structure: AIDS United and The Center for Black Equity. In practical terms, this kind of continuation cooperative agreement is typically used when the agency wants to extend or supplement ongoing work that is already underway, rather than start entirely new projects with new recipients.
The public health rationale for the award is grounded in the disproportionate impact of HIV on MSM in the United States. The notice highlights that MSM make up roughly 2 percent of the U.S. population but experience the highest burden of HIV. It cites 2010 data indicating that young MSM ages 13 to 23 accounted for 72 percent of new infections among all people ages 13 to 24, and 30 percent of new infections among all MSM. It also notes that by the end of 2010, an estimated 489,121 people living with a diagnosed HIV infection in the U.S. were MSM, representing about 56 percent of persons living with an HIV diagnosis. These figures are used to justify targeted mobilization and prevention strategies focused on MSM, including younger MSM who are experiencing particularly high rates of new infections.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity is issued by the CDC under a cooperative agreement mechanism, which generally means the CDC anticipates having substantial involvement in the work (for example, providing technical assistance, guidance, or collaboration during implementation) rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The opportunity is categorized as a continuation and falls under the health activity category, with the CFDA program number 93.118 (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, AIDS). The total estimated funding is $240,000, with an expectation of two awards. Individual awards are projected to fall between a floor of $100,000 and a ceiling of $120,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so recipients are not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Key dates included in the announcement indicate it was posted and created on April 8, 2014, with an application closing date of June 10, 2014, and an archive date of July 10, 2014. For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO) was listed as the point of contact, including a phone number (770-488-2700) and email (pgotim@cdc.gov). Overall, the opportunity is best understood as targeted supplemental continuation funding meant to intensify HIV prevention mobilization through a small number of established national partners with demonstrated connections to MSM communities, rather than as a broad call for new organizations to enter the space.
