Opportunity Summary:
The FY10 "Leading Ladies Promoting Healthy Lifestyles and Healthy Families" grant (Funding Opportunity Number WH AST 10 001) was a discretionary federal health funding opportunity offered by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health. It was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning awardees would be expected to work closely with the federal project office in carrying out the work rather than operating fully independently. The central goal of the project was to expand the reach and impact of the National HIV Testing Mobilization Campaign by intentionally engaging faith-based organizations (FBOs) as trusted community partners in HIV/AIDS awareness and related prevention efforts.
The opportunity was designed around the idea that churches and other faith institutions often serve as key hubs for community life, especially for women and families, and that they can help normalize conversations about HIV, reduce stigma, and increase awareness of testing and services. In practice, the grant aimed to support organizations that could connect public health or social service systems with multiple faith communities, using those relationships to encourage healthier lifestyles and promote HIV-related education and testing. While the short description focuses on HIV/AIDS awareness, the eligibility language also emphasizes HIV/AIDS and STD service capacity, signaling an expectation that funded work would be informed by broader sexual health and prevention needs, particularly for women and girls.
Funding was planned for about five awards, with expected award amounts ranging from $150,000 to $250,000 per award (floor to ceiling). There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which typically lowers the financial barrier for qualified applicants and can make participation more feasible for community-based and faith-based entities. The program was listed under CFDA 93.088, "Advancing System Improvements for Key Issues in Women's Health," reinforcing that the project fit within a women's health and health equity frame rather than being only a general HIV initiative.
Eligibility was limited to applicants able to demonstrate real, existing capacity and credibility in this space. The Office on Women's Health (OWH) expected successful applicants to already have an HIV/AIDS/STD health or social service focus and a track record of community involvement and acceptance. Applicants also needed to show they had previously built effective relationships between churches and health or social service organizations, and that they could reach multiple faith-based organizations or institutions (for example, individual churches, church coalitions, or denomination-affiliated networks). A key requirement was evidence of partnerships with multiple faith-based organizations, not just a plan to start outreach after funding.
The geographic targeting priorities made clear that the project was meant to concentrate resources where they were most needed. Applicants were expected to focus on areas with one or more of the following: high HIV and/or STD prevalence among women and girls, a shortage of HIV/AIDS/STD services, and/or communities disproportionately affected by health disparities. This focus aligns with public health goals of directing prevention and awareness efforts toward places where the burden is highest and where service gaps or inequities make outcomes worse.
The opportunity allowed a range of organizational types to apply, including faith-based organizations (with or without 501(c)(3) status), community-based organizations that do have 501(c)(3) status, and tribal governments and tribal or urban Indian entities and organizations. That mix suggests the program was intended to support both faith-led applicants and public-health-oriented intermediaries that can coordinate across multiple churches and community partners, including in tribal contexts.
Key administrative dates show this was a time-limited FY2010 competition. The opportunity was posted June 14, 2010, with an original closing date of July 15, 2010, later extended to July 20, 2010, and ultimately archived on August 19, 2010. Applicants needing technical help accessing the announcement were directed to the Grants.gov Contact Center, reflecting the standard federal electronic submission process for that period.
