Opportunity Summary:
The FY10 Prevention for HIV Infected Women Living in Puerto Rico grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number WH HPP 10 001) was a discretionary federal funding announcement issued by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health to support a demonstration-style prevention program focused specifically on women living with HIV in Puerto Rico. The central aim was to reduce secondary HIV transmission among HIV-positive women who may be engaging in high-risk behaviors, while also strengthening their connection to medical care and supportive services. A major emphasis of the program was reducing isolation and stigma and improving women s knowledge and use of protective behaviors, using approaches that are gender-specific, culturally appropriate, and grounded in local community realities.
A key feature of the opportunity was its expectation that applicants would build collaborative partnerships rather than operate in isolation. The announcement highlighted the importance of coordination between community-based organizations and local health or social service providers, along with coalitions and support groups already serving or capable of serving HIV-infected women. In practice, the program was meant to show how these partnerships could work together to identify women in need, engage them consistently, and create supportive environments that help women stay in care and strengthen their ability to prevent transmission.
The project outcomes applicants were required to address centered on establishing and implementing practical, on-the-ground activities that result in functioning social networks, coalitions, and support groups. These structures were not treated as optional add-ons; they were the mechanism through which women would be supported to access care, remain in care over time, and build prevention competence. In other words, the program was designed to go beyond one-time education and instead create ongoing peer and community connections that help sustain behavior change, treatment adherence, and consistent engagement with services.
The required activities for funded projects were laid out clearly. Each project had to develop a model outreach plan aimed at HIV-positive women, built through coordination with existing local providers and active recruitment of women into social networks, support groups, or coalitions. Projects also had to facilitate the development of these networks by creating safe forums where women could receive risk-reduction counseling and education, participate in confidential discussions about coping with living with HIV, access peer and mentoring support that could extend to families, and reduce isolation and stigma. In addition, projects were expected to coordinate HIV counseling and testing for women whose HIV status was unknown and ensure that any women newly identified as HIV-positive were linked to medical care and other needed services. Finally, each funded project needed to conduct a local evaluation of performance activities, reflecting that the grant was intended to demonstrate effectiveness and generate usable lessons.
The opportunity aligned these requirements with broader objectives associated with the Office on Women s Health program priorities. Those objectives included increasing access to quality HIV care and treatment for women living with HIV, expanding secondary prevention services for HIV-positive women and primary prevention for women at risk, improving understanding of living with HIV including disease management and treatment adherence, and increasing community support activities for women living with HIV and their families. Taken together, the grant framed HIV prevention for women in Puerto Rico as both a clinical and social support issue, where improved outcomes depend on coordinated services, sustained peer support, and culturally grounded community engagement.
From an administrative standpoint, funding was offered through a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning the federal agency would typically expect substantial involvement or collaboration in the project s execution compared to a standard grant. The announcement anticipated a single award, with funding ranging from 125,000 (floor) to 375,000 (ceiling). The CFDA number associated with the program was 93.015 (HIV Prevention Programs for Women). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement noted. The posting date was June 14, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 15, 2010, and the opportunity was archived on August 14, 2010. Eligibility was listed broadly as Others with additional clarification referenced in the full announcement, although the provided text does not include specific eligibility constraints beyond that category.
For access or submission issues at the time, applicants were directed to the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726, Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Eastern) and support@grants.gov.
