Opportunity Summary:
The FY10 Project HOPE grant opportunity, formally titled "Helping Organizations Provide Effective HIV/AIDS Prevention for Women and Girls: A Capacity Building and Technical Assistance Cooperative Agreement," was a discretionary federal funding program administered by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health. It was designed to strengthen the ability of individuals, organizations, and communities to carry out effective HIV prevention work for women and girls by improving their organizational and programmatic capacity rather than paying for direct prevention services. The funding mechanism was a cooperative agreement, which typically means the awarding agency expects to have an ongoing, collaborative role with recipients during the project period, as opposed to a standard grant with less federal involvement.
At the center of the announcement is the definition of capacity building assistance (CBA). In this program, CBA specifically meant providing free (not fee-based) support such as information sharing, training, technical assistance, and technology transfer. The goal of these supports was twofold: first, to help organizations and communities "operate optimally" (which can include strengthening internal systems, planning, management, data use, and operational effectiveness), and second, to increase their ability to deliver evidence-based interventions and core public health strategies for HIV prevention. A notable emphasis was placed on using gender-responsive strategies, meaning the CBA efforts were expected to reflect and address the realities that shape HIV risk and prevention access for women and girls, and to help organizations implement programming in ways that are responsive to gender-related factors.
A key limitation in the opportunity was that CBA services were not meant to include the direct delivery of HIV prevention services. In other words, the award was intended to fund the behind-the-scenes support that helps other entities improve and expand their prevention work, not to fund direct client services such as testing events, counseling, or on-the-ground prevention program delivery. The program also recognized that communities disproportionately impacted by HIV are often disproportionately affected by other sexually transmitted infections, including gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and herpes. Because of that overlap, applicants were expected to incorporate, when appropriate, prevention interventions and public health best practices related to STIs alongside HIV prevention capacity building. This framing signals an expectation that capacity-building efforts should be aligned with real-world sexual health needs and integrated prevention approaches rather than treating HIV in isolation.
In terms of funding details, the opportunity was listed under Funding Opportunity Number WH MPP 10 001 and CFDA number 93.015 (HIV Prevention Programs for Women). The agency anticipated making two awards. The award floor was $250,000 and the ceiling was $500,000, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on June 21, 2010, with an application closing date of July 21, 2010, and it was later archived on August 20, 2010. Eligibility was broadly categorized as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full announcement, and the summary information provided did not include specific eligibility restrictions beyond that label.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full notice electronically, the listing directed them to the Grants.gov Contact Center for support, including a phone number and email, reflecting that applications and official materials were intended to be accessed through the standard federal grants portal.
FY10 Project HOPE Grant Opportunity FAQs
What is the official name of this grant opportunity?

What is FY10 Project HOPE designed to do?
It is designed to strengthen the ability of individuals, organizations, and communities to carry out effective HIV prevention work for women and girls by improving organizational and programmatic capacity.

Which federal office administered this program?
The program was administered by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health.
What type of funding mechanism is used?
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement.
What does a cooperative agreement imply for how the project is run?
A cooperative agreement typically means the awarding agency expects to have an ongoing, collaborative role with recipients during the project period, rather than the more hands-off approach commonly associated with a standard grant.
What does "capacity building assistance (CBA)" mean in this program?
In this program, CBA specifically means providing free (not fee-based) support such as information sharing, training, technical assistance, and technology transfer.
Is CBA allowed to be fee-based (charging for services)?
No. The CBA described for this opportunity is explicitly free, not fee-based.
What are the main goals of the CBA services under this opportunity?
The goals are twofold: (1) help organizations and communities "operate optimally" (including strengthening internal systems, planning, management, data use, and operational effectiveness) and (2) increase their ability to deliver evidence-based interventions and core public health strategies for HIV prevention.
What does "operate optimally" refer to in this context?
It refers to strengthening internal organizational and operational capabilities such as systems, planning, management practices, data use, and overall operational effectiveness.
Does this opportunity fund direct HIV prevention services?
No. A key limitation is that the award is intended to fund behind-the-scenes capacity building and support, not the direct delivery of HIV prevention services.

Yes, when appropriate. The opportunity recognizes overlap between communities disproportionately impacted by HIV and those affected by other STIs, so applicants were expected to incorporate prevention interventions and public health best practices related to STIs alongside HIV prevention capacity building when appropriate.
Which STIs are specifically referenced in the opportunity summary?
