Opportunity Summary:
The FY12 Peer to Peer Outreach Model to Curb HIV/AIDS Transmission Among High Risk Minority Youth and Adolescents (CHAT) grant opportunity was issued by the Office of Minority Health (within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health) to support community-driven strategies that reduce HIV transmission and improve HIV-related health outcomes for high risk racial and ethnic minority youth ages 13 to 19. The core purpose is to strengthen prevention, education, testing, counseling, and referral pathways in communities with high HIV prevalence, with an emphasis on approaches that resonate with adolescents and can realistically reach them where they are.
CHAT is built around an integrated outreach model that combines both traditional, on-the-ground services and newer digital engagement methods. Funded projects are expected to bring HIV testing into the broader youth-support ecosystem, pair testing with counseling, and ensure clear linkages to treatment, prevention services, and other supportive resources. A key feature of the program is the use of peer educators or lay health workers, reflecting the idea that youth may be more open to information and guidance delivered by trusted peers or near-peers who understand their lived experiences, social pressures, and communication styles. In addition, the program explicitly encourages the use of social media and technology to extend reach, deliver safer sex messaging, answer questions in real time or near real time, and keep youth connected to counselors and peer educators beyond a single in-person encounter.
The grant opportunity also stresses partnership building as a practical way to reach high risk adolescents who may already be connected to other services. Applicants are encouraged to collaborate with organizations that routinely engage vulnerable youth populations, including substance abuse prevention centers, foster care agencies, youth serving organizations, runaway and homeless youth shelters, and existing peer-to-peer education programs. The intent is to leverage these partners existing access and credibility, coordinate services rather than duplicate them, and build a network that can identify youth at risk, provide appropriate prevention education, normalize testing, and guide youth to follow-up care and support when needed.
Program design is organized around three major components. First is HIV testing, counseling, and linkages to services, meaning projects should not stop at offering tests but should also provide counseling and warm referrals to medical care, prevention services, and other supports. Second is the peer-to-peer educator or lay health worker component focused on HIV/AIDS education, which centers on delivering prevention information in relatable ways and helping youth navigate stigma, misinformation, and barriers to seeking care. Third is the utilization of social media and technology, which is meant to complement in-person outreach with ongoing digital touchpoints such as prevention tips, reminders, responses to questions, and tools that help maintain engagement over time.
Administratively, this was a discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement, indicating substantial federal involvement or collaboration in the execution of funded projects. The funding activity category is health, and it is associated with CFDA 93.137, Community Programs to Improve Minority Health Grant Program. The opportunity anticipated making around five awards with an estimated total funding amount of $1,000,000. Individual awards were expected to range from $200,000 (floor) to $250,000 (ceiling), and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on May 4, 2012, with an application closing date of June 8, 2012, and an archive date of July 8, 2012. Eligibility was listed broadly as "Others" with a note to refer to additional eligibility information in the full announcement.
For access issues related to the full announcement, the listing directed applicants to the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726) and support@grants.gov, which reflects that submissions and full details were intended to be handled through the Grants.gov system.
