Opportunity Summary:
The FY12 "In Community Spirit" Prevention of HIV/AIDS program (Funding Opportunity Number WH HPP 12 003) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered through the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have an ongoing programmatic role with awardees beyond simply issuing funds. The overall purpose is to increase HIV prevention knowledge and reduce the risk of HIV infection among Native/American Indian and Alaska Native women living in rural and frontier areas of Indian Country, with an emphasis on using multi-level interventions rather than relying on a single approach.
The program is designed around implementing one or more intervention types at different levels. On the community level, applicants can focus on community awareness efforts aimed at Native communities, along with capacity building that strengthens local ability to address HIV prevention over time. The community-level track also includes providing technical assistance to service providers who work with Native women, which can mean improving the readiness and skill of clinics, community programs, and related organizations to deliver culturally relevant HIV/STD prevention education, screening referrals, and supportive services. On the group level, the program supports direct demonstration of an HIV/STD prevention education intervention specifically for women and girls, meaning structured prevention education delivered to participants in a group setting with the intent to show measurable improvements in knowledge and risk-reduction behaviors.
Funding is available under CFDA 93.015 (HIV Prevention Programs for Women). The opportunity anticipated making about four awards. Award sizes ranged from a floor of $25,000 up to a ceiling of $150,000, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for smaller or resource-limited organizations. The announcement was posted on May 9, 2012, with an application closing date of June 11, 2012, and it was later archived on July 11, 2012.
Eligibility is broad in terms of organizational types but targeted in terms of experience and population focus. Applicants needed to demonstrate a history of serving Native/American Indian and Alaska Native rural women and related priority populations, including poor women, women who use substances or are in recovery, survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV), women living with HIV/AIDS, and women whose circumstances place them at higher risk for HIV/STD infection. Eligible applicants could include nonprofit community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, national organizations, colleges and universities, clinics and hospitals, research institutions, state and local government agencies, and tribal governments as well as tribal and urban Indian entities and organizations. This eligibility framing signals that the program was not limited to tribal governments alone; it invited partnerships and a wide range of community and health-sector organizations as long as they had credible, relevant experience with the intended communities.
In practical terms, the grant opportunity aimed to support culturally grounded, community-informed HIV prevention work that reaches Native women and girls where they live and receive services. It encouraged approaches that combine public-facing community awareness, strengthening local service systems, and direct prevention education with participants, all tailored to rural and frontier Indian Country contexts where access to prevention services can be limited and where programs often need to address overlapping risks such as substance use, violence, poverty, and limited healthcare availability.
For applicants needing assistance accessing or navigating the full funding announcement, the contact point listed was the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726, support@grants.gov), available 24/7 except federal holidays, reflecting that applications and related materials were expected to be handled through the Grants.gov system and according to the submission instructions in the official announcement.
