Health Department Demonstration Projects to Reduce HIV Infections and Improve Engagement in HIV Medical Care among Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM) and Transgender Persons | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Health Department Demonstration Projects to Reduce HIV Infections and Improve Engagement in HIV Medical Care among Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM) and Transgender Persons" is a CDC-led funding announcement focused on supporting health department work that directly addresses HIV prevention and improved connection to HIV medical care for two priority populations: MSM and transgender persons. The overall intent is to fund demonstration-style projects, meaning practical, real-world implementations that can show measurable approaches for reducing new HIV infections while also strengthening how effectively people living with HIV are linked to care, retained in care, and engaged in ongoing treatment services. Because it is framed around health department demonstration projects, the emphasis is on applied public health interventions that can be carried out at the jurisdictional level and potentially inform broader practice.

This opportunity is issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS-CDC), and it uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement typically indicates that CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work, such as providing technical assistance, program guidance, collaboration on implementation approaches, performance monitoring expectations, and support in evaluating outcomes. The activity category is listed as Health, and the associated CFDA number is 93.940, which is the federal assistance listing tied to HIV prevention activities under CDC.

The announcement is categorized as a Continuation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS15-150602CONT16), which signals it is meant for continuing or extending work under an existing program framework rather than launching an entirely new, open competition for first-time applicants. In practical terms, continuation opportunities often align with ongoing cooperative agreements and allow current recipients to sustain, refine, or scale interventions that have already been initiated under a prior funding cycle, usually with updated expectations, reporting, or targeted priorities.

Eligibility is noted as "Others" with clarification referenced in an additional eligibility section (not included in the provided excerpt). However, given the title and the repeated emphasis on "Health Department Demonstration Projects," the primary implementers are typically state, territorial, local, or large city/county health departments, or entities closely partnered with them. The focus on MSM and transgender persons suggests funded activities would prioritize culturally competent, community-informed strategies that address barriers to prevention and care engagement, including stigma, discrimination, limited access to affirming services, gaps in testing and linkage systems, and challenges with ongoing retention in HIV care.

Key administrative details include an original and current closing date of April 14, 2016, with a posted date and creation date of February 18, 2016. The listing indicates an expected 50 awards, suggesting a relatively broad distribution of funded projects across multiple jurisdictions. The Award Ceiling is shown as 0, which usually means a specific maximum award amount is not provided in the summary field, may vary by applicant category or jurisdiction, or is detailed elsewhere in the full funding announcement rather than in the high-level metadata.

In short, this CDC continuation cooperative agreement supports health department-led demonstration efforts designed to lower HIV incidence and strengthen engagement in HIV medical care among MSM and transgender persons, using practical, measurable public health approaches with CDC collaboration and oversight, and with an anticipated cohort of up to about 50 funded recipients based on the expected awards figure.
