Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary grant funding opportunity called "Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Prevention Projects for Community Based Organizations" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS10-1003). The main goal is to support the development and implementation of HIV prevention programs delivered by community-focused organizations to populations that face elevated risk for acquiring or transmitting HIV. The opportunity is positioned as a public health investment aimed at expanding prevention services in communities where HIV burden and risk factors are significant, with an emphasis on reaching people who may not be adequately served by traditional health systems.
The program is designed to fund HIV prevention services for members of racial and ethnic minority communities, specifically noting groups such as African Americans and Hispanics/Latinos, where there may be a high risk of HIV infection. It also explicitly includes high-risk populations regardless of race or ethnicity, including men who have sex with men (MSM), injection drug users (IDUs), and people living with HIV who may be at risk for transmitting the virus. In practical terms, the CDC is signaling that funded projects should be targeted, culturally responsive, and capable of engaging communities that experience disproportionate HIV impact, whether due to structural barriers, stigma, limited access to prevention resources, or other social and behavioral factors.
Funding levels for fiscal year 2010 were projected at approximately $43,000,000 to support an estimated 145 awards. Individual awards were expected to range from $200,000 (award floor) to $500,000 (award ceiling). In addition to core program awards, the announcement notes that roughly $1,800,000 might also be available specifically for outcome monitoring activities, highlighting that the CDC placed value not only on delivering services but also on measuring results, documenting progress, and strengthening accountability around what works in real-world community settings.
Eligibility is centered on nonprofit and community-serving entities. The announcement lists eligible applicants as nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), along with hospitals, community-based organizations, and faith-based organizations. The listing also references "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," indicating there may be additional eligible categories or conditions described in the full announcement. Importantly, there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which typically lowers the barrier to participation for smaller organizations that may not have access to large pools of unrestricted funds.
Administratively, this is a grant (not a contract) categorized under Health, with the CFDA number 93.939 (HIV Prevention Activities - Non Governmental Organization Based). The opportunity was posted on August 26, 2009, with an application closing date of October 26, 2009, and an estimated funding start date of July 1, 2010. Applicants were directed to consult the full announcement on Grants.gov for complete program requirements, application components, and evaluation criteria. For technical difficulties accessing the announcement, the contact provided was the Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) at 770-488-2700.
Overall, the grant opportunity is structured to scale community-driven HIV prevention work by funding organizations that can credibly reach priority populations, implement prevention programming, and track outcomes. It reflects a CDC strategy of combining targeted service delivery with performance and outcome monitoring, using mid-sized awards to support a large number of projects nationwide rather than concentrating funds into only a few large initiatives.
