Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary grant funding opportunity titled "Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Prevention Projects for the Pacific Islands" (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC-RFA-PS10-1002). This announcement falls under the health funding activity category and supports HIV prevention activities (CFDA 93.940). The core goal is to reduce HIV transmission across the U.S.-Affiliated Pacific Islands by strengthening the capacity of local public health agencies to plan, run, and assess comprehensive HIV prevention programs. In practical terms, the FOA is focused on helping health departments and ministries of health build and improve the systems and skills needed to design evidence-informed prevention strategies, implement them effectively, and evaluate results so programs can be refined and sustained.
Funding for this opportunity was estimated at approximately $1,500,000 for fiscal year 2010, with CDC anticipating six total awards. The announcement does not list a specific award floor or ceiling in the summary data provided, which typically means applicants must rely on the full FOA guidance for expected budget ranges, allowable costs, and any recommended funding levels. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award, which can be especially important for smaller jurisdictions with limited public health budgets.
Eligibility is narrowly defined and limited to the six health departments or ministries of health in the U.S.-Affiliated Pacific Island jurisdictions: American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau. The announcement explicitly notes that health departments in the 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands are not eligible under this particular FOA because they are funded through a separate CDC announcement. This indicates the CDC intended to tailor HIV prevention support to the unique operational realities, geography, and public health infrastructure of the Pacific Island jurisdictions rather than using a one-size-fits-all funding approach.
Key dates in the public notice show it was posted and created on August 4, 2009. The original application closing date was October 28, 2009, but the current closing date was moved to October 5, 2009. The archive date is November 4, 2009, meaning that after that point the opportunity would be considered closed and primarily available for historical reference. Applicants needing help obtaining or viewing the full announcement were directed to CDC PGO TIMS (Technical Information Management Section) at 770-488-2700, which is the contact point listed for access issues rather than programmatic questions.
Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as capacity-building support for jurisdiction-level HIV prevention work in the Pacific Islands, with an emphasis on comprehensive program design, implementation, and evaluation led by the official public health agencies in those jurisdictions. The structure of six expected awards aligns directly with the six eligible jurisdictions, suggesting the program was designed to fund each jurisdiction to strengthen its local HIV prevention response within the CDC HIV prevention framework.
