Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (CDC RFA PS11-1113) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention discretionary funding program offered through a cooperative agreement to support community-based HIV prevention work focused on young men of color who have sex with men and young transgender persons of color, along with their partners who are at high risk for acquiring or transmitting HIV. In this announcement, "young" and "youth" are specifically defined as people ages 13 through 29. The overall intent is to strengthen and expand effective, community-based approaches that can reach populations that are often underserved by traditional health systems and that face disproportionate HIV burden.
The program emphasizes several connected goals. A central priority is increasing the number of young men of color who have sex with men and young transgender persons of color who know their HIV status, which points to expanded or enhanced HIV testing and strategies that reduce barriers to getting tested. Beyond testing, the opportunity stresses linking people to care, treatment, and prevention services, meaning recipients are expected not only to identify individuals at risk or living with HIV but also to ensure they can actually access medical care and ongoing prevention supports. Another major goal is capacity building for CDC-funded community-based organizations, especially those delivering selected structural interventions, behavioral interventions, outreach, or enhanced HIV testing approaches. "Structural" work typically refers to interventions that address system-level or environmental barriers (such as improving service access pathways, reducing stigma in service settings, or strengthening referral networks), while behavioral interventions and outreach focus on direct engagement and risk reduction support. The announcement also highlights coordination: funded projects are expected to promote collaboration among community-based organizations, health departments, and private agencies so prevention and care efforts are not fragmented and can more effectively serve the target communities.
Awards were intended to support on-the-ground implementation in locations with the greatest documented need. Eligibility was restricted to organizations located in, and providing services within, specified Eligible Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs). These MSAs were selected based on having the highest numbers of cumulative AIDS diagnoses among men who have sex with men of color reported during the 2004-2008 period, using 2008 data on people living with AIDS diagnoses. The listed MSAs cover many major urban areas across the United States and Puerto Rico, including places such as Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Washington, DC, and San Juan, among others. By limiting competition to these MSAs, CDC aimed to concentrate resources where the burden was highest and where scaling community-based prevention and linkage strategies could have the strongest impact.
The funding mechanics show a sizable investment. CDC anticipated making about 30 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between an award floor of $250,000 and an award ceiling of $600,000. The assistance listing (CFDA) number provided is 93.939 (HIV Prevention Activities, Non-Governmental Organization Based). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces financial barriers for nonprofits and community organizations that may not have large unrestricted budgets.
Eligible applicants were primarily nonprofit and community-trusted entities: nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), community-based organizations, public and private nonprofits, faith-based organizations, and tribal organizations, including federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal entities. The rationale stated in the opportunity is that CBOs and nonprofits are often best positioned to engage people living with HIV and those at high risk, particularly individuals who are hard to reach or who have historically been excluded from mainstream interventions due to stigma, discrimination, or lack of culturally appropriate services. In practical terms, the program is designed to fund organizations with credibility and access in the communities most affected, and to support them in delivering interventions and building partnerships that strengthen prevention and care systems.
Key dates in the announcement reflect a 2011 cycle that has since closed and is archived. The opportunity was posted March 21, 2011, with a letter of intent deadline of April 4, 2011 at 5:00 pm Eastern, and an application deadline of May 17, 2011 at 5:00 pm Eastern. The archive date is June 16, 2011.
