Opportunity Summary:
This CDC funding opportunity (CDC RFA PS10-10162) supports a single, large demonstration project focused on improving infectious disease prevention and care in a city or county jail setting. The core idea is to build and evaluate an integrated, routine, opt-out health service model inside a jail that combines three major components: rapid HIV testing, screening for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and hepatitis-related services, specifically Hepatitis B vaccination, with strong systems for linking people who test positive (or otherwise need care) to follow-up prevention, medical care, and treatment after screening. The grant is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the CDC expects to be actively involved with the awardee in planning, implementation, and evaluation rather than simply providing funds and stepping back.
The program is framed around the reality that jails can be a critical point of contact for people who may have limited access to healthcare in the community and may not otherwise receive timely testing, vaccination, or treatment. By making testing "routine" and "opt-out," the model aims to normalize screening as a standard part of jail health services, reduce stigma, and increase participation compared to programs that rely on people proactively requesting tests. The emphasis is not only on conducting tests and delivering vaccines, but also on building a comprehensive workflow that can function in a jail environment where intake, short lengths of stay, rapid releases, and transfers often disrupt continuity of care. Because of these operational challenges, the linkage-to-care element is central: screening has limited public health impact if people who are diagnosed cannot be connected quickly to confirmatory testing (when applicable), clinical evaluation, treatment, partner services, and ongoing prevention support.
The opportunity is explicitly aligned with Healthy People 2010 focus areas, especially access to quality health services, HIV, immunization and infectious diseases, and sexually transmitted diseases. It also ties outcomes to performance goals from the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP). Those target outcomes include decreasing HIV transmission by people living with HIV, increasing the share of people with HIV who know their status, increasing the share of people with HIV who are linked to prevention and care services, reducing viral hepatitis rates, and reducing rates of non-HIV STDs. In practice, an applicant would be expected to design an approach that can produce measurable results in at least one of these areas, such as demonstrating increased testing uptake, higher diagnosis awareness, improved linkage-to-care timelines, increased vaccination coverage, or reductions in missed opportunities for STI detection and treatment.
Financially, the total estimated funding is $980,000, with a ceiling of $980,000 and no required cost sharing or matching. The CDC expected to make one award, meaning this was a competitive opportunity where one recipient would be selected to implement and evaluate the model. The posting date was April 23, 2010, with an original and final closing date of June 23, 2010, and the program was archived July 23, 2010. The CFDA number listed is 93.241 (State Rural Hospital Flexibility Program), which appears in the source record even though the project description is clearly centered on HIV/STI/hepatitis services in jail settings; applicants would generally rely on the full announcement details to reconcile administrative listings like CFDA with the actual program content and reporting requirements.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of organizations that could realistically run a jail-based public health initiative and its evaluation. Eligible applicants include nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations (excluding small businesses in that specific category listing), small/minority/women-owned businesses, universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and multiple tribal entities (including federally or state recognized tribes, tribally designated organizations, Alaska Native health corporations, Urban Indian health organizations, and Tribal Epidemiology Centers). State and local governments, U.S. territories, and political subdivisions can apply, and the announcement also allows a "Bona Fide Agent" arrangement where an agency or organization applies on behalf of a state or local government. If applying as a bona fide agent, the applicant must include documentation (a letter from the relevant government) confirming that status when submitting through Grants.gov.
Operationally, the grant focuses on both development and programmatic evaluation, which signals that CDC was not only looking for service delivery but also for evidence about how well the integrated approach works in a real jail setting. That generally implies collecting and analyzing process and outcome data such as how many individuals were offered testing, how many accepted under opt-out procedures, how quickly results were delivered, how many received STI screening and treatment, how many started or completed Hepatitis B vaccination schedules (especially challenging with short jail stays), and what proportion of people with positive results were successfully connected to external providers upon release. Strong applicants would typically propose partnerships among jail health services, local health departments, community clinics, HIV/STD/hepatitis treatment providers, and reentry or case management organizations to make linkage and continuity of care realistic rather than theoretical.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is CDC RFA PS10-10162 about?
CDC RFA PS10-10162 supports a single, large demonstration project in a city or county jail. The project’s purpose is to build and evaluate an integrated, routine, opt-out health service model that combines rapid HIV testing, sexually transmitted infection (STI) screening, and hepatitis-related services (specifically Hepatitis B vaccination), along with strong linkage-to-care systems for people who need follow-up prevention, medical care, or treatment.
What is the main goal of this funding opportunity?
The main goal is to improve infectious disease prevention and care in a jail setting by making screening and preventive services routine and integrated, and by ensuring that people who test positive (or otherwise need services) are connected to appropriate follow-up care both during incarceration and after release.
How many awards did CDC expect to make?
CDC expected to make one award.
How much funding is available?
The total estimated funding amount is $980,000. The funding ceiling is also $980,000.
Is cost sharing or matching required?
No cost sharing or matching is required for this opportunity.
What type of award is this?
This is a cooperative agreement. That typically means CDC anticipates being actively involved with the awardee in planning, implementation, and evaluation, rather than only providing funding with minimal involvement.
What does “routine, opt-out” mean in this context?
The model is intended to make HIV testing, STI screening, and related hepatitis services a standard part of jail health services. “Opt-out” means services are offered routinely and individuals are included unless they decline, which is intended to normalize screening, reduce stigma, and increase participation compared to programs that rely on people requesting testing.
Which health services are expected to be integrated into the jail model?
The integrated model combines three major components: rapid HIV testing, screening for STIs, and hepatitis-related services focused on Hepatitis B vaccination. The model also emphasizes systems for linking individuals to follow-up prevention and care after screening.
Is the program only about testing, or does it include follow-up care?
It includes both. The opportunity emphasizes that screening alone has limited impact unless people who are diagnosed (or who need care) are connected quickly to confirmatory testing when applicable, clinical evaluation, treatment, partner services, and ongoing prevention support, including after release.
Why does the opportunity focus on jails specifically?
The program is framed around the idea that jails can be a critical point of contact for people who may have limited access to healthcare in the community. Because of that, jail intake and custody can be an opportunity to provide testing, vaccination, and referrals that might not otherwise happen in time.
What jail operational challenges does the model need to address?
The announcement highlights common jail challenges such as short lengths of stay, rapid releases, and transfers, which can disrupt continuity of care. The model is expected to build workflows and linkage systems that function realistically in that environment.
What kinds of outcomes or results is CDC aiming for?
The opportunity ties to performance goals associated with the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP). Target outcomes mentioned include decreasing HIV transmission by people living with HIV, increasing the share of people with HIV who know their status, increasing the share linked to prevention and care services, reducing viral hepatitis rates, and reducing rates of non-HIV STDs.
What are examples of measurable results an applicant might propose?
Examples mentioned or implied include increased testing uptake under opt-out procedures, improved awareness of HIV status, faster linkage-to-care timelines after diagnosis, increased Hepatitis B vaccination coverage, improved STI detection and treatment, and reductions in missed opportunities for screening and care in the jail workflow.
Does the opportunity require evaluation, or is it mainly service delivery?
It explicitly focuses on both development and programmatic evaluation. This suggests CDC was looking for a project that not only delivers services but also produces evidence about how well the integrated approach works in a real jail setting.
What types of data might be collected for evaluation?
The description suggests collecting and analyzing process and outcome data such as: how many people were offered testing; how many accepted under opt-out procedures; how quickly results were delivered; how many received STI screening and treatment; how many started or completed Hepatitis B vaccination schedules; and what proportion of people with positive results were linked to external providers upon release.
Who is eligible to apply?
Eligibility is broad and includes nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations (excluding small businesses in that specific category listing), small/minority/women-owned businesses, universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and multiple tribal entities (including federally or state recognized tribes, tribally designated organizations, Alaska Native health corporations, Urban Indian health organizations, and Tribal Epidemiology Centers). State and local governments, U.S. territories, and political subdivisions are also eligible.
What is a “Bona Fide Agent” and how does it affect eligibility?
The announcement allows a “Bona Fide Agent” arrangement where an agency or organization applies on behalf of a state or local government. If applying as a bona fide agent, the applicant must include documentation (a letter from the relevant government) confirming that status when submitting through Grants.gov.
What partnerships are implied as important for this project?
While not framed as a formal requirement, the opportunity indicates that strong applicants would typically propose partnerships among jail health services, local health departments, community clinics, HIV/STD/hepatitis treatment providers, and reentry or case management organizations to support realistic linkage and continuity of care.
How is this opportunity connected to national health priorities?
It is explicitly aligned with Healthy People 2010 focus areas, especially access to quality health services, HIV, immunization and infectious diseases, and sexually transmitted diseases. It also ties intended outcomes to NCHHSTP performance goals.
What are the key dates for this opportunity?
The posting date was April 23, 2010. The original and final closing date was June 23, 2010. The program was archived on July 23, 2010.
What CFDA number is listed, and why might it look inconsistent?
The CFDA number listed in the source record is 93.241 (State Rural Hospital Flexibility Program). The project description itself is centered on HIV/STI/hepatitis services in jail settings, so applicants would typically rely on the full announcement details to reconcile administrative listings like the CFDA entry with the program’s actual content and reporting requirements.
