Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funding opportunity titled "National HIV Behavioral Surveillance For Young Men Who Have Sex With Men" is a supplemental cooperative agreement designed to expand the existing National HIV Behavioral Surveillance (NHBS) System to better track HIV-related risks among adolescents. The supplement focuses specifically on young men who have sex with men (MSM) ages 13 to 17. The overall goal is to strengthen the nation’s understanding of the HIV epidemic by collecting consistent, comparable behavioral surveillance data on a group that is often difficult to reach through traditional surveillance approaches, but is critically important to HIV prevention planning.
The supplemental program’s central purpose is to measure the prevalence of HIV risk behaviors and monitor how those behaviors change over time among young MSM. In addition to behavioral information, the program is intended to assess HIV infection in this population and, when appropriate, measure co-infections such as other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). By gathering both behavioral and related health indicators, the surveillance effort is meant to provide a clearer picture of how transmission risks may be shaped by sexual behavior patterns, prevention service access, and other contextual factors affecting adolescents.
A major practical outcome of this supplement is to help identify and refine the best sampling methods for reaching and recruiting young MSM ages 13 to 17 for surveillance. Because adolescents may not be captured well by conventional public health data systems, the CDC emphasizes learning which recruitment and sampling strategies are most effective for obtaining valid, useful data in this age group. The information generated is intended to support evaluation and improvement of HIV prevention programs and services at both national and local levels, helping jurisdictions understand gaps in prevention coverage and tailor interventions more effectively. This aligns with the CDC HIV Strategic Plan, which highlights monitoring behaviors that increase HIV risk as a core element of an integrated surveillance system.
Administratively, this opportunity is issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning awardees are expected to work closely with CDC in carrying out the surveillance activities rather than operating with minimal federal involvement. The opportunity is classified under health as the activity category, and it is associated with CFDA 93.940 (HIV Prevention Activities, Health Department Based). The announcement reflects a supplemental funding opportunity connected to the original NHBS FOA under RFA PS 11 001, which was initially posted on June 2, 2010. The supplement’s current closing date is listed as January 9, 2012, with an archive date of January 10, 2012. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
Funding details indicate an estimated total of $2,000,000 with an anticipated five awards. The stated award ceiling is $400,000, with an award floor of $0, which signals that awards could vary depending on the scope of approved work and available funds within the supplement structure.
Eligibility is highly restricted. Only the 20 jurisdictions already funded and operating NHBS activities at full capacity under PS 11 001 are eligible to apply for the supplemental award. This limitation is justified on the basis that the original NHBS awards were made through a peer review process to jurisdictions associated with high AIDS prevalence and areas where HIV infection was most concentrated, and that these sites already have the infrastructure and staffing needed to implement the supplemental surveillance quickly and consistently. The eligible applicants are the following state or local health departments: County of Los Angeles Department of Health Services; San Francisco Department of Public Health; City of Chicago Department of Public Health; New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene; Philadelphia Department of Public Health; Houston Department of Health and Human Services; California Department of Health and Human Services; Colorado Department of Health and Human Services; Washington, D.C. Department of Health and Human Services; Florida Department of Health and Human Services; Georgia Department of Health and Human Services; Louisiana Department of Health and Human Services; Massachusetts Department of Health and Human Services; Maryland Department of Health and Human Services; Michigan Department of Health and Human Services; New York State Department of Health and Human Services; New Jersey Department of Health and Human Services; Puerto Rico Department of Health and Human Services; Texas Department of Health and Human Services; and Washington State Department of Health and Human Services. Only applicants on this list can be considered, and the list is intended to encompass all sites currently receiving NHBS funds under the original PS 11 001 award.
