Competition is limited to the above listed organizations because they are the only sources authorized by local reporting laws, rules, or regulations to collect and report cases of HIV/AIDS surveillance data in their respective jurisdictions, the entire United States, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. All eligible applicants for Component A HIV case surveillance activities will be funded. Funding will include activities that expand the uses and improve the quality of HIV surveillance data to more effectively guide public health policy and provide relevant information necessary to direct and evaluate prevention and care activities. Jurisdictions with eligible state and local (independently funded city or county) health departments must discuss how the state and local area will collaborate during the project period to ensure full implementation of HIV Surveillance activities within the jurisdictions (state and local areas). The jurisdictions should document any agreements reached in a letter of agreement (LOA), which must be submitted by both parties as part of their application. An independently funded city or county may opt not to apply if this occurs, their funding allocation will then be available to the state to provide services for that independently funded area. At a minimum, the LOA must include the following #61607Name and address of entity providing HIV Surveillance activities #61607Funding source (i.e. CDC RFA PS13 1302) #61607Scope of work (activities) to be provided (i.e., a statement of the funding requested by each eligible entity, the assignment of responsibility for geographic areas and general HIV Surveillance activities which will be covered) #61607Date agreement will be in effect #61607Signature of authorized representatives and dates.

Competition is limited to grantees currently funded under FOA PS08 802 to ensure that the HIV surveillance system covers the entire United States and its territories. The eligible health departments have jurisdiction over promulgating laws and legislations over specific states and metropolitan areas. Only entities that are legislatively charged to administer and enforce state laws, rules, or regulations pertaining to collecting, protecting, and maintaining HIV surveillance data are eligible to apply under this announcement. Additionally, for HIV Incidence Surveillance eligibility is limited to areas that have reported at last 300 annual newly diagnosed cases of HIV infection (not AIDS) in 2010. This is needed to be able to produce sufficiently precise state and national estimates with ability to stratify by subgroups, and the purpose of calculating a multi year national incidence estimate consistency of jurisdictions across years is essential. Adding or removing a currently funded jurisdiction would impact the amount of data available for the national estimate because the minimum criteria of 15 of cases with a STARHS result must be met for all years of the estimate. All State and local health departments were eligible to conduct core surveillance activities under FOA PS08 802 (FY2008 FY 2012).
