Opportunity Summary:
The National Network of Sexually Transmitted Diseases Clinical Prevention Training Centers (NNPTC) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS14-1407) is a CDC cooperative agreement designed to build a coordinated, nationwide training infrastructure focused on improving the prevention, screening, diagnosis, and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases. The award period is 4 years and 7 months, and the program is structured to stand up a network of centers of excellence that can deliver consistent, evidence-based clinical prevention training across the United States. The central idea is that better trained clinicians and stronger clinical systems will translate into higher-quality STD care and, over time, a measurable reduction in STD burden at the population level.
Under this FOA, CDC planned to support up to 14 total awards, organized into two components: up to eight regional centers (Component A) and up to six national centers (Component B). While the detailed scope for each component would be spelled out in the full announcement, the overall intent is clear: regional centers are positioned to deliver training and technical assistance tailored to regional needs and service delivery realities, while national centers are positioned to develop and disseminate high-impact training products, specialty expertise, and broad-reaching assistance that can be used across regions. Together, these centers form a single national network rather than isolated training programs, with an emphasis on coordination, dissemination, and shared standards.
The program is explicitly grounded in the current CDC STD treatment guidelines, and it is meant to stay responsive to changing epidemiologic trends and scientific advances. In practical terms, that means training content is expected to cover the full clinical prevention spectrum, including screening practices, recommended treatment regimens, partner services considerations, prevention counseling approaches, and other clinical and systems-level practices that align with CDC guidance. The FOA also highlights evaluation as a core expectation: the training centers are not only expected to deliver education and training assistance, but also to assess training reach, quality, and impact, using evaluation to improve training approaches and document outcomes.
A key feature of this opportunity is its focus on improvement at multiple levels of the healthcare landscape. It is not limited to individual clinician education, although that is a major piece. It also targets clinical organizations (such as clinics and health centers) and broader healthcare systems, reflecting the reality that STD outcomes are shaped by workflows, staffing models, referral networks, testing and treatment protocols, and quality improvement processes. By supporting training and training assistance that can influence provider behavior as well as organizational practices, the program aims to strengthen STD care delivery in a sustained way.
Administratively, this was a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning recipients should expect substantial programmatic involvement from CDC compared to a standard grant. The activity category is health, and the CFDA listing is 93.977 (Preventive Health Services - Sexually Transmitted Diseases Control Grants). The estimated total funding was $16,500,000, with individual awards ranging from a floor of $100,000 to a ceiling of $1,000,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for applicants that may not have non-federal funds available for match.
Eligibility was broad and included a wide range of governmental and non-governmental entities. Eligible applicants included state, local, and territorial governments and their bona fide agents; state-controlled institutions of higher education; federally or state-recognized American Indian or Alaska Native tribal governments; and public/Indian housing authorities. Non-government entities could also apply, including tribally designated organizations, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), private colleges and universities, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and small businesses. This wide eligibility suggests CDC was seeking to attract strong clinical training, academic, public health, and practice-based partners capable of delivering and scaling clinician-focused training and technical assistance.
The timeline for the opportunity was as follows: it was posted and created on January 31, 2014, with a letter of intent deadline of April 1, 2014. The application deadline was May 6, 2014 at 11:59 p.m. U.S. Eastern time through Grants.gov. CDC also offered an informational conference call for potential applicants on February 27, 2014, with information hosted through the CDC STD training webinar page. The opportunity archived on June 5, 2014, indicating it is no longer open, but the summary details remain useful for understanding the program model and requirements.
