Opportunity Summary:

The National Network to Enhance Capacity of State and Local Sexually Transmitted Disease Prevention Programs (NNECS) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS13 130903CONT15) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continuation cooperative agreement focused on strengthening the ability of state and local sexually transmitted disease (STD) prevention programs to carry out effective prevention and control activities. It sits within the health funding activity category and is tied to CFDA 93.977, Preventive Health Services - Sexually Transmitted Diseases Control Grants. In practical terms, the opportunity supports an organized national effort, referred to as a "network," intended to build and enhance capacity across jurisdictions so that STD programs can improve performance, consistency, and impact. Because it is structured as a cooperative agreement, the CDC is expected to have substantial involvement in the funded work compared with a standard grant, typically through collaboration on priorities, technical direction, and alignment with national program goals.

This particular posting is not an open competition. It is explicitly described as a continuation award and is restricted to organizations that were previously funded under the same funding opportunity number. The eligibility language makes clear that only prior grantees under CDC RFA PS13 130903CONT15 may receive these continuation funds, and the listing of "Eligible Applicants: Others (see text)" reflects that the pool is defined by prior award status rather than by broad applicant categories. The opportunity anticipated up to 20 awards, indicating that multiple existing recipients were expected to continue under this mechanism.

Key administrative details show it was posted and created on March 26, 2015, with an original and current closing date of May 7, 2015, and an archive date of June 6, 2015. The listing indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients were not required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award. The funding fields for estimated total funding, award ceiling, and award floor are listed as 0, which in grant postings often signals that amounts were not being publicly specified in the announcement record itself, were handled through continuation budgeting processes, or were otherwise not captured in the summary fields.

For applicants or recipients needing help accessing the full announcement or related materials, the contact point provided is the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO). The notice lists the email pgotim@cdc.gov and phone number 770-488-2700 as support channels.
