Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced a discretionary funding opportunity (RFA PS 09 008) focused on operational research to strengthen how evidence-based HIV prevention interventions are put into practice through the Diffusion of Effective Behavioral Interventions (DEBI) project. The main idea behind the announcement is practical: many community-based organizations are already delivering evidence-based interventions (EBIs), but there are often real-world barriers that make implementation uneven across sites. This program aims to generate and test strategies that directly improve day-to-day delivery, fidelity, and overall effectiveness of those EBIs in the field, so local HIV prevention organizations can run stronger programs and achieve better outcomes in their communities.
Funding under this opportunity was planned for fiscal year 2009, with an estimated total of about $350,000 to support roughly two awards. Each award could be as much as $175,000. The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expects substantial involvement beyond simply issuing funds, such as providing technical guidance, collaboration, or oversight as projects are carried out. The activity category is health, and the funding aligns with CFDA 93.941 (HIV Demonstration, Research, Public and Professional Education Projects). There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, which lowers the financial barrier for eligible applicants.
Eligibility was narrow and targeted. Applicants had to already be grantees under CDC Program Announcement PS06-606, specifically Sexually Transmitted Diseases/Human Immunodeficiency Virus Prevention Training Centers (PTC) Part II. In other words, this was not an open competition for any nonprofit or university; it was designed for an existing set of CDC-supported training center grantees who were positioned to conduct applied, implementation-focused research and translate findings into improved practice for community organizations delivering DEBI-supported interventions.
The timeline for the opportunity was also clearly defined. The announcement was posted on December 23, 2008, and the application deadline (original and final) was February 17, 2009. The opportunity was later archived on March 19, 2009. CDC anticipated making awards prior to September 1, 2009. Applicants were directed to the full funding opportunity announcement on CDCs Procurement and Grants Office site for complete program requirements, expectations, and application instructions.
Overall, the opportunity centered on improving implementation quality rather than developing entirely new interventions. It emphasized identifying, testing, and evaluating strategies that help community-based HIV prevention organizations deliver EBIs more consistently and effectively, then using those lessons to strengthen local HIV/AIDS prevention efforts. For access issues with the full announcement, the listed contact was CDCs Procurement and Grants Office (PGOTIM) at 770-488-2700.
