Opportunity Summary:
This CDC discretionary funding opportunity (CDC RFA PS09-947) offered cooperative agreement awards to support outcome monitoring for the Mpowerment Project (often abbreviated as MP) when it is delivered by community-based organizations (CBOs) that had already been funded under the earlier CDC Funding Opportunity Announcement PS06-618. The central idea of the announcement was not to expand eligibility broadly or start new MP sites from scratch, but to strengthen and document the results of ongoing CDC-funded MP implementation by adding structured, practical monitoring of outcomes tied to HIV prevention.
The program focused on improving the performance and accountability of CDC-funded CBOs delivering MP by measuring whether participants report changes in HIV transmission risk behaviors after taking part in Mpowerment group activities. In other words, the grant was aimed at capturing outcome information that goes beyond counting services delivered, and instead looks at whether people say their behaviors related to HIV risk are changing after engagement with the intervention. Alongside individual-level monitoring, the announcement also sought to test whether it was feasible to monitor community-level change. That community-level component was described as conducting surveys with community members to assess norms related to risk reduction, specifically norms that support safer sex. Taken together, the opportunity emphasized both near-term outcomes among program participants and broader indicators of whether safer-sex norms might be shifting in the wider community the program serves.
Funding was relatively small and targeted: an estimated total of about $500,000 to support approximately three awards. Individual awards were expected to fall between an award floor of $125,000 and an award ceiling of $200,000. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement noted. The funding instrument type was a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement or partnership from the CDC in areas such as guidance, collaboration, or oversight, rather than a more hands-off relationship associated with some other grant mechanisms.
Eligibility was restricted. Applicants had to be CBOs previously funded under CDC FOA PS06-618, meaning the competition was limited to a defined set of existing CDC-supported organizations already implementing Mpowerment under that earlier funding stream. The listing notes that interested parties should consult the full announcement on grants.gov for complete eligibility details and requirements, suggesting there were likely additional conditions or clarifications in the full text beyond the brief summary provided.
Key administrative details included a posted date of April 21, 2009, a creation date of May 1, 2009, and a closing date of June 19, 2009 (with the same date shown as both the original and current closing date). The opportunity was archived July 19, 2009. The estimated funding date was stated as prior to September 30, 2009. The activity category was Health and the CFDA number associated with the program was 93.118 (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) Activity). For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, the notice provided a CDC Procurement and Grants Office contact (PGO TIM) with a phone number (770-488-2700), indicating CDC support for access and administrative questions.
Overall, the opportunity was designed to strengthen evidence and continuous quality improvement for a specific CDC-supported HIV prevention intervention already in the field. By emphasizing monitoring of self-reported risk behavior changes among participants and exploring practical methods to assess community-level norms around safer sex, the announcement signaled CDC interest in outcome-oriented performance measurement and the real-world feasibility of tracking broader community impacts, not just program outputs.
