Opportunity Summary:
The Positive Health Check Evaluation Trial grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA PS 15 001) was a discretionary federal funding announcement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) focused on health, specifically within the HIV program area. It was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the CDC expected to have substantial involvement with the recipient during the project period rather than operating as a hands-off funder. The opportunity was tied to CFDA 93.941, which covers HIV demonstration, research, and public and professional education projects, placing it squarely within CDCs applied public health and implementation-focused HIV work.
This announcement anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of about $2.9 million. Individual year funding levels were structured with a relatively narrow band, with an award floor of $275,000 and an award ceiling of $300,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. Eligibility was limited to specific institutions and organizations identified in the funding opportunity announcement (referenced in Section III.1), and the public listing notes eligibility as "Others" with clarification provided in the full text.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted on December 12, 2014, with a creation date of January 28, 2015. Applications were due by March 16, 2015 (both the original and current closing date), and the opportunity was later archived on April 15, 2015. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the CDC provided contact support through PGO TIMS at 770-488-2700 and PGOTIM@cdc.gov.
In practical terms, this funding supported an evaluation trial of Positive Health Check, indicating a focus on assessing the effectiveness of an HIV-related intervention or tool under real-world conditions, consistent with CDCs broader approach of funding demonstration and evaluation efforts that can inform public health practice. The cooperative agreement structure suggests the project was expected to align closely with CDC priorities and protocols, including coordinated planning, reporting, and likely methodological input from the agency to ensure the evaluation produced results usable for broader public health decision-making.
