Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Promoting Adolescent Health through School Based HIV/STD Prevention and School Based Surveillance" is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement run through the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention, specifically the Division of Adolescent and School Health. The focus is on improving adolescent health by strengthening HIV and sexually transmitted disease (STD) prevention efforts in school settings and by supporting school-based surveillance activities that track youth health behaviors and related outcomes. In practical terms, this type of funding is aimed at helping education and public health partners use schools as a key venue for prevention, early risk reduction, and data-driven decision-making, with the broader goal of reducing HIV/STD risk among adolescents and improving the systems that monitor relevant youth health indicators.

This announcement was released as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism. A cooperative agreement generally means CDC expects to have substantial involvement with recipients compared to a standard grant, often through technical assistance, collaboration on implementation approaches, shared planning, and ongoing performance monitoring. The funding activity category is health, and the CFDA listing associated with it is 93.079, described as cooperative agreements to promote adolescent health through school-based HIV/STD prevention and school-based surveillance. The opportunity posted and opened on January 20, 2015, with an application due date of April 1, 2015, and an archive date of May 1, 2015. The announcement lists an expected 81 awards, indicating a relatively broad set of funded recipients.

Eligibility for this continuation opportunity was restricted. The eligible applicants were not open to the general public or new applicants; instead, eligibility was limited to previous awardees under the earlier funding opportunity PS13-1308. That framing strongly suggests this notice functioned as a continuation or renewal action for jurisdictions or organizations already participating in the CDC program, rather than a new competitive solicitation. The listing also specifies there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients were not required to contribute a set percentage of non-federal funds as a condition of award.

While the summary information provided does not include line-item program requirements, the title and sponsoring CDC division indicate two core pillars: school-based HIV/STD prevention and school-based surveillance. School-based HIV/STD prevention typically involves supporting policies, practices, and programs that reduce sexual risk behaviors and increase protective behaviors among students. Depending on the underlying program design, that can include strengthening health education aligned to evidence-based standards, improving access to sexual health information and prevention resources through school and community linkages, training and support for educators or school staff, and building referral connections between schools and youth-friendly clinical services for HIV/STD testing and treatment. The surveillance component generally refers to systematic collection and use of data to understand student behaviors and related health outcomes, often to identify disparities, track trends over time, and guide improvements in programming. In CDC school health work, this commonly aligns with instruments like the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System (YRBSS) and other school health profiles or surveys, though the specific surveillance systems supported would be spelled out in the full announcement.

The funding opportunity record shows estimated total funding, award ceiling, and award floor as 0, which typically means those fields were not populated in the summary record rather than indicating no funding was available. The key practical details for applicants in 2015 would have been the continuation-only eligibility, the cooperative agreement structure with CDC involvement, and the dual emphasis on implementing prevention strategies in schools while also generating and using surveillance data to target and improve efforts.

For access issues or questions, CDC directed applicants to contact the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO) by phone at 770-488-2700 or by email at pgotim@cdc.gov, specifically noting assistance if the full announcement could not be accessed electronically.
