Opportunity Summary:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced a discretionary funding opportunity called "Reduce Hepatitis Infections by Treatment and Integrated Prevention Services (Hepatitis TIPS) among Non-urban Young Persons Who Inject Drugs" under Funding Opportunity Number RFA PS 14-004. The program is focused on reducing viral hepatitis infections by expanding treatment access and pairing that treatment with integrated prevention services for young people who inject drugs in non-urban settings. In practical terms, the aim is to intervene in communities outside major cities where injection drug use is occurring and where people often face added barriers to testing, care, and prevention services.

This award is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expects an active partnership role rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The activity category is health, and the program aligns with the CFDA listing 93.270 (Adult Viral Hepatitis Prevention and Control). The announcement anticipated making 2 awards in total. Estimated total funding across awards was $1,800,000, with individual awards expected to fall between an award floor of $250,000 and an award ceiling of $300,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.

Eligibility is broad and includes many types of U.S.-based organizations and government entities. Eligible applicants include institutions of higher education (both public/state-controlled and private), with CDC specifically encouraging applications from minority-serving institutions such as Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), and Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions. Nonprofit organizations (other than colleges and universities) are eligible, as are for-profit organizations, including small businesses. Various levels of government can apply, including state, county, city or township, special district governments, federally recognized tribal governments, and non-federally recognized tribal governments. Other eligible entities include independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, faith-based or community-based organizations, regional organizations, and certain Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized governments.

The announcement also allows applications from bona fide agents, meaning an agency or organization identified by a state as eligible to apply on the state’s behalf instead of the state submitting directly. If applying as a bona fide agent for a state or local government, the applicant must provide a legal, binding agreement from that government documenting the bona fide agent status, and that documentation must be attached with the application materials submitted through Grants.gov. Foreign organizations are explicitly not eligible, and foreign components of U.S. organizations are also not eligible. In addition, applicants may not include collaborators or consultants from foreign institutions for this particular announcement, reflecting the program’s restriction to domestic implementation and compliance with applicable federal laws and policies.

Key dates indicate the opportunity was posted and created on March 14, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 14, 2014, and an archive date of May 14, 2014. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO) via phone at 770-488-2700 or email at pgotim@cdc.gov. Overall, the grant is structured to support targeted, community-relevant approaches that combine hepatitis treatment with prevention services in non-urban areas, addressing both immediate clinical needs and the upstream conditions that drive ongoing transmission among young people who inject drugs.
