Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Secretarys Minority AIDS Initiative Funding for: Development, Operation, and Evaulation of an Entertainment Education Program" is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funding announcement offered as a continuation award under a cooperative agreement. It falls under the health funding activity category and is tied to CFDA number 93.940, which covers HIV Prevention Activities carried out through health department based efforts. The opportunity was posted on March 14, 2014, created on March 17, 2014, and had an application closing date of May 15, 2014, with an archive date of June 14, 2014. The CDC anticipated making around 10 awards under this continuation announcement. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated.
The purpose of the funding is focused on the continued development, operation, and evaluation of an entertainment-education program connected to HIV prevention goals, consistent with the Secretarys Minority AIDS Initiative (often abbreviated as SMAIF or SMAI). Entertainment education programs generally use culturally relevant media and storytelling approaches to deliver public health messages, reduce stigma, and influence knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to HIV prevention and care, particularly in communities that are disproportionately affected by HIV. While the announcement text provided here is brief, the title makes clear that the funded work is expected to cover not only producing and running the program (development and operation), but also assessing its performance and outcomes (evaluation), which typically includes tracking reach, engagement, and measurable impacts on HIV-related awareness or behavior.
Eligibility for this specific announcement is narrowly limited. It is not an open competition for new applicants. Instead, it is explicitly a continuation of funds intended only for organizations that were previously awarded under the earlier CDC funding opportunity CDC RFA CD12 120103CONT14, which carried the same program title. In other words, only existing grantees from that prior award cycle were eligible to apply for and receive continued support under this opportunity. The eligible applicant category is listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the clarification provided confirms the continuation-only limitation.
The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement with the recipient during the project period compared to a standard grant. In practice, this often includes collaboration on program implementation, technical assistance, alignment with CDC priorities, and ongoing monitoring and evaluation activities. The total estimated funding amount is listed as 0 in the source data, which usually indicates that the specific dollar figure was not provided in the summary record or was handled through continuation budgeting rather than a newly competed, publicly stated pool.
For assistance accessing the full announcement, the CDC points applicants to the Procurement and Grants Office (PGO). The contact information provided includes a phone number (770-488-2700) and an email address (pgotim@cdc.gov), which would have been the main point of contact for technical issues related to retrieving the full solicitation or related application materials.
