Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) through the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention, focuses on strengthening HIV treatment services by supporting the development and use of web-based and other technology-driven tools. The core purpose is to help HIV treatment service provider organizations improve three critical points along the HIV care continuum: linking newly diagnosed or newly identified HIV-positive individuals to care, keeping people consistently engaged in care over time (retention), and bringing back into care those who have fallen out of regular treatment (re-engagement). The emphasis on "evidence from science and community practice" signals that supported activities are expected to draw from established research findings as well as real-world, on-the-ground practices that have been shown to work in communities, rather than relying on untested or purely theoretical approaches.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expects to have substantial involvement with awardees beyond simply providing funds. In practice, that often includes collaboration on planning, implementation support, guidance on performance monitoring, and alignment with federal public health priorities. The opportunity is categorized under health and is tied to CFDA 93.118 (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) Activity), indicating it sits within the federal HIV program funding framework.
This specific posting is identified as a continuation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC-RFA-PS13-131103CONT15). That matters because it is not an open competition for new applicants. Eligibility is restricted to organizations that were previously funded under the same CDC announcement; in other words, only existing grantees from the earlier award cycle could apply for this continuation funding. The listing explicitly notes there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning eligible recipients would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Key administrative details include the posting date (March 27, 2015), the application open/creation timing (created March 26, 2015), and the closing date (April 27, 2015), with an archive date of May 27, 2015. The announcement mentions an expected 20 awards, although the public synopsis shows estimated total funding and award floor/ceiling values as 0, which is common in brief listings where dollar amounts are either handled within continuation budget processes, negotiated individually, or not displayed in the summary record. The overall intent, regardless of displayed amounts, is to continue supporting previously funded projects that are building or refining technology-based tools to improve HIV care engagement outcomes.
For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the contact point is CDCs Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), with an email address (pgotim@cdc.gov) and phone number (770-488-2700).
