Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA PS18 1807
The grant opportunity titled "Promoting Adolescent Health through School-Based HIV Prevention" (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA PS18-1807) is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically through NCHHSTP. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning recipients are expected to work in close partnership with CDC and carry out program activities aligned with CDC guidance and expectations. The overall project period spans 5 years, broken into 12-month budget periods, with an anticipated award start date of August 1, 2018. Applications were originally due April 13, 2018, with electronic submissions required by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date.
At its core, the program is designed to strengthen school-based efforts that prevent HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) among adolescents, while also directly addressing inequities in infection risk. The NOFO supports education agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in helping school districts and individual schools build and maintain sustainable prevention programs. The two primary goals are: first, to reduce HIV infections and other STDs among middle and high school students; and second, to reduce disparities in HIV/STD risk across student populations, recognizing that certain groups experience higher burden due to social, structural, and access-related factors.
Funded recipients are expected to focus on approaches that have evidence behind them and that can be maintained over time. A major emphasis is placed on collecting and using high-quality surveillance and related data to understand local needs, track trends, and guide decision-making. Awardees are also expected to implement effective prevention practices in schools, which typically includes strengthening health education, improving access to sexual health information and services through appropriate school and community linkages, and building the capacity of districts and schools to deliver interventions consistently. In addition to implementing established best practices, recipients are encouraged to demonstrate, test, and evaluate innovative strategies within their jurisdictions, with the idea that programs should not only deliver services but also learn what works best in different school settings and populations.
Eligibility for this funding is broad and includes many types of public and nonprofit entities that can influence or support school health programming. Eligible applicants include state, county, city, township, and special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled colleges and universities; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations; and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education for the nonprofit category). This wide eligibility reflects the reality that school-based HIV/STD prevention often requires collaboration between education systems, public health agencies, community organizations, and research or training partners.
The expected scale of the program is substantial. CDC anticipated making approximately 135 awards, with an award ceiling of $350,000. Overall, the opportunity is aimed at improving adolescent health outcomes by helping jurisdictions use data-driven planning, implement proven prevention strategies in middle and high schools, and evaluate new approaches that can be scaled or sustained, with an explicit focus on reducing unequal HIV/STD risks among students.Apply for CDC RFA PS18 1807
