Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA PS 16 00302CONT17
This funding opportunity is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement focused on evaluating locally developed or locally adapted "homegrown" combination HIV prevention interventions designed for transgender persons who have sex with men. In practical terms, it is aimed at supporting real-world prevention approaches that communities have already created or tailored to fit local needs, and then rigorously assessing how well those approaches work. The emphasis on "combination" prevention signals that CDC is interested in interventions that do not rely on just one tactic (for example, only counseling or only testing), but instead integrate multiple, reinforcing components that can collectively reduce HIV risk and improve prevention outcomes for the population of interest.
The opportunity is listed as a continuation announcement (Funding Opportunity Number RFA PS 16 00302CONT17), which typically indicates it is part of an ongoing program or prior funding initiative rather than a brand-new standalone solicitation. Awards are to be made through a cooperative agreement, meaning recipients should expect substantial involvement from CDC beyond what is typical for a standard grant. Cooperative agreements often include federal project officer participation in planning, technical assistance, performance monitoring, and coordination with broader CDC program goals. Applicants should plan for an interactive relationship where CDC may help shape evaluation approaches, align measures, and ensure lessons learned can be translated into broader public health practice.
The administering agency is the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), with the opportunity routed through the CDC ERA (electronic research administration) environment. The activity category is Health, and the listing is associated with CFDA number 93.084, which corresponds to CDC HIV-related prevention and surveillance assistance programs. The expected number of awards is 10, suggesting CDC anticipated funding multiple projects in different settings, likely to capture variation across local contexts and intervention models and to build a broader evidence base for what works for transgender persons who have sex with men.
Eligibility is described broadly as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)." That phrasing usually means eligibility is not limited strictly to one applicant type (such as only state health departments or only universities) and may include a wider set of organizations such as community-based organizations, nonprofit service providers, academic institutions, and other entities capable of implementing and evaluating interventions. In many CDC HIV prevention opportunities with similar language, emphasis is often placed on applicants with strong community connections and the ability to reach and engage priority populations in culturally responsive, affirming ways, combined with the technical capacity to conduct credible evaluation.
Key timing details in the source data include a creation date of February 24, 2017, and an original closing date of April 24, 2017. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which generally means the notice did not specify a maximum award amount in the summary fields (or that funding levels were to be determined by CDC based on available appropriations, project scope, or continuation parameters). Even when a ceiling is not provided, applicants typically must propose budgets that are reasonable, well-justified, and aligned with the intensity of the planned intervention and evaluation activities.
Overall, the core purpose of this opportunity is to strengthen HIV prevention for transgender persons who have sex with men by taking interventions that already exist in communities, or that have been adapted locally, and subjecting them to systematic evaluation. The intended outcome is not only to support service delivery, but to generate actionable evidence about effectiveness, implementation feasibility, and potential for replication or scale-up. Because this is a cooperative agreement, applicants should anticipate CDC engagement in setting evaluation standards, promoting high-quality data collection and analysis, and ensuring that results contribute to broader CDC prevention priorities and public health learning.Apply for RFA PS 16 00302CONT17
