Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA PS19 1906
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through the Department of Health and Human Services and its National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), released this discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled Strategic Partnerships and Planning to Support Ending the HIV Epidemic in the United States (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS19-1906). The overall intent is to strengthen the people, partnerships, and planning infrastructure needed to accelerate progress toward national HIV prevention goals and to support the federal Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) effort across the United States and its territories. At its core, the opportunity is designed to make sure the public health workforce and the organizations responsible for HIV prevention and care have the coordination, technical capacity, and communication pathways needed to plan effectively and work in a more integrated way.
The opportunity has two major components. Component A focuses on building national-level capacity by funding a national organization that represents state, local, and territorial HIV program staff. The CDC is looking for an entity that can serve as a connective hub for the HIV public health workforce, helping strengthen operational capacity and improve how programs function across jurisdictions. The expectation is that this national partner will support integrated HIV programs by maintaining strong, strategic communication channels and partnerships, and by making it easier for public health agencies to coordinate with each other and with CDC. A key part of this role is facilitating policy analysis and interpretation, then translating that information into practical guidance for health departments and partners. Component A also emphasizes active two-way communication and consultation among CDCs Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention (DHAP), DHAP-funded health departments, community-based organizations (CBOs), and other relevant entities, so that information flows quickly, consistently, and in a way that supports real-world decision-making.
Component B targets on-the-ground planning in EHE Phase 1 jurisdictions. Under this component, CDC funds health departments that are responsible for jurisdictions included in the EHE Phase 1 footprint (as identified in the referenced list of counties and territories). The purpose here is to support a rapid planning process that engages local communities and the existing HIV planning ecosystem. That means bringing together community members, HIV planning bodies, HIV prevention and care providers, and other partners to align resources and activities and to produce a jurisdiction-specific EHE plan. The emphasis is not simply on producing a document, but on conducting a collaborative planning process that improves coordination between prevention and care, clarifies local priorities, and positions the jurisdiction to move into implementation activities aligned with Phase 1 of the EHE initiative.
Structurally, this is a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expects substantial involvement beyond issuing funds, such as providing ongoing guidance, collaboration, and technical input. The eligible applicant pool includes state governments, county governments, city or township governments, and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The funding activity category is Health, and the associated CFDA numbers are 93.118 and 93.940. The opportunity was created on June 12, 2019, with an original closing date of July 12, 2019, and applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The listing notes an expected 33 awards, while the award ceiling is shown as 0 in the source data, which typically indicates the ceiling was either not specified in that field or provided elsewhere in the full announcement.
In practical terms, this opportunity is about strengthening the national coordination backbone for HIV public health programs while also jump-starting fast, inclusive planning in the jurisdictions prioritized under EHE Phase 1. Component A is aimed at improving workforce support, communications, partnership development, and policy interpretation across the broader HIV prevention system. Component B is aimed at helping specific health departments quickly convene partners and communities to align prevention and care efforts and develop actionable local EHE plans that set the stage for subsequent implementation work.Apply for CDC RFA PS19 1906
