Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA PS 24 0003
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through NCHHSTP, is offering a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Support and Scale Up of HIV Prevention Services in Sexual Health Clinics" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS 24 0003; CFDA 93.977). The core goal is to advance the national Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S. (EHE) initiative by expanding and strengthening HIV prevention and HIV care services specifically within sexual health clinic settings. The opportunity is built around the idea that sexual health clinics are key access points for people at higher risk for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and that improving what these clinics can deliver has a direct impact on HIV transmission, earlier diagnosis, and faster linkage to care.
The NOFO emphasizes two major outcomes recipients are expected to drive. First, funded organizations must strengthen clinic infrastructure and improve service delivery in ways that address the interconnected "syndemic" of HIV and other STIs, meaning the way these conditions overlap, reinforce risk, and create compounded health impacts in the same communities. In practice, this points to clinics improving their operational capacity and clinical workflows to deliver more comprehensive prevention and care services, and to do so in a way that better integrates HIV and STI services rather than treating them as separate tracks. Second, recipients are expected to foster strategic partnerships that support EHE, which typically means building durable collaborations across public health agencies, community-based organizations, healthcare systems, and other partners who can help increase reach, improve referral pathways, and close gaps in prevention and care.
Eligibility is broad across public and nonprofit sectors but explicitly excludes for-profit entities due to the underlying statutory authority. The NOFO cites Sections 317 and 318 of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, which authorize awards to states, political subdivisions of states, and other public and nonprofit private entities, but do not authorize awards to for-profit organizations. Eligible applicants listed include state, county, and city/township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments; certain tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in those nonprofit categories). The opportunity anticipates making about 20 awards, and the posted award ceiling is listed as 0, which generally indicates the ceiling is not specified in the synopsis and applicants need to rely on the full NOFO for detailed budget guidance.
A key application gatekeeping requirement is that applicants must include both Strategies A and B in their application. The NOFO is explicit that any applicant that does not include Strategies A and B will be deemed non-responsive and will not be reviewed at all, so this is not a minor compliance detail; it is a threshold requirement that determines whether the application moves forward to review. In addition, there is a specific disclosure requirement for applicants connected to another CDC funding stream: applicants funded under Component C of PS20-2010 must clearly state whether they are recipients or sub-recipients of Component C funding, and must also state whether the activities they are proposing will occur in a Component C-funded clinic. This is meant to clarify overlap, alignment, and the context of the clinic sites involved, and likely helps CDC assess coordination and avoid duplication while leveraging existing investments.
To verify eligibility and compliance with these requirements, applicants are expected to upload a separate document confirming three things: (1) that the application includes Strategies A and B, (2) whether the applicant is a recipient or sub-recipient of PS20-2010 Component C funding, and (3) whether the proposed activities will take place in a Component C clinic. The NOFO instructs applicants to name this file "Eligibility Verification" and upload it as a PDF with the application submission through Grants.gov. The original closing date listed for submission was 2024-01-16, and the opportunity record shows a creation date of 2023-11-01, indicating the timeline for when the solicitation was posted and when applications were due.
Overall, this grant opportunity is designed to help sexual health clinics scale up the practical, on-the-ground delivery of HIV prevention and care in direct support of EHE, while also improving clinic systems to respond to HIV and STI co-occurrence and formalizing partnerships that increase access, continuity, and public health impact. The cooperative agreement structure also signals that CDC expects substantial involvement in the funded work (for example through technical assistance, collaboration on implementation approaches, or monitoring), beyond what is typical in a standard grant.Apply for CDC RFA PS 24 0003
