Description
This funding opportunity, administered by the CDC's National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), is designed to support state, territorial, and selected city health departments in the prevention and control of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), with a focus on syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia.
