Description
This opportunity, administered by the CDC's National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP), funds programs to track, prevent, and control sexually transmitted infections (STIs)—specifically syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia—across state, district, territorial, and select city or county health departments. The program aligns with the Sexually Transmitted Infections National Strategic Plan, aiming to prevent new infections, reduce adverse outcomes, accelerate adoption of prevention technologies, and address STI disparities in disproportionately impacted populations. Funded projects are expected to use local surveillance data to identify priority populations and collaborate with partners to address comorbidities and broader sexual health.
