Supports ongoing bio-behavioral surveillance among populations disproportionately affected by HIV to inform and improve prevention programs.

--- ## Description This funding opportunity supports ongoing bio-behavioral surveillance among populations disproportionately affected by HIV in the United States. The program focuses on collecting and analyzing data regarding behavioral risk factors (such as sexual behaviors and drug use), HIV testing behaviors, use of prevention strategies (e.g., condoms, PrEP), and receipt of prevention services. All participants will be offered HIV testing and linked to appropriate prevention or care services as needed. Data generated from this surveillance will be used to evaluate and guide both local and national HIV prevention programs, assess trends in risk behaviors, and identify gaps in the provision or access to HIV prevention services. The findings are intended to inform tailored testing, response, treatment, and other prevention efforts. --- ## Due Dates - September 2026 (anticipated/projected full application deadline) *All dates are projected based on the annual cycle; check the program page for updates.* --- ## Funding Amount - Estimated total program funding: $73,956,220 - Approximately 20 awards anticipated - Award ceiling and floor are not specified in the forecast - Funding instrument: Cooperative Agreement --- ## Eligibility Eligible applicants include: - State governments - County governments - City or township governments - District of Columbia government - Territorial governments or their bona fide agents in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau - Bona fide agents applying on behalf of state, territorial, and local government organizations **Additional requirements:** - Applicants must have public health authority and/or legislative mandate to conduct HIV surveillance activities (including demographic data, transmission categories, and HIV test results) - Organizations must demonstrate experience, capacity, expertise, and resources to carry out comprehensive HIV behavioral surveillance --- ## Application Process - Applications are anticipated to be submitted electronically via [Grants.gov](https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/361918). - Detailed instructions and official application packages will be made available closer to the anticipated due date. - No cost sharing or matching is required. --- ## Additional Information - This is a forecasted opportunity; details, including deadlines and requirements, may change upon official release. - The program aims to support public health infrastructure and inform evidence-based HIV prevention strategies, especially for vulnerable and high-risk populations. --- ## External Links - [Funder Program Page (CDC NCHHSTP)](https://www.cdc.gov/nchhstp) - [Forecasted Grant Listing on Grants.gov](https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/361918) --- ## Contact Information | Name | Email | Phone | |--------------|----------------------|---------------| | Kathryn Lee | nhbs@cdc.gov | 404-639-6110 | | CDC General | nofoinfo@cdc.gov | (800)-232-4636| For general inquiries, use the [CDC contact form](https://www.cdc.gov/cdc-info/forms/contact-us.html).
