Description
This funding opportunity, administered by the Florida Department of Health (DOH), aims to advance maternal health and reduce perinatal HIV transmission across Florida. The program supports evidence-based or evidence-informed outreach, testing, linkage, and support services for pregnant women living with HIV, those at increased risk of HIV, or who face significant barriers to adequate prenatal care. Awarded projects are expected to identify and engage priority populations, connect them to prenatal and HIV-related services, and provide ongoing support to improve health outcomes for both mothers and infants. The initiative aligns with state and national HIV prevention strategies and emphasizes collaboration with local health systems and community partners.
