For complete program details, please see the full announcement on the CDC website at www.cdc.gov/od/pgo/funding/FOAs.htm. Application deadline is March 23, 2006. The estimated funding date is August 31, 2006.
Additional Information on Eligibility:
• Public organizations • Private organizations • Universities • Colleges • Faith-based organizations • Federally recognized Indian tribal governments • Indian tribal organizations All CBA services must be provided free of charge and not limit access based on capacity to pay for all or any part of the available services. In addition, eligible applicants are expected to demonstrate significant experience and expertise providing CBA services to CBA consumers serving individuals with known HIV-positive serostatus and partners. This expertise is necessary for the grantee to effectively and efficiently complete all the activities described in the program announcement and provide CBA to their consumers (HDs, CBOs including FBOs, and other community stakeholders.) These criteria would only preclude eligibility to those whose primary purpose is something other than to provide comprehensive training and technical assistance or to develop and diffuse national testing strategies.
