Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA PS15 151103CONT17
The grant opportunity titled "Evaluation of STD Programs' Deployment of DIS to Improve HIV Outcomes" (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA PS15-151103CONT17) is a continuation funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through NCHHSTP. It uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which typically means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as collaborating on evaluation design, performance measures, technical assistance, and dissemination of findings. The activity category is health, and it is listed under CFDA 93.977, which aligns with programs that support prevention and control efforts related to HIV, viral hepatitis, sexually transmitted infections, and tuberculosis.
The purpose of the opportunity is to support an evaluation focused on how sexually transmitted disease (STD) programs deploy Disease Intervention Specialists (DIS) and how that deployment can improve HIV-related outcomes. In practice, DIS are frontline public health professionals commonly associated with partner services, case investigation, linkage to testing and treatment, and ensuring people exposed to STDs or HIV receive timely services. This opportunity is therefore centered on assessing strategies for using DIS resources in ways that strengthen HIV prevention and care outcomes, such as improving HIV testing among people at risk, increasing linkage to HIV medical care after diagnosis, supporting re-engagement for people who have fallen out of care, improving partner notification outcomes, and reducing time from diagnosis to treatment initiation where applicable. Because the title highlights "deployment," the evaluation emphasis is not just on whether DIS activities work, but how staffing models, prioritization rules, workflows, and coordination with HIV programs affect measurable results.
It is categorized as a continuation opportunity, indicating it was intended to extend or build upon existing work rather than launch an entirely new, open competition. The eligibility field is listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which usually signals that eligibility may be limited to specific recipients, jurisdictions, or organizations already participating in a related CDC-funded program or prior project period. The expected number of awards is 10, suggesting the CDC anticipated supporting multiple recipients, potentially across different state or local health department STD programs or partner organizations, to generate evaluation findings across varied settings and implementation approaches.
The notice shows a creation date of February 16, 2017, and an original closing date of June 15, 2017. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which generally means the specific maximum award amount was not provided in the summary data and would normally be detailed in the full announcement or determined through continuation budget negotiations. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as CDC support for structured evaluation work that helps the public health system learn which DIS deployment approaches most effectively improve HIV outcomes when STD and HIV prevention activities are integrated or closely coordinated.Apply for CDC RFA PS15 151103CONT17
