Since 1988, CDC has provided funds to organizations to assist in building the capacity of funded grantees (including state and local health departments and community-based organizations) in implementing HIV prevention programs . The new CBA program announcement, PS09-906, “Capacity Building Assistance (CBA) to Improve the Delivery and Effectiveness of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Prevention Services for High-risk and/or Racial/Ethnic Minority Populations,” focuses on providing funding to improve the capacity of individuals, organizations, and communities in the delivery and effectiveness of evidence-based interventions and core public health strategies for HIV prevention. The new CBA program is a 4.5-year, $110 million cooperative agreement. A total of 30 organizations were funded under the new CBA program announcement.
