Executive Summary

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is committed to working with public health systems, hospitals, and healthcare providers to ensure that planners, developers, and implementers of public health initiatives possess the skills and resources needed to better address HIV in the U.S. and its territories. CDC announces the availability of fiscal year 2019 funds for a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to support CDC human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) related policies and programs. This program will support strategic partnerships, communication, peer-to-peer technical assistance (TA), and jurisdictional planning efforts to address emerging needs of targeted jurisdictions through CDC-funded state and local health departments and their ability to end the HIV epidemic in the U.S. Despite many treatment and prevention advances, reducing HIV infections and improving health outcome for people with HIV in the U.S. remains a challenge. In February 2019, the Ending the HIV Epidemic in America was announced (initiative). The initiative will leverage powerful data, tools and resources to reduce all new HIV infections by 75% during the first 5 years of the initiative and by 90% in 10 years.
