Executive Summary

CDC announces the availability of fiscal year 2021 funds for a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to support CDC human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention efforts as part of the Administration’s Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America (EHE) Initiative. In February 2019, HHS announced Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America (EHE). Accordingly, CDC seeks to increase HIV awareness among the general public, reduce new HIV infections, and improve health outcomes for people with HIV in the United States and its territories. This NOFO supports organizations who have the infrastructure but have not previously focused on HIV prevention, education, treatment, outreach and/or community engagement. The purpose of this NOFO is 1) to support the dissemination of CDC’s Let’s Stop HIV Together (Together) campaign via the use of digital and social media platforms and 2) disseminate Together campaign materials, messaging, and other CDC resources that support HIV prevention at in- person and virtual events. This program will support organizations to expand the reach and dissemination of Together campaign resources using a variety of vehicles including publications, meetings, conferences, media (digital and social), and other mechanisms. Recipients will prioritize health communication and mobilization efforts among populations highly impacted by HIV and in the highest burden jurisdictions.

Purpose

The purpose of this NOFO is to disseminate HIV communication resources via digital and social media channels and at events. These resources are derived specifically from CDC’s Let’s Stop HIV Together campaign. CDC seeks to increase HIV awareness, reduce new HIV infections among priority populations, and improve health outcomes for people with HIV in the United States and its territories. These efforts should focus on areas where the HIV epidemic is most prevalent and new infections are taking place. The NOFO will prioritize the jurisdictions in Phase 1 in the Ending the HIV Epidemic Initiative.
