WASHINGTON, Jan. 18 -- The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that it expects to award a cooperative agreement for HIV prevention.
The agency description of the cooperative agreement states: "The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to evaluate the effectiveness of implementation strategies to increase PrEP use among Black women in women's health clinics. Effectiveness will be assessed by measuring increases in the number of women who initiate, adhere to, and persist with PrEP. The project will use an implementationscience framework to understand key factors that contributed to successes and challenges associated with the implementation strategies.
PrEP is a safe and effective biomedical HIV prevention intervention that is under-prescribed and under-utilized among Black women in the United States. Women's health care settings, including family planning clinics, community health centers, and other clinics that provide women's health care services, may be ideal sites to provide PrEP because women who might benefit from PrEP receive care at these clinics for contraception, pregnancy testing, STI testing, prenatal and post-partum care, and other health care services."
The estimated total program funding available was cited as $8 million with a ceiling of $2 million.
Eligible Applicants: Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education; Small businesses; Special district governments; Public and State controlled institutions of higher education; Public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; City or township governments; Native American tribal organizations (other than Federally recognized tribal governments); For profit organizations other than small businesses; State governments; County governments; Nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education; Private institutions of higher education; Independent school districts; and Native American tribal governments (Federally recognized).

It is expected that a Center will transform knowledge in the sciences it is studying. Incremental work should not be the focus of Center activities; rather, new and creative directions are required. The P50 Center of Excellence is expected to foster the career development and mentoring of new investigators who would be given meaningful roles to play in the Center projects.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17 -- The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families announced that it expects to award a grant for the development of best practices to strengthen family support in child maltreatment reporting and prevention.
The agency description of the grant states: "This Notice of Funding Opportunity will support the development and national dissemination of best practices to strengthen the capacity of child abuse hotline staff to distinguish between poverty and willful neglect. More than 60 percent of maltreatment determinations are for neglectwithout abuse (Children's Bureau , 2021).
Further, poverty, bias, and systemic inequality continues to fuel disproportionate child abuse reporting and child welfare system involvement among families of color and other marginalized communities across the country. As a result, there has been a growing national interest to encourage mandated reporters to become "mandated supporters," whereby equal importance is placed on supporting families who would benefit from economic and concrete supports to avoid unnecessary contact with the child welfare system.
This funding will support building a national messaging campaign on how individuals can become a source of support to families in their community by acknowledging the impact of racial inequities and seeking solutions that can help mitigate child safety concerns before they rise to the level of crisis. Funding will also focus on the development of best practices for training and equipping child abuse hotline staff to navigate complex and wide-reaching needs such as understanding the distinction between poverty and willful neglect, implicit bias, addressing social and behavioral health needs, how and when to report child abuse, and providing warm hand offs to local resources whenever possible.
Applicants will need to describe plans for continuous quality improvement, evaluating the effectiveness of proposed strategies in a hotline environment, and disseminating findings widely to relevant audiences. Applicants must also demonstrate the capacity and plan to coordinate with the National Center for Community-Based Child Abuse Prevention (CBCAP), Child Welfare Information Gateway, and other hotlines administered by the Administration for Children and Families."
The estimated total program funding available was cited as $2 million. The category of funding activity is income security and social services.
Eligible Applicants: State governments; Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education; Small businesses; Public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; Public and State controlled institutions of higher education; Special district governments; Private institutions of higher education; Nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education; For profit organizations other than small businesses; County governments; Native American tribal governments (Federally recognized); Independent school districts; City or township governments; and
Native American tribal organizations (other than Federally recognized tribal governments).
Additional Information on Eligibility: Applications from individuals (including sole proprietorships) and foreign entities are not eligible and will be disqualified from competitive review and funding under this funding opportunity. Faith-based and community organizations that meet the eligibility requirements are eligible to receive awards under this funding opportunity. Faith-based organizations may apply for this award on the same basis as any other organization, as set forth at and, subject to the protections and requirements of 45 CFR Part 87 and 42 U.S.C. 2000bb et seq., ACF will not, in the selection of recipients, discriminate against an organization on the basis of the organization's religious character, affiliation, or exercise.
