About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is soliciting applications for cooperative agreements to track, prevent, and control three common sexually transmitted infections—syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia—in state, district, territorial, and city or county health departments, with all 50 states, the District of Columbia, the US Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico eligible to apply.

CDC intends to fund all 50 states, the District of Columbia, the US Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico non-competitively according to a formula based on each jurisdiction's population and reported morbidity of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and primary and secondary syphilis. CDC may fund a limited number of directly funded cities competitively based on population, STI morbidity, and organizational capacity. Directly funded cities must have demonstrated capacity to report chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis surveillance data to CDC; a written agreement with their parent state to apply separately and coordinate appropriately; and serve a metropolitan statistical area that reported in 2024 at least 500 cases of syphilis (ages 15–44), at least 7,500 cases of gonorrhea (ages 15–44), at least 15,000 cases of chlamydia (ages 15–44), and at least 4 million residents.

Eligible applicants include special district governments, county governments, state governments, and city or township governments. The program requires applicants to focus on populations disproportionately impacted by STI transmission and to collaborate with partners addressing interconnected comorbidities and sexual health. Programs must implement activities aligned with the Sexually Transmitted Infections National Strategic Plan 2021–2025: prevent new STIs, improve health outcomes by reducing adverse STI outcomes, implement STI prevention technology and innovations, reduce STI impact in disproportionately affected areas or populations, and achieve integrated, coordinated efforts addressing the STI epidemic. Local surveillance data will determine priority populations. The funding instrument is cooperative agreement under CFDA 93.977 (Sexually Transmitted Diseases Prevention and Control Grants).

Forecast synopsis

CDC is funding programs that track, prevent, and control sexually transmitted infections (STI) in state, district, territorial, and city or county health departments.

The purpose of this NOFO is to track, prevent, and control three common STIs: syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia.

The NOFO supports the goals of the Sexually Transmitted Infections National Strategic Plan 2021-2025:

  • Prevent new STIs.
  • Improve the health of people by reducing adverse outcomes of STIs.
  • Implement STI prevention technology and innovations more quickly.
  • Reduce the impact of STIs in areas or populations disproportionately impacted by STIs.
  • Achieve integrated, coordinated efforts that address the STI epidemic.

Local surveillance data will determine the priority populations for this NOFO. Each program should focus on populations that are disproportionately impacted by STI transmission.

To be successful with this NOFO, you will need to collaborate with partners to address interconnected comorbidities and sexual health.

Eligibility

All fifty (50) states, the District of Columbia, the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico are eligible to apply. To ensure implementation of STI control and prevention nationwide, CDC intends to fund all fifty states, the District of Columbia, the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, non-competitively, according to a funding formula based on the respective jurisdiction"s population & morbidity of three reportable STIs (chlamydia, gonorrhea and primary & secondary syphilis).Section 318(c) of the Public Health Services Act, 42 USC 247c(c), provides that the Secretary of HHS may provide funding to "States and, in consultation with the State health authority, to political subdivisions of States..." to conduct STI prevention & control projects. This language allows CDC to fund cities in addition to their respective states. Under the previous STI prevention & control funding opportunity PS19-1901 (& prior to that, PS14-1402), CDC funded the following cities based upon population, STI morbidity & organizational capacity: New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago, Los Angeles & San Francisco.To maximize the efficiency of program delivery, CDC may again fund a limited number of cities under this award. Funding for cities will be awarded competitively, based on the same criteria shown above for the state formula: population, STI morbidity, as well as organizational capacity. Directly funded cities must have a demonstrated capacity to report chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis surveillance data to CDC; an agreement with their parent state to apply separately for NOFO funding & to coordinate/collaborate appropriately following any funding; & data showing that the surrounding metropolitan statistical area (MSA) reported 2024 data showing:> or = to 500 cases of syphilis aged 15-44 reported in 2024 > or = 7500 cases of gonorrhea aged 15-44 reported in 2024 > or = to 15,000 cases of chlamydia aged 15-44 reported in 2024 > or = to 4 million residents estimated in 2024 Cities that apply for funding must submit their 2024 surveillance summary demonstrating the number of required cases & residents, a joint statement of collaboration/coordination with their respective state, or a letter indicating the city has notified the state of its application for funding of this award. In the event that cities do not compete successfully for the funding, all funds will be provided to the state, which will be responsible for distributing funds to its constituent cities as appropriate.
