About this opportunity

The Department of Health and Human Services Indian Health Service is seeking applicants for the Ending the HIV/HCV/Syphilis Epidemics in Indian Country II (ETHIC II) program, a cooperative agreement to support American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities in increasing diagnoses, treatment, and prevention of HIV, Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), and syphilis. The program aims to reduce new HIV, HCV, and syphilis infections to less than 3,000 per year by 2030 and achieve a 90% reduction in new HCV infections and 65% reduction in HCV-related mortality by 2030. Eligible applicants include tribal organizations, tribal governments, and other organizations. The application deadline is July 31, 2024.

The total funding available is approximately $14 million, with individual awards anticipated between $150,000 and $2 million. The program has three focus areas: 1) Community-Based Programs, 2) Clinical Services, and 3) Supporting Special Initiatives. The funding is provided through the Minority HIV/AIDS Fund (CFDA 93.899), and the earliest anticipated start date is September 1, 2024.

Synopsis

The purpose of this program is to support communities to directly increase the diagnoses, treatment, and prevention of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), and syphilis. Successful applicants will work toward a reduction of new HIV infections and relevant co-morbidities, specifically syphilis and HCV infections; improve HIV/HCV/syphilis-related health outcomes; and reduce HIV/HCV/syphilis-related health disparities among American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) people. In four separate but related parts, this initiative aims to implement effective and innovative strategies, interventions, approaches, and services to reduce new HIV/HCV/syphilis infections among AI/AN communities in the U.S. This initiative's overarching goals are to: (1) Reduce new HIV, HCV, and syphilis infections to less than 3,000 per year by 2030; and (2) achieve a 90 percent reduction in new HCV infections and a 65 percent reduction in mortality, compared to a 2015 baseline.
