About this opportunity
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is soliciting applications for cooperative agreements to support a national coalition advancing holistic and evidence-informed wellness for sexually transmitted infection prevention, with an application due date not specified in this forecast. The opportunity is unrestricted as to applicant type and open to higher education institutions (public and private), tribal governments and organizations, nonprofits (501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), state and local governments, school districts, and housing authorities.
The CDC seeks to strengthen STI prevention by funding coalition management and the development, promotion, and dissemination of evidence-based sexual health materials, resources, and tools to partners, health care providers, and the public. The program targets priority groups most affected by STIs and emphasizes a whole-person approach that addresses emotional, mental, and social well-being alongside physical health.
Cooperative agreements run one to five years with 12-month budget periods. After initial award, recipients demonstrating satisfactory progress may continue funding non-competitively if the CDC determines continued funding serves federal interests. Applications will be evaluated on demonstrated need and potential benefit to STI control, effects on local STI control programs, consistency with national program goals, specific and measurable objectives, a workable evaluation plan, and sound operational capacity to achieve stated objectives.
The opportunity operates under CFDA 93.978, Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) Provider Education Grants. Recent awards in this program have ranged from approximately $255 thousand to $8.65 million, though no specific ceiling or floor is stated for this solicitation. The program has not issued new competitive opportunities since 2020; this represents a competitive funding announcement.
Forecast synopsis
STIs represent a serious public health and economic burden in the United States (U.S.), with approximately 2.2 million new infections occurring each year. As the nation's lead public health agency, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has a unique responsibility to provide national leadership in STI prevention and control. To meet this challenge, CDC supports a comprehensive and integrated approach to STI prevention that goes beyond simply addressing the absence of disease. It empowers individuals to make healthy choices and build healthy relationships, as an approach to reducing STIs in the U.S. This whole-person approach focuses not just on physical health, but also considers the emotional, mental, and social well-being of the individual.
A key component of this approach is supporting a national coalition of sexual health and wellness expertise that allows for the strategic use of limited resources for STI prevention. The coalition brings together a range of organizations, clinical experts, and individuals committed to comprehensive and holistic sexual health and wellness frameworks for STI prevention. The goal is for them to work together to share clear, accurate information, promote quality sexual health care, and empower individuals and communities to make choices that improve health and reduce STI risk - with a particular focus on priority groups most affected by STIs.
This funding strengthens STI prevention efforts by supporting coalition management and the development, promotion, and dissemination of high-quality, evidence-based sexual health-related materials, resources, and tools to their partners, health care providers, and the public. Together, these efforts complement and supplement traditional STI prevention strategies, accelerating progress toward increasing timely diagnoses and treatment and reducing the STI morbidity in the U.S.
