About this program
The Department of Health and Human Services ended the HIV Prevention Programs for Women (CFDA 93.015) in August 2015, making this program closed to new applications.
The program funded HIV prevention education, testing promotion, and service linkage activities targeting underserved populations of women: those living in rural southern communities; young women attending minority institutions; Native American and Alaska Native women in rural and frontier Indian Country; incarcerated and newly released women; and women in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Funded activities included prevention workshops, counseling, HIV and STD testing, linkage to medical care and case management, discharge planning for incarcerated women, and campus-based health and wellness initiatives. The program did not fund direct clinical services, diagnostic equipment, or screening supplies.
Between 2006 and September 2012, the program distributed 96 cooperative agreements and block grants totaling $33.4 million in federal dollars. The funding agency was the Department of Health and Human Services Immediate Office of the Secretary exclusively. Cooperative Agreements made up 90 percent of awards; Block Grants accounted for 10 percent. Award volume peaked in 2009 with 33 grants, declined sharply to one award in 2011, then rebounded to 15 in 2012 before the program concluded.
Recent cooperative agreements from September 2012 ranged from approximately $300 thousand to $700 thousand. Representative funded projects included the Women Partner's Program ($450 thousand), the Women's Empowerment Health Project ($440 thousand), an HIV prevention program for young women at minority institutions ($538 thousand), and Native Women Honoring an Opportunity to Prevent and Empower (HOPE) ($449 thousand).
Eligible applicants included public colleges and universities, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic Serving Institutions, Tribal Colleges and Universities, private non-profit community-based organizations, Native American Tribal Organizations, and Faith-Based Community Organizations serving underserved women. Small businesses and organizations without official partnerships with qualified institutions were ineligible. Allowable costs covered personnel, consultants, office supplies and software, domestic travel, and educational and promotional materials. Prohibited uses included direct patient care, equipment purchases, construction, incentives, food, and political lobbying.
