About this program
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) within the Department of Health and Human Services is funding HIV/AIDS surveillance programs under Assistance Listing 93.944, with the most recent grant awards issued as of September 30, 2025.
This program funds two distinct but complementary surveillance activities. The Medical Monitoring Project (MMP) collects behavioral interview and medical record abstraction data on probability samples of adults diagnosed with HIV in the United States, regardless of care status, to characterize clinical and behavioral characteristics, service utilization, and unmet needs. The National HIV Behavioral Surveillance (NHBS) system monitors HIV-related risk behaviors, HIV prevalence, and prevention service access among high-risk populations including men who have sex with men, people who inject drugs, heterosexuals at increased risk, and transgender persons in designated metropolitan statistical areas. Both initiatives produce locally and nationally representative data to inform HIV prevention, care, treatment planning, resource allocation, and evaluation.
The program is dominated by Cooperative Agreements, which account for 78 percent of the 441 total federal awards distributed since 2001, with Project Grants at 12 percent and Block Grants at 10 percent. The CDC has issued 356 Cooperative Agreements valued at $672.7 million in federal dollars obligated and 85 additional awards (assistance type not specified) valued at $257 million in federal dollars obligated. Combined federal dollars obligated across the program total $929.6 million. Recent awards show typical grant values ranging from approximately $750 thousand to $2.9 million for five-year MMP awards, with individual state MMP projects funded at these magnitude levels in September 2025 cohort.
Award activity remains consistent, though variable year-to-year: the program issued 46 awards in 2015, 44 in 2016, 12 in 2020, 8 in 2022, and 14 in 2025. Most recent awards issued September 30, 2025 include MMP cooperative agreements for New Jersey ($2.7 million), Georgia ($1.5 million), Indiana ($1.5 million), and Texas ($2.2 million), each extending through September 29, 2030. Earlier awards from January 2022 funded National HIV Behavioral Surveillance projects in multiple metropolitan areas with valuations ranging from $4.7 million to $7.7 million for four-year periods.
The program restricts MMP awards to a defined set of 26 established jurisdictions selected in 2004 to represent the national HIV epidemic. Eligible applicants include state governments, the District of Columbia, territorial governments, county governments, city and township governments, and their authorized agents. The program requires projects to be conducted in accordance with CDC protocols and offers non-competitive continuation funding after initial awards when recipients demonstrate satisfactory progress and the funding is determined to serve the federal government's interest. Project periods are typically one to five years.
No current open grant opportunities are listed in the source. The most recent posted opportunities were CDC-RFA-PS22-2211 for enhanced surveillance of early and late HIV diagnoses (closed April 26, 2022) and CDC-RFA-PS20-2005 for the Medical Monitoring Project (closed January 31, 2020). Historical opportunities show recurring solicitation cycles for both MMP and NHBS components, typically posted annually or biennially.
