This week CDC released “Strategic Partnerships and Planning to Support Ending the HIV Epidemic in the United States” a two-component funding opportunity for the Administration’s Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America.

Part A is focused on funding one non-profit to enhance strategic communications, partnerships, policy analysis and interpretation. Part B makes funding available for up to 33 local and/or state health departments for local planning toward ending the HIV epidemic.

It will be essential that STD programs are part of the local planning efforts. NCSD is currently working on a guidance document and will be offering direct guidance to members in the jurisdictions identified in this plan, so stay tuned! To read the NOFO, click here.
