Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA PS 16 00402CONT17
The grant opportunity titled "Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Increase Access to Care for Black Men Who Have Sex with Men" is a CDC funding announcement aimed at improving access to health care and related supportive services for Black men who have sex with men, a population that has faced persistent barriers to care and disproportionate health impacts. The sponsoring agency is the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the listing appears under CFDA number 93.941, which is typically associated with CDC public health and HIV-related prevention and care efforts. The overall focus is on increasing access to care, which in CDC cooperative agreement contexts often includes strengthening referral pathways, improving linkage and retention in care, and addressing service gaps that prevent people from obtaining timely prevention and treatment services.
This opportunity is labeled as a continuation (Opportunity Category: Continuation), which generally means it is intended to extend or continue previously funded work rather than launch an entirely new standalone program. In practical terms, continuation announcements are often used to support ongoing projects that have already demonstrated progress, allowing recipients to sustain and potentially expand interventions, partnerships, and service delivery models that are already in place. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning the CDC anticipates having substantial involvement in the funded project beyond what would be typical in a standard grant. That substantial involvement commonly takes the form of technical assistance, participation in planning and evaluation discussions, support in aligning activities with national strategies and evidence-based practices, and collaboration on performance monitoring and reporting.
The funding opportunity number is RFA PS 16 00402CONT17, and it was created on February 24, 2017, with an original closing date of April 24, 2017. The announcement lists an expected number of awards of 10, indicating CDC planned to support multiple recipients to carry out this work, potentially across different jurisdictions or service areas. The award ceiling is shown as 0, which usually signals that the maximum award amount was not specified in the summary field or would be detailed in the full announcement text, budget guidance, or continuation terms. The activity category is Health, consistent with CDC programming focused on public health outcomes, systems improvement, and service access.
Eligibility is listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which implies the eligible applicant types were not limited to a single standard category like states or universities and could include certain organizations or entities identified in the full notice. In CDC public health cooperative agreements, this kind of eligibility language often means the program is targeted to specific recipients, consortia, community-based organizations, health departments, academic partners, or other implementing organizations with the capacity and experience to reach Black MSM and to coordinate care access efforts. Because this is also marked as a continuation, eligibility may have been restricted to current awardees under the preceding project period or related funding announcement, although that detail would be confirmed only in the full eligibility section.
Programmatically, the title and brief description make clear that the intent is to reduce barriers and improve entry points to care for Black MSM. In CDC-funded work, "access to care" efforts frequently include improving linkage to HIV testing, prevention services like PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) where applicable, timely linkage to HIV medical care for those who test positive, retention and re-engagement strategies, navigation services, culturally responsive outreach, and collaboration with clinical providers and community organizations. Many initiatives in this space also incorporate strategies to address stigma, discrimination, mistrust, and structural barriers (such as transportation, insurance coverage challenges, clinic hours, and culturally competent service environments) that can prevent consistent engagement with care. Even when the notice summary is short, the cooperative agreement structure typically comes with required reporting and performance measures, along with expectations for coordination with CDC priorities and use of data to guide quality improvement.
In short, this CDC continuation cooperative agreement (CFDA 93.941) was designed to support about ten recipients in continuing work to expand and strengthen pathways to care for Black men who have sex with men. It sits within the CDCs health funding portfolio and reflects a public health approach that combines service access improvements with close federal partnership through technical support and oversight, with the overarching goal of improving health outcomes by ensuring that people can more easily find, start, and stay connected to the care and prevention services they need.Apply for RFA PS 16 00402CONT17
