of Funds

A. Purpose

The Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC) announces the

availability of fiscal year (FY) 2001

funds for a cooperative agreement

program for prevention education and

access to care services for persons

infected and affected by HIV. This

Immunodeficiency Virus Infection

(HIV). For the conference copy of

‘‘Healthy People 2010’’ visit the internet

site: <http://www.health.gov/

healthypeople> The purpose of this

program is to support the establishment

of a national program to (1) provide

education and prevention programs for

persons infected with HIV to reduce risk

for transmitting HIV and facilitate

access to care services; and (2) provide

technical assistance to other CDC

grantees to enhance their capacity to

serve persons living with HIV and

involve them in HIV prevention

programs and planning efforts.

Emphasis should be placed on

providing assistance to grantees funded

directly by CDC. Other HIV service

providers can be provided assistance

only if resources are sufficient for

expanded services.

B. Eligible Applicants

Assistance will be provided only to

national (organizations that conduct

HIV prevention programs nationwide)

non-profit organizations that meet the

following criteria:

1. Have a valid tax-exempt status

under Section 501(c)(3), as evidenced by

an Internal Revenue Service (IRS)

determination letter.

2. Have established policies and a

documented record for at least three

years of providing HIV prevention

technical assistance and education

nationally, serving as a national

prevention and education resource, and

facilitating access to care services for all

people infected by HIV/AIDS.

3. More than 50% of the board of

directors OR key staff (key management,

supervisory, administrative positions

such as executive, program, and fiscal

director positions and key service

provision positions) should be

comprised of HIV infected people.

Provide evidence of meeting this criteria

by providing a description of your board

composition and signing the enclosed

certification. The certification must be

signed by the board Chairperson or the

Executive Director/CEO.

4. At least 50% of the organization’s

resources over the last three years must

have been spent on HIV services for HIV

infected persons. Submit a list of all

funding (including in-kind resources)

received in the last three years and

identify the resources used to conduct

activities targeting HIV infected persons.

This information is subject to review

and verification.

Note: Public Law 104–65 states that an

organization described in section 501(c)(4) of

the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that

engages in lobbying activities is not eligible

to receive Federal funds constituting an

award, grant, cooperative agreement,

contract, loan, or any other form.

C. Availability of Funds

Approximately $465,000 is available

in FY 2001 to fund one award. It is
