Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA PS17 1710
The Telemedicine to Improve HIV Care among Minority Persons Living with HIV in Urban Areas opportunity (CDC RFA PS17-1710) is a CDC-led demonstration project designed to adapt an existing telemedicine model so it better meets the needs of racial and ethnic minority persons living with HIV (PLWH) in urban communities experiencing a higher HIV burden. The core purpose is to strengthen HIV service delivery and improve retention in care by using telemedicine to make clinical care and case management easier to access. Rather than building a brand-new system from scratch, the grant focuses on tailoring an established telemedicine approach so it more directly addresses the real-world barriers that can cause patients to fall out of care, such as transportation challenges, competing work or family responsibilities, stigma, and the difficulty of consistently engaging with healthcare and support services.
This funding is offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through NCHHSTP, and is classified as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement mechanism. A cooperative agreement typically indicates substantial involvement from the funding agency during the period of performance, which often means the recipient should be prepared to collaborate closely with CDC on implementation, reporting, and demonstration project learning. The funding activity category is health, and the opportunity is associated with CFDA 93.941.
Eligible applicants are broad and include state governments, special district governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. This range suggests the project could be led by public health agencies, academic medical centers, community-based organizations, tribal entities, or healthcare providers with the capacity to implement telemedicine-enabled HIV care and supportive services in urban settings.
Financially, the award ceiling is $834,000, and CDC expected to make two awards under this announcement. The opportunity was created on March 31, 2017, with an original closing date of May 30, 2017. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
In practical terms, the project’s emphasis is on improving retention in HIV care and the efficiency of service delivery by reducing common obstacles that prevent consistent engagement. Telemedicine is positioned as the tool to expand accessibility, which can include remote clinical encounters, streamlined follow-up, and easier access to case management services without requiring as many in-person visits. Because the target population is racial and ethnic minority PLWH in high-burden urban areas, the tailoring component implies the telemedicine program should be adapted in a culturally responsive way and designed around the specific needs and lived realities of the communities being served, with the overall aim of keeping people connected to care and support over time.Apply for CDC RFA PS17 1710
