Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA PS18 1809
The National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, Sexually Transmitted Diseases and Tuberculosis Prevention (NCHHSTP) Public Health Conference Support opportunity is a CDC cooperative agreement designed to help organizations host non-federal public health conferences that focus on HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, sexually transmitted diseases, tuberculosis, and in some cases adolescent and school health as related to these areas. The central idea behind the program is that new findings from scientific studies and updated CDC recommendations need to move quickly from research and guidance documents into real-world practice. Conferences are one of the most effective ways to do that because they bring together researchers, clinicians, public health practitioners, community organizations, and other partners who can translate the latest evidence into prevention and treatment strategies that reach people at highest risk.
The opportunity is rooted in NCHHSTP's broader mission to protect public health nationally and internationally by eliminating, preventing, and controlling disease, disability, and early death linked to HIV/AIDS (including non-HIV retroviruses), viral hepatitis, other STDs, and TB. It explicitly aligns with three overarching goals: reducing new infections (incidence) of HIV, viral hepatitis, STDs, and TB; reducing illness and death (morbidity and mortality) caused by these conditions; and reducing health disparities among groups disproportionately affected. In practical terms, funded conferences are expected to support these goals by improving the speed and reach of evidence-based information sharing, strengthening partnerships across sectors, and helping frontline programs and providers adopt the most current prevention, screening, and treatment recommendations.
A major reason this grant exists is that conferences can be expensive to organize, and many governmental and nongovernmental organizations face budget limitations that prevent them from convening meetings at the scale needed to make an impact. The CDC notes that limited resources for disseminating timely health information and building collaboration can weaken efforts to reach at-risk populations and the people and systems that serve them, which in turn reduces the effectiveness of prevention and treatment programs. This funding is meant to relieve part of that burden by providing partial support specifically for conference-related activities that advance CDC priorities and recommendations in the covered disease areas. Because it is described as partial support, applicants should expect to combine CDC funds with other funding sources or in-kind support to produce the full conference.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity issued by the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, under NCHHSTP. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means CDC expects to have substantial involvement during the project period, such as providing technical input, aligning conference content with CDC guidance, or collaborating on dissemination approaches. The activity category is health, and the CFDA number is 93.339. Eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any clarifications that may have appeared in the full announcement's eligibility section. The original funding opportunity number is CDC-RFA-PS18-1809, it was created on January 9, 2018, and the original application closing date was March 16, 2018, with electronic submissions due by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
In terms of scale, the award ceiling listed for this opportunity is $400,000 per award, and CDC anticipated making around 10 awards. Overall, the program is best understood as a capacity-building and knowledge-translation mechanism: it supports conferences as a structured way to spread the latest science and CDC recommendations, encourage coordination across agencies and community partners, and ultimately improve prevention and care outcomes while addressing persistent disparities in HIV, viral hepatitis, STD, and TB burdens.Apply for CDC RFA PS18 1809
