United States Conference of Mayors Seeks Proposals for HIV/AIDS Prevention Grants Program

Deadline: February 26, 2007

The United States Conference of Mayors (<a href="http://www.usmayors.org">http://www.usmayors.org</a>), in cooperation with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for HIV, STD and TB Prevention, has issued a Request for Proposals for the HIV/AIDS Prevention Grants Program to strengthen local capacities to carry out effective HIV/AIDS prevention activities.

Proposals will be accepted for two tracks. Proposals for track one must address the implementation of HIV/AIDS prevention services targeting Native Americans. Proposals for track two must address the implementation of HIV/AIDS prevention services targeting African American or Hispanic Women at high risk of HIV infection.

USCM plans to award grants totaling approximately $530,000 to local health departments, nonprofit community-based organizations, and Native American tribes/nations for implementation of HIV/AIDS prevention projects for these target populations. Approximately $180,000 will be allocated to three grants of $60,000 each for Native Americans, while approximately $350,000 will be allocated to five grants of $70,000 each for high-risk women. Because USCM offers only single-year funding, applicants should consider USCM grants as seed money for innovative projects that would otherwise not be attempted.

All proposals will be judged by an external panel of experts solely on their merit; membership in USCM is not required.

The complete Request for Proposals can be downloaded from the USCM Web site.
