Eligible Applicants Eligible applicants that can apply for this funding opportunity are listed below:
Eligible applicants that can apply for this funding opportunity are listed below:
Eligibility for this program is limited to State health departments, the six independently funded local health departments (Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, the City of Philadelphia and San Francisco),the District of Columbia, and the territorial health departments (Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U. S. Virgin Islands) or their Bona Fide Agents.
Competition is limited to the above listed organizations because they are the only sources authorized by local reporting laws, rules, or regulations to collect and report cases of HIV/AIDS surveillance data in their respective jurisdictions, the entire United States, Puerto Rico and the U. S. Virgin Islands.
All eligible applicants for Component A - HIV case surveillance activities will be funded.
Funding will include activities that expand the uses and improve the quality of HIV surveillance data to more effectively guide public health policy and provide relevant information necessary to direct and evaluate prevention and care activities.
Jurisdictions with eligible state and local (independently funded city or county) health departments must discuss how the state and local area will collaborate during the project period to ensure full implementation of HIV Surveillance activities within the jurisdictions (state and local areas).
The jurisdictions should document any agreements reached in a letter of agreement (LOA), which must be submitted by both parties as part of their application.
An independently funded city or county may opt not to apply; if this occurs, their funding allocation will then be available to the state to provide services for that independently funded area.
At a minimum, the LOA must include the following:
Name and address of entity providing HIV Surveillance activities Funding source (i.e.
CDC-RFA-PS13-1302) Scope of work (activities) to be provided (i.e., a statement of the funding requested by each eligible entity, the assignment of responsibility for geographic areas and general HIV Surveillance activities which will be covered) Date agreement will be in effect Signature of authorized representatives and dates.
See the letter of agreement template provided in attachments.
Competition is limited to grantees currently funded under FOA PS08-802 to ensure that the HIV surveillance system covers the entire United States and its territories.
The eligible health departments have jurisdiction over promulgating laws and legislations over specific states and metropolitan areas.
Only entities that are legislatively charged to administer and enforce state laws, rules, or regulations pertaining to collecting, protecting, and maintaining HIV surveillance data are eligible to apply under this announcement.
Additionally, for HIV Incidence Surveillance eligibility is limited to areas that have reported at last 300 annual newly diagnosed cases of HIV infection (not AIDS) in 201 0. This is needed to be able to produce sufficiently precise state and national estimates with ability to stratify by subgroups, and the purpose of calculating a multi-year national incidence estimate consistency of jurisdictions across years is essential.
Adding or removing a currently funded jurisdiction would impact the amount of data available for the national estimate because the minimum criteria of 15% of cases with a STARHS result must be met for all years of the estimate.
All State and local health departments were eligible to conduct core surveillance activities under FOA PS08-802 (FY2008-FY 2012).
In summary, the criterion for selection of the identified eligible applicants for this award is as follows:
They have the authority to promulgate rules, regulations and laws to conduct HIV surveillance activities in their jurisdictions.
A Bona Fide Agent is an agency/organization identified by the state as eligible to submit an application under the state eligibility in lieu of a state application.
If applying as a bona fide agent of a state or local government, a legal, binding agreement from the state or local government as documentation of the status is required.

Keeping Half the Profits Beats Non-profits for Social Impact
Melbourne social enterprise Who Gives A Crap sold nearly 3 million rolls of toilet paper in 2014/15 and gave half the proceeds to WaterAid Australia, but co-founder Simon Griffiths says the donation would have been less had the startup adopted a non-profit model when it launched two years ago.
