Can a local health department apply to CDC directly for funds or will it receive funds from the state if the state receives the new grant?
The eligibility requirement states that Applications may be submitted by health departments of states and cities (or their bona fide agents) that currently receive CDC HIV prevention funds under PS10-1001: HIV Prevention Projects for Health Departments. Therefore, local health departments that do not currently receive PS10-1001 funds directly from CDC are not eligible to apply for this funding. Local health departments within the eligible jurisdictions are recommended to contact their state health department to determine possible collaboration and funding for their programs. This FOA is limited to health departments in jurisdictions with at least 175 estimated combined AIDS diagnoses among Blacks/African Americans and Hispanics/Latinos in 2007. Eligible jurisdictions, as listed on page 7 of this program announcement are as follows: Alabama, Arizona, California, Chicago, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Houston, Illinois, Los Angeles, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachuset
