Announcement of Cooperative Agreement to National Association of 
People With AIDS (NAPWA)

Summary

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the 
availability of fiscal year (FY) 1994 funds for a sole source 
cooperative agreement program with the National Association of People 
With AIDS (NAPWA) to continue the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) 
prevention and education programs and technical assistance being 
provided to HIV infected and affected persons and the organizations 
that serve them. Approximately $350,000 is available in FY 1994 to 
support this project. It is expected that the award will be made on or 
about September 25, 1994, for a 12-month budget period within a 5-year 
project period. Continuation awards within the project period will be 
made on the basis of satisfactory progress and availability of funds.
    The purpose of this cooperative agreement is to assist, 
collaboratively with NAPWA, in strengthening effective HIV/AIDS 
prevention education programs at all levels throughout the United 
States and its territories; to prevent HIV transmission and effect, 
maintain, measure, and evaluate behavioral change among individuals 
whose behavior places them at risk of HIV infection; to increase access 
to prevention and early intervention services for HIV-infected persons 
in order to reduce risks of further transmission and to maintain the 
health of asymptomatic clients; and to increase collaboration and 
support among agencies, organizations, groups, and constituencies 
providing HIV prevention services.
    CDC will collaborate in providing consultation and technical 
assistance in planning, operating, and evaluating program activities. 
Specifically, CDC will work with NAPWA to: (1) Facilitate collaboration 
with State and local health departments and other national and 
community organizations to reach persons most at risk for HIV 
infection; (2) assist in the identification of HIV prevention education 
programs, policies, practices, and procedures that have been 
demonstrated to be effective; (3) facilitate efforts in the provision 
of technical assistance and training to organizations that are involved 
in HIV prevention community planning; (4) assist with the development 
of plans to evaluate all program activities and to interpret evaluation 
findings.
    The Public Health Service (PHS) is committed to achieving the 
health promotion and disease prevention objectives of ``Healthy People 
2000,'' a PHS-led national activity to reduce morbidity and mortality 
and improve the quality of life. This announcement is related to the 
priority area of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired 
Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). (To order a copy of ``Healthy People 
2000,'' see the Section entitled ``Where to Obtain Additional 
Information.'')

section 301(a), (42 U.S.C. 241(a)), as amended; and Section 317(a), (42 
U.S.C. 247b(a)), as amended.

Smoke-Free Workplace

    The Public Health Service strongly encourages all grant recipients 
to provide a smoke-free workplace and promote the non-use of all 
tobacco products. This is consistent with the PHS mission to protect 
and advance the physical and mental health of the American people.

Eligible Applicant

    Assistance will be provided only to the National Association of 
People with AIDS (NAPWA) for the continued support of this project. No

assistance and education for infected and affected people, and serves

affected by HIV/AIDS. No other organization has this unique role, 
credibility, and established rapport with affected communities and the 
public at large, or the necessary national HIV program experience to 
effectively carry out the activities of this program.
