SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), located

separate awards to fund the California Department of Public Health; 
Chicago Department of Public Health; Delaware Department of Health and 
Social Services; Florida Department of Health; Georgia Department of 
Public Health; Houston Department of Health and Human Services; 
Illinois Department of Public Health; Indiana State Department of 
Health; Los Angeles County Department of Public Health; Michigan 
Department of Health and Human Services; Mississippi State Department 
of Health; New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services; New 
York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene; New York State 
Department of Health; North Carolina Department of Health and Human 
Services; Oregon Health Authority; Pennsylvania Department of Health; 
Philadelphia Department of Public Health; Puerto Rico Department of 
Health; San Francisco Department of Public Health; Texas Department of 
State Health Services; Virginia Department of Health; and Washington 
State Department of Health.
    The total amount of awards is approximately $16,305,555 in Federal 
Fiscal Year (FFY) 2025, with an expected total funding of approximately 
$81,527,775 for the five-year period of performance, subject to 
availability of funds. The awards will support implementation of the 
Medical Monitoring Project (MMP), an ongoing public health surveillance 
program funded since 2005 and designed to learn more about the 
experiences and needs of adults aged 18 or older living with HIV (PWH) 
in the United States.

DATES: The period for these awards will be June 1, 2025, through May 
31, 2030.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jason Craw, National Center for HIV, 
Viral Hepatitis, STD and TB Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention, 1600 Clifton Road, MS H24-5, Atlanta, GA 30333, Telephone: 
(404) 639-6395, E-Mail: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The single source award will support the 
collection of comprehensive clinical and behavioral information from 
persons carefully sampled to represent everyone diagnosed with HIV in 
the U.S. The data are collected through in-person or telephone 
interviews with participants and a two-year medical chart abstraction 
for all persons who have been in care. MMP produces nationally 
representative data on important sociodemographic, behavioral, and 
clinical characteristics among PWH in the U.S. MMP reports essential 
data on barriers to care and viral suppression, including social 
determinants of health and indicators of quality of life among PWH that 
are used to plan and monitor state and local HIV programs, inform 
national HIV clinical guidelines and assess national progress towards 
meeting the goals of the National HIV/AIDS Strategy for the United 
States 2022-2025, the Ending the HIV Epidemic in the United States 
(EHE) initiative, the HIV Care Continuum, and CDC's High-Impact 
Prevention (HIP) approach.
    The 23 previously listed state, local and territorial health 
departments are in a unique position to conduct this work as (1) they 
are the only entities with legal authority to mandate the collection of 
public health surveillance data in their jurisdictions, (2) they can 
continue monitoring and reporting MMP data without lapse and (3) their 
selection can ensure adherence to the project's established scientific 
sampling strategy that ensures the national representativeness of MMP 
data.
