CDC Awards $42 Million to Community-Based Organizations
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced today that it has awarded $42 million to 133 community-based organizations (CBOs) to help implement HIV prevention efforts among populations at greatest risk. The average award is approximately $323,000 per year for five years. “This funding is a critical part of CDC’s national HIV prevention efforts and is in line with the priorities identified in the recently released National HIV/AIDS Strategy,” said Jonathan Mermin, MD, director of CDC’s Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention. ”Governments on the federal and state levels cannot end this epidemic alone, and these resources will help to give many communities the tools they need to fight HIV locally.” We are thrilled to be included in the CDC Award Funding.
