For
direct funding of grant applications of indigenous organizations with
a history of working with African-American communities to target high-risk
populations. The goals of this initiative are: (1) provide financial
and technical assistance to indigenous CBOs to provide HIV prevention
services to primarily African-American populations for which gaps
in services are demonstrated; (2) support HIV prevention programs
that reflect national program goals and are consistent with the HIV
prevention priorities outlined in the jurisdiction's comprehensive
HIV plan; and (3) promote the collaboration and coordination of HIV
prevention efforts among CBOs and other local, State, and federally
funded programs. This extends CDC's program providing direct funding
to community-based organizations (CBOs). |
| Eligible
applicants: |
Minority
CBOs, including faith based organizations, in either: (1) the 20 MSAs
with more than 1,000 AIDS cases in the African-American population
in 1997; or (2) 30 counties and cities with highest rate of syphilis
infection in 1997. |

Technical
Assistance to Directly Funded Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) |
| Description
of Initiative: |
This
funding will be used to provide targeted technical assistance through
cooperative agreements with national organizations to assist minority
community-based organizations (CBOs) in developing expertise in fiscal
and administrative grants management and the preparation of competitive
funding applications, and through organizational mentoring strategies.
The goal of this program is to improve the capacity of CBOs, including
faith-based organizations, to deliver effective HIV prevention services
to African Americans. The program also serves to increase the effectiveness
and responsiveness of the HIV prevention community planning process
and health departments' HIV prevention programs to meet the needs
of African-American communities heavily affected by HIV and AIDS. |

Approximately
$4.0 million was awarded through state and local health departments

Pilot
Prison Programs for Linkages of Incareerated Populations with
Community Prevention and Care |
| Description
of Initiative: |
Several
pilot projects will be initiated related to disease intervention and
prevention in correctional settings that build upon our existing programs
within correctional settings. The goal of this initiative is to improve
access to health care and the health status of both incarcerated and
at-risk disproportionately affected racial and ethnic minorities,
especially HIV-infected persons, and their communities. This will
be accomplished by: 1) increasing access to HIV/AIDS primary health
care and prevention services; 2) strengthening HIV transitional services
between correctional settings and communities, and 3) linking networks
of HIV health and social services. Models of linked networks of health
services including HIV/AIDS, STD, TB, hepatitis and substance abuse
prevention and treatment during and after incarceration will be developed
and evaluated for use by other primary eare, prevention, criminal
justice, and community service organizations. In addition, a portion
of these funds will be used to provide technical assistance to health
departments working with correctional facilities. This funding will
be provided through interagency agreements with facilities. This funding
will be coordinated with other federal agencies, such as National
Institute of Justice, HRSA, and SAMHSA. |

Strengthen
the Requirements in CDC's HIV Prevention Community Planning |
| Description
of Initiative: |
This
initiative will strengthen the requirements in CDC's HIV prevention
community planning cooperative agreements so that State allocation
decisions must reflect the demographics of the HIV epidemic in that
State. CDC has been working collaboratively with State and local health
departments over the last several years to achieve this objective.
This activity reflects a redirection of funds within the existing
HIV prevention cooperative agreements to ensure that currently available
resources are spent proportionate to the epidemic in a given locale,
and does not fully address substantial unmet needs. To implement these
requirements, CDC will analyze the budgets of all State health departments
in October-November 1998, to ensure that HIV Prevention funds are
being allocated based on the latest HIV/AIDS surveillance data. For
any State in which this is not the case, CDC will take immediate action
to work with the State to correct these budget gaps. CDC estimates
that approximately $15 million will be redirected toward prevention
programs within the African-American community. |

Every January the state health departments receive base HIV prevention
fund awards. The budget table analyses for FY98 are near completion
and CDC is providing feedback to the states on how their funding is
tracking with their HIV epidemics. States will report in September
1999 on the uses of the FY99 funds based on CDC's analyses, which
projects that approximately $15 million will be redirected into programs
for African American communities. |

Prevention
of HIV Through STD Treatment |
| Description
of Initiative: |
CDC
has awarded, through state and local health departments, an additional
$ 1.7 million to enhance syphilis elimination efforts in 13 areas
most heavily affected by the disease. Syphilis has a disproportionate
impact on communities of color, with approximately 89 percent of all
cases occurring in minority communities (84 percent occurring in African
Americans). Early detection and treatment of STDs can have a major
impact on sexual transmission of HIV, as untreated STDs can increase
the risk of HIV transmission by 2 to 5-fold. This funding began with
FY 98 funds and is continuing with FY99 resources. |
