The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is supporting evaluations by Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) of existing innovative HIV behavioral interventions that have been developed with substantial input by served communities and are being implemented to serve minority populations at risk for acquiring or transmitting HIV infection. These innovative interventions must have demonstrated some evidence of promising results in reducing HIV risk behaviors, but must not have undergone a previous rigorous outcome evaluation. The intent of this announcement is to support the evaluation of existing interventions and to provide feedback to CBOs for improved program effectiveness, not to conduct research.

Any minority population at high-risk for HIV would be eligible for this announcement. Proposals that seek to evaluate interventions designed for minority HIV seropositive people or interventions designed for minority populations that are not well-represented among those listed in the CDC Compendium of HIV Prevention Interventions with Evidence of Effectiveness (examples include but are not limited to men who have sex with men, migrants, commercial sex workers, and transgendered) are especially welcome.

The announcement was published today, Wednesday, July 14, 2004 in the Federal Register, Vol. 69, No. 134, pp. 42183-42190:
