Funding Opportunity Number AA113; Rural HIV/AIDS Prevention 
Project; Notice of Intent To Fund Single Eligibility Award

A. Purpose

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the 
availability of fiscal year (FY) 2005 funds for a cooperative agreement 
to assist rural HIV prevention program providers in developing and 
delivering HIV prevention programs by (1) identifying effective HIV 
prevention programs and innovative materials and (2) disseminating this 
information to rural HIV prevention providers. The Catalog of Federal 
Domestic Assistance number for this program is 93.939.

B. Eligible Applicant

    Assistance will be provided only to the Rural Center for AIDS/STD 
Prevention/Indiana University (IU). No other applicants are solicited. 
The Rural Center for AIDS/STD Prevention (IU) is the appropriate and 
only qualified agency to provide the services specified under this 
cooperative agreement because:
     The Rural Center is the only such organization that solely 
focuses on HIV/STD prevention for all rural communities in the country. 
The Rural Center has been emphasizing HIV/STD prevention in rural 
communities for over ten years. The Rural Center has developed 
relationships with HIV prevention providers in rural communities, 
earning their trust and willingness to share information about their 
activities.
     An extensive internet search of organizations providing 
HIV prevention services to rural communities throughout the U.S., as 
described in this program announcement, did not identify any other 
comparable organizations.
     The Rural Center is widely recognized as a valuable 
resource for rural HIV/STD prevention specialists; its Web site 
receives over 30,000 ``hits'' per month. The Rural Center disseminates 
HIV/STD prevention information and research findings through various 
professional trainings and prevention guidelines development.
     The Rural Center has established the National Network of 
Rural HIV/STD Prevention Specialists. This network of over 800 members 
provides a forum (e.g. e-mail listserv) for rural HIV/STD prevention 
specialists to discuss prevention-related issues for rural communities, 
to exchange information, and to offer support. This network forms the 
basis for communication with rural HIV prevention programs. Other 
organizations serving rural communities are state or regionally based.
     The Rural Center distributes monthly STD/HIV prevention 
updates via e-mail and fax to several hundred rural HIV/STD prevention 
specialists throughout the country.
     The Rural Center has a collaborative working relationship 
with the National Rural Health Association (NRHA) and conducts national 
conferences every two years for rural HIV/STD prevention specialists. 
The goal of the conferences is to present model rural HIV/STD 
prevention programs and emphasize information exchange and lessons 
learned. The Rural Center complements the activities of NRHA because 
NRHA does not provide specific HIV/AIDS-related services.

C. Funding

    Approximately $245,471 is available in FY 2005 to fund this award 
February 1, 2006 and will be made for a 12-month budget period within a
