AI Contract Overview
This funding opportunity aims to advance the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s goals for combating viral hepatitis by strengthening community and provider-level responses to hepatitis B and C in populations most affected. It is structured into two distinct components: Part A focuses on building and sustaining a coalition of public and private organizations to expand educational outreach, increase testing capacity, and improve linkage to care for disproportionately impacted communities through technical assistance and training. Part B targets healthcare professionals by providing free, on-demand, web-based educational resources with continuing education credits and actively promoting these tools to enhance clinical competence in hepatitis B and C evaluation and treatment. Both components work in tandem to empower populations to make informed health decisions and ensure timely access to care, ultimately reducing illness and death from viral hepatitis. Applications for each part must be submitted separately, allowing organizations to pursue one or both components based on their capacity and focus. The initiative is managed by the CDC’s National Center for HIV, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention under the Department of Health and Human Services, with point of contact provided for inquiries.

Full Description
In alignment with CDC's viral hepatitis strategic goals and current epidemiology, this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) will address the need for increasing awareness of viral hepatitis prevention, testing, and treatment options among populations disproportionately affected by hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C virus infections. The priority populations' needs will also be addressed by increasing healthcare professionals' competence in the evaluation and treatment of hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C virus infection. The outcomes of this NOFO will be achieved through two separate components. An organization may apply for one component or both components by submitting two separate applications, one for Part A and one for Part B.
Part A: Community Education, Awareness, and Capacity Building, and
Part B: Professional Education and Training.
Strategies and activities conducted under each part may contribute to more people with hepatitis B and hepatitis C able to make informed health decisions and obtain proper care and treatment which can lead to decreased morbidity and mortality from hepatitis B and hepatitis C.
Part A strategies and activities focus on 1) leading, maintaining, and growing an existing coalition of public and private organizations serving populations disproportionately affected by hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C, 2) providing technical assistance and training to coalition members to deliver hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C educational outreach to disproportionately affected populations, and 3) building capacity of coalition members to conduct hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C virus infection testing and linkage to treatment in settings serving disproportionately affected populations.
Short-term outcomes include increasing capacity of the coalition to expand services to a larger number of populations disproportionately affected by hepatitis B and hepatitis C, increasing capacity of coalition members to deliver hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C educational outreach to disproportionately affected populations, and increasing testing for hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C virus infection among disproportionately affected populations.
Part B strategies and activities focus on 1) providing free comprehensive web-based, accurate, on-demand resources and trainings for healthcare professionals for hepatitis B and hepatitis C, and associated continuing education credits, and 2) actively marketing and promoting training and resources.
