Deadline for Letter of Intent is Friday, September 18, 2009


The purpose of this grant is to reduce new HIV infections in Arkansas. The funding period is January 1, 2010, through December 31, 2010. This Request for Applications (RFA) represents a unique and novel collaborative effort by the Arkansas Department of Health and the Arkansas Minority Health Commission to foster a statewide coordinated effort to more effectively combat HIV/AIDS in Arkansas. This effort combines the strengths of the individual organizations to reach those most at risk for HIV/AIDS infection. We collectively believe that this effort will lead to an increased statewide response to this epidemic and ultimately lead to fewer Arkansans contracting HIV/AIDS, better health care and quality of life of those living with HIV/AIDS.

The 2010 HIV Prevention Project will focus on three areas:
• HIV Testing and Counseling
• Prevention for Positives
• Prevention based on current modes of transmission

There will be a total of $600,000 ($350,000 from ADH and $250,000 from AMHC) available for funding from the Grantors for 12-month grants/sub-grants beginning January 1, 2010, and ending December 31, 2010.

Deadline: Wednesday, October 7, 2009
