Details:
The County of Los Angeles, Department of Public Health (DPH), Division of HIV and STD Programs (DHSP) received grant funding for Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE): A Plan for America, a national initiative that seeks to reduce the number of new HIV infections in the United States by 75 percent within five (5) years and by at least 90 percent within 10 years.
EHE focuses on four key pillars to end the epidemic:
- Diagnose people as early as possible,
- Treat people rapidly and effectively,
- Prevent new HIV transmissions, and
- Respond quickly to HIV outbreaks.
Goals
Proposed projects should aim to prevent the transmission of HIV, diagnose HIV as quickly as possible, and/or improve health and quality of life of those living with HIV or indirectly impacted by it. This funding opportunity is for new, innovative, radically disruptive program ideas that address disparities in communities disproportionately affected by HIV. Nontraditional partners outside of the HIV sector are encouraged to apply. Programs should address HIV directly (health education, resource distribution, etc.) or indirectly by targeting the social determinants of health that contribute to higher rates of HIV and poorer health outcomes in communities living with or affected by HIV.
Funding Information
The total amount for the budget period of one (1) year is not to exceed $50,000.
Grant Period
Term of Service projected for one (1) year from date of contract execution.
Criteria
In alignment with the EHE Plan in Los Angeles County, the priority populations of focus for the EHE mini-grants include Black/African American and Latinx MSM, Black/African American and Latinx cisgender women, transgender persons, people who use substances and/or who injectdrugs, youth under 30 years of age, and people who are living with and/or affected by HIV.
