Opportunity Information: Apply for WH AST 19 001
The grant opportunity titled "Preventing HIV Infection in Women through Expanded Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) Prevention, Screening, and Response Services" is a federal funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), specifically the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health. It was released as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically means funded organizations are expected to work closely with the federal program office during planning, implementation, and reporting rather than operating with complete independence. The overall focus is public health, with an emphasis on reducing HIV risk among women by strengthening how communities prevent, identify, and respond to intimate partner violence and the underlying conditions that allow IPV to persist.
At the core of the announcement is the idea that IPV and HIV risk are closely connected and need to be addressed together, not in separate silos. The FOA is looking for applicants that can take a community-level approach, meaning efforts should go beyond a single clinic, shelter, or program and instead build coordinated strategies that operate across local systems. The strongest proposals are expected to engage multiple sectors of service delivery, such as health care, public health, social services, domestic violence programs, community-based organizations, and other stakeholders who influence prevention and response. Rather than limiting activities to crisis intervention, the opportunity emphasizes comprehensive approaches that combine prevention, screening, and response in a way that is practical and sustainable within the community.
A major requirement highlighted in the description is the need to develop or expand activities that address harmful gender and social norms that contribute to IPV and, in turn, increase vulnerability to HIV infection. In other words, applicants are expected to do more than just improve referral pathways or increase screening rates; they should incorporate prevention strategies that confront root causes, including norms and dynamics that normalize coercion, control, or violence and reduce women’s ability to negotiate safer sex or access supportive services. The FOA indicates that new prevention, screening, and response activities grounded in identifying and addressing these norms should form the foundation of the work, while also expanding existing IPV and HIV-related activities through this integrated framework. This signals an expectation that applicants will build on what already exists locally, but reshape it into a broader, more coordinated model that explicitly connects IPV prevention and response with HIV prevention goals.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number "WH AST 19 001" and is associated with CFDA 93.088. The maximum award amount listed is $1,033,333, and the agency anticipated making about 20 awards, suggesting a moderately sized national cohort of grantees rather than a single large award. The announcement was created on April 10, 2019, with an original application closing date of June 12, 2019. Eligibility is described as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which usually implies that a range of organizations may apply but the detailed eligibility rules would be defined in the full FOA. Overall, the funding is aimed at organizations that can convene partners, align services across sectors, and implement community-level strategies that both reduce IPV and lower women’s risk of HIV infection through improved prevention, routine screening, and stronger response and support systems.Apply for WH AST 19 001
