Cooperative Agreements for Community-Based Human Immunodeficiency 
Virus (HIV) Prevention Projects; Meeting

    The National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHSTP) of the 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announces the 
following meeting.

    Name: Consultation on draft program announcement for Cooperative 
Agreements for Community-Based Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) 
Prevention Projects--Public Meeting between CDC and national 
organizations serving populations at high risk for HIV infection; 
State and local health departments; HIV prevention community 
planning group co-chairs; and other interested parties.
    Time and Date: 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m., July 22, 1996.
    Place: Capital Hilton, 16th and K Street, NW, Washington, DC, 
20036-5794, telephone 202/393-1000, fax 202/639-5784.
    Status: Open to the public for participation, comment, and 
observation, limited only by the space available. The meeting room 
accommodates approximately 100 people, including invited 
consultants.
    Purpose: In 1989, CDC began providing direct financial and 
technical assistance to minority and other community-based 
organizations working toward reducing the behaviors that lead to HIV 
transmission in their own communities. The partnerships which 
developed through these cooperative agreements between CDC and 
hundreds of community-based organizations have proven effective in 
reaching high-risk populations with HIV prevention interventions. A 
new, competitive program announcement is being developed to provide 
direct funding to minority and other community-based organizations 
serving high-risk populations beginning in 1997 as a three-year 
project.
    This meeting is to discuss and comment on the draft program 
announcement which outlines the purpose, eligibility, available 
funds, required program activities, application content, and 
evaluation criteria.
    Matters to be Discussed: Agenda items will focus on discussion 
of the draft program announcement, ``Cooperative Agreements for 
Community-Based Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Prevention 
Projects Program Announcement.''
    The draft program announcement will be published in the Federal 
Register for a period of 30 days. Written comments should

be submitted to the contact person listed below by August 16, 1996. 
All comments will be reviewed and, if applicable, incorporated into 
the final announcement to be published in the Federal Register in 
October.

HIV/AIDS Prevention, NCHSTP, CDC, M/S A24, 1600 Clifton Road, NE,
