Two New CDC Program Announcements

CDC announces the availability of fiscal year (FY) 2000 funds for a cooperative agreement program for capacity-building assistance to improve the delivery and effectiveness of HIV prevention services for racial/ethnic minority populations. FY 2000 funds are also available to support community-based organizations to develop, implement, and evaluate state-of-the-art, model, community-based HIV prevention programs for populations at risk for HIV infection, especially racial/ethnic minority populations at risk.

Materials for these programs are available on the NPIN Web site for viewing, printing, and downloading. The NPIN site also offers online checklists to assist users in determining their eligibility. Visit http://www.cdcnpin.org/program.
