What it pays for
The purpose of the assistance is to strengthen STD prevention programs in eligible jurisdictions. Project grants awarded under Section 318 to State and local health departments, academic and public health organizations emphasize the development and implementation of nationally uniform prevention and control programs which focus on the core public health functions of assessment, assurance, policy development, and prevention services. This includes surveillance activities, including the reporting, screening, and follow up of persons diagnosed with STDs, and disease intervention activities to find cases, and notify and refer exposed partners to STD into care.
Who can apply
Any State, and, in consultation with the appropriate State Health Authority, any political subdivision of a State, including American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments or tribal organizations located wholly or in part within their boundaries; academic institutions and national and public health organizations.
How applications are judged
Applications will be evaluated based upon the magnitude of the problem, the establishment of specific and measurable objectives to address the problem, and the development of a sound operational plan which will ensure the implementation of each program element.
Match
None required (federal program listing).
