Opportunity Information: Apply for SP 23 005
The Minority AIDS Initiative: The Substance Use and Human Immunodeficiency Virus Prevention Navigator Program for Racial/Ethnic Minorities is a federal discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Issued as a cooperative agreement, it supports programs that combine prevention-focused services around substance use and HIV for communities that are both medically underserved and disproportionately affected by these conditions. The overall goal is to reduce risk, improve prevention access, and help people navigate into appropriate prevention, screening, and related support services before substance use disorders and HIV transmission become more entrenched.
The program is specifically designed to reach racial and ethnic minority populations who are considered at high risk for substance use disorders (SUDs) and HIV infection. Within that broad focus, the opportunity highlights several priority groups and settings where risk and barriers to care tend to intersect: men who have sex with men (MSM), men who have sex with men and women (MSMW), and individuals who identify as LGBTQI. It places added emphasis on people who are not in stable housing and/or who live in communities experiencing high rates of HIV, viral hepatitis (including hepatitis A, B, and C), and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). In practice, this points applicants toward outreach and prevention navigation efforts that can operate effectively in high-need environments, including places where housing instability, stigma, and limited access to healthcare make it harder for people to get timely prevention services.
Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, awardees should typically expect an active federal partnership component beyond what is common in a standard grant. Cooperative agreements often involve substantial involvement from the federal agency, such as providing technical assistance, supporting implementation strategies, establishing reporting expectations, and aligning program activities with national or agency prevention priorities. Applicants generally need to be prepared for structured performance measurement, collaboration with SAMHSA, and clear documentation of how their services are delivered and to whom, especially given the focus on priority populations and geographic areas with elevated infection rates.
Key funding details include an opportunity number of SP 23 005 and a CFDA number of 93.243, placing it within a recognized federal assistance catalog category tied to health-focused programs. The award ceiling is listed as $300,000, and the opportunity anticipated making about 34 awards, suggesting a moderate number of funded sites with relatively focused budgets per award. The notice was created on April 21, 2023, with an original closing date of June 20, 2023. Eligibility is noted as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which signals that eligibility may extend beyond the most common applicant types but requires careful review of the full announcement language to confirm which organizations can apply and under what conditions.
In short, this opportunity funds targeted, community-oriented prevention navigation and related services at the intersection of substance use and HIV risk, with a deliberate emphasis on reaching racial and ethnic minority communities and LGBTQI individuals who face compounded risk due to housing instability and residence in high-burden areas for HIV, viral hepatitis, and STIs. The structure and focus suggest that competitive proposals would be those that demonstrate credible community reach, culturally responsive engagement strategies, and a practical plan for connecting high-risk individuals to prevention supports and appropriate health services in settings where barriers to access are common.Apply for SP 23 005
