The USCM HIV Prevention Grants Program, in cooperation with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, provides financial and technical assistance to local health departments and community-based organizations to implement HIV prevention programs. The goal of this effort is to strengthen the capacity of local service providers to carry out effective HIV/AIDS prevention activities.

Since 1985 USCM has provided more than $13.1 million to 257 community-based organizations (CBOs) and local health departments nationwide to carry out HIV/AIDS education, needs assessment and prevention programs. Grants are awarded on the recommendation of an independent external review panel composed of HIV/AIDS experts drawn from local and state health departments, national organizations, and local community-based organizations.

This program has concluded and no longer offers grants.
