The overall goal of this Request for Applications (RFA) is to increase access to high quality HIV/STD prevention and related services for Gay Men/MSM of color in communities in New York State most affected by HIV and STD transmission.
The goals of the RFA are to (1) establish a comprehensive HIV/STD prevention and support services program in Brooklyn serving Gay Men/MSM of color; (2) establish community-based HIV/STD prevention programs serving young Gay Men/MSM of color in communities in New York State most impacted by HIV and STD transmission; (3) strengthen the capacity of community-based organizations to provide quality HIV/STD prevention services to Gay Men/MSM of color; and (4) enhance syphilis elimination activities targeting Gay Men/MSM in areas outside of New York City.
The RFA is comprised of four components. The purpose of each component is described below:
Component A: Brooklyn-Based Comprehensive HIV/STD Prevention and Related Services for Gay Men/Men of Color Who Have Sex with Men (MSM). The purpose is to support a community-based organization located (i.e. has an office) in Brooklyn to provide comprehensive HIV/STD prevention, risk reduction, and support services to Gay Men/MSM of color at risk or HIV/STD-infected.
Component B: Community-Based HIV/STD Prevention and Linkages to Health Care and Related Services for Young Gay Men/Men of Color Who Have Sex with Men. The purpose is to support community-based organizations to serve young Gay Men/MSM of color (ages 16 to 24) with the overall goals of preventing new HIV/STD infections, increasing HIV/STD testing services, ensuring access to early, high quality health care and supportive services, and facilitating access to mental health and substance use/alcohol services for the target population.
Component C: Capacity Building Networks for Community-Based Organizations Serving African American/Black and Latino/Hispanic Gay Men/Men Who Have Sex with Men. The purpose is to support two agencies to lead and convene two statewide networks specifically focused on HIV/STD issues for Gay Men/MSM in the African American/black and Latino/Hispanic communities, respectively, with the overall goal of strengthening community-based HIV/STD prevention efforts in the target communities.
Component D: Community Mobilization for Syphilis Elimination. The purpose is to enhance organizations that provide STD/HIV services and that have strong connections to the affected Gay Men/MSM population in targeted areas of New York State outside New York City with the overall goal of reducing syphilis rates with an emphasis on using collaborations and innovative approaches to providing services such as prevention education, earlier case finding, and treatment. |
