    minority non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to carry out capacity-
    building activities that will strengthen the delivery and effectiveness 
    of HIV prevention programs and services for racial and ethnic minority 
    populations.
        On June 30, 1999, CDC published in the Federal Register [64 FR 
    35170] a summary of this proposed program and requested public 
    comments. Upon receipt of these comments, the CDC revised the proposed 
    program and is again requesting additional comments. After 
    consideration of additional comments submitted, the CDC will publish a 
    program announcement to solicit applications. A more complete 
    description of the goals of this program, the target applicants, 
    availability of funds, program requirements, and evaluation criteria 
    follows.
    
    DATES: The public is invited to submit comments by September 21, 1999. 
    The National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention, Division of HIV/
    AIDS Prevention will host a Consultation on September 9-10, 1999, in 
    Atlanta, Georgia to solicit additional comments on the Summary 
    Statement for Capacity-Building Assistance (CBA) to Improve the

    Supplementary Information
    
    A. Program Purpose
    
        The primary purpose of this program is to provide financial and 
    programmatic assistance to national, regional, and local non-
    governmental minority organizations to develop and implement regionally 
    structured and integrated capacity-building assistance systems that 
    will sustain, improve, and expand local HIV prevention services for 
    racial and ethnic minority individuals whose behaviors place them at 
    risk for acquiring or transmitting HIV and other sexually transmitted 
    diseases (STDs). For this program, capacity-building assistance is 
    defined as the provision of information, new HIV prevention 
    technologies, consultation, technical services, and training for 
    individuals and organizations to improve the delivery and effectiveness 
    of HIV prevention services.
        Capacity-building assistance developed under this program will be 
    provided in 4 priority areas as follows: (1) Strengthening 
    Organizational Infrastructure for HIV Prevention, (2) Enhancing HIV 
    Prevention Interventions, (3) Mobilizing Communities for HIV 
    Prevention, and (4) Strengthening HIV Prevention Community Planning.
        Capacity-building assistance in Priority Areas (1), (2), and (4) 
    will be regionally structured and delivered to the intended audience 
    within four regional groups as follows:
    
    Northeast Region: CT, MA, ME, NH, NJ, NY, PA, PR, RI, VT, U.S. Virgin 
    Islands
    Midwest Region: IL, IN, IA, KS, MI, MN, MO, NE, ND, OH, SD, WI
    South Region: AL, AR, D.C., DE, FL, GA, KY, LA, MD, MS, NC, OK, SC, TN, 
    TX, VA, WV
    West Region: AK, AZ, CA, CO, HI, ID, NV, NM, OR, MT, UT, WA, WY, 
    American Samoa, Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, Federated 
    States of Micronesia, Guam, Republic of Marshall Islands, Palau
    
        Capacity-building assistance in Priority Area (3) can be structured 
    and delivered within any of the four regional groups identified above, 
    but can also be targeted according to identifiable patterns of minority 
    subcultures and affinity groups (e.g., migrant streams, faith leaders, 
    injection drug using networks).
    
    B. Goals
    
        The goals for this program are as follows:
    
    1. Priority Area (1): Strengthening Organizational Infrastructure
    
        Improve the capacity of community-based organizations (CBOs) to 
    develop and sustain organizational infrastructures that support the 
    delivery of HIV prevention program services and interventions.
        The emphasis for providing capacity-building assistance in Priority 
    Area (1) is for CBOs funded directly by CDC. Other CBOs can be provided 
    assistance, if funding is sufficient for expanded services.
    
    2. Priority Area (2): Enhancing Interventions
    
        Improve the capacity of CBOs to design, develop, implement, and 
    evaluate effective HIV prevention interventions for racial/ethnic 
    minority populations at risk for acquiring or transmitting HIV and 
    other STDs.
        The emphasis for providing capacity-building assistance in Priority 
    Area (2) is for CBOs funded directly by CDC, and CBOs funded by State 
    or local health departments. Other organizations can be provided 
    assistance in Priority Area (2), if funding is sufficient for expanded 
    services.
    
    3. Priority Area (3): Mobilizing Communities for HIV Prevention
    
        Improve the capacity of CBOs and other community stakeholders to 
    engage and develop their communities for the purpose of increasing 
    their awareness, leadership, participation in, and support for HIV 
    prevention.
        The emphasis for providing capacity-building assistance in Priority 
    Area (3) is for CBOs and other community stakeholders relating to 
    racial and ethnic minority communities heavily affected by the HIV/AIDS 
    epidemic.
    
    4. Priority Area (4): Strengthening HIV Prevention Community Planning
    
        a. Enhance the capacity of CBOs, health departments, and other 
    community stakeholders to effectively participate in and support the 
    HIV prevention community planning process.
        b. Enhance the capacity of community planning groups (CPGs) to 
    support and involve racial and ethnic minority participants in the 
    community planning process and to increase Parity, Inclusion, and 
    Representation (PIR) .
        The emphasis for providing capacity-building assistance in Priority 
    Area (4) is for community planning groups, CBOs and other community 
    stakeholders, and health departments. For the purpose of this program 
    announcement, community stakeholders are individuals, groups, or 
    organizations in the target community that have an interest or stake in 
    preventing HIV and are potential or actual agents of change.
    
    C. Priority Areas
    
        In the following sections, information will be described on 
    eligible applicants, availability of funds, funding priorities, program 
    requirements, and evaluation criteria for each of the priority areas. 
    Organizations may apply for more than one priority area. However, a 
    separate application must be submitted for each priority area.

        (6) Identify, collaborate with, and complement the capacity-
    building efforts available locally to avoid duplication of effort and 
    to ensure that capacity-building assistance is allocated according to 
    gaps in services and the priority ``Organizational Infrastructure 
    Development and Assessment'' needs of CDC-funded CBOs.
        (7) Coordinate program activities with appropriate national, 
    regional, State, and local HIV prevention programs; national, State and 
    local capacity-building providers; and State or local community 
    planning groups.

    decisions are made. A fiscal Recipient Capability Assessment (RCA) may 
    be required of some applicants before funds are awarded.

    efficient services that follow national standards of practice and 
    compliment CDC's standards and expectations for conducting effective 
    community planning and HIV prevention services.
        (5) Develop and implement a plan for targeting, engaging, and 
    maintaining long-term capacity-building relationships with CPGs, CBOs, 
    and community stakeholders. The plan should include strategies for 
    conducting ongoing needs assessments and developing tailored capacity-
    building packages to be delivered over the long-term and as appropriate 
    to the identified needs. This plan must be shared with the appropriate 
    health departments and CPGs.
        (6) Identify, collaborate with, and complement the capacity-
    building resources currently available in the region to avoid 
    duplication of effort.
        (7) Develop and implement a system that responds to requests for 
    assistance in strengthening HIV Prevention Community Planning. This 
    system must include mechanisms for assessing and prioritizing requests; 
    linking requests to other capacity-building resources and to services 
    provided in Priority Areas (1), (2) and (3); delivering services; and 
    conducting quality assurance.
        (8) Ensure that capacity-building assistance is allocated according 
    to priority needs for ``Community Planning Participation and 
    Effectiveness'' in CPGs needing increased Parity,

    community stakeholders about the HIV prevention community planning 
    process.
