On February 1, 2013, CDC's Division of Adolescent and School Health (DASH) released a new funding opportunity announcement (FOA), RFA-1308: Promoting Adolescent Health Through School-Based HIV/STD Prevention and School-Based Surveillance.

This FOA combines two previously separate FOAs: one for funding national nongovernmental organizations to build the capacity of education-agency HIV/STD prevention programs and one for state, local, and territorial agencies.

The new FOA (CDC-RFA-PS13-1308) can be accessed here (FOA1308), and supporting materials related to the new program announcement are available online.Potential applicants are encouraged to check these Web sites routinely for updates.
