Controlling and Preventing STIs in US Health Departments (CAP-STIs)

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is funding programs to track, prevent, and control sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in state, district, territorial, and city or county health departments. The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to track, prevent, and control three common STIs: syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. The NOFO supports the goals of the Sexually Transmitted Infections National Strategic Plan 2021-2025. Key aspects of this opportunity include: • Preventing new STIs • Improving the health of people by reducing adverse outcomes of STIs • Implementing STI prevention technology and innovations more quickly • Reducing the impact of STIs in areas or populations disproportionately impacted by STIs • Achieving integrated, coordinated efforts that address the STI epidemic Local surveillance data will determine the priority populations for this NOFO, and each program should focus on populations that are disproportionately impacted by STI transmission.
