CDC Launches New HIV Awareness Campaign
Let’s Stop HIV Together, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) new HIV awareness and anti-stigma campaign, has now been launched nationwide.
The campaign gives voice to people living with HIV from all walks of life, alongside their friends and family members. As part of the campaign, these individuals share their personal stories and call on everyone to join the fight against the disease. Let’s Stop HIV Together highlights the fact that HIV touches every corner of American society and that people with the infection are part of the fabric of our families and valued members of our communities. Click here to watch the campaign video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRF5p96JD9k&feature=youtu.be. Please also visit http://www.ActAgainstAIDS.org to download all campaign materials, view and share the campaign videos and PSAs, and share your personal stories about how you, your friends, and your colleagues are stopping HIV together.
Let’s Stop HIV Together encourages everyone to:
* Get the facts – Learn the basics of HIV transmission and prevention.
* Get tested – CDC recommends that every adult and adolescent get tested at least once in his or her lifetime, and those at increased risk (for example, men who have sex with men, and individuals with new or multiple sexual partners) get tested at least once a year.
* Get involved – Encourage friends and loved ones to get tested and speak out against the stigma and complacency that help fuel the spread of HIV.
More than three decades after the first reported AIDS cases, HIV is still a crisis in the United States. Approximately 50,000 Americans become newly infected each year, and an estimated 1.1 million people are now living with HIV. Yet, nearly one in five of these individuals do not know that they are infected.
The new campaign will appear in national print and online ads, television and radio public service announcements (PSAs), billboards and other outdoor advertising venues, and will be the focus of a national media relations effort to generate print and broadcast news stories.

CPRIT Prevention EBP Request for Application Revision
A revision has been made to the Evidence-Based Cancer Prevention Services RFA (RFA P-13-EBP-1, Section 2.3) that was released by the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) on May 31, 2012.
At this time, CPRIT will not entertain proposals that seek to restore or expand Department of State Health Services (DSHS) Quitline services that have been reduced from previous funding levels by state agencies. Projects proposing the utilization of Quitline services should communicate with the Tobacco Prevention and Control program prior to submitting a CPRIT grant application to discuss the services currently offered by DSHS.

Development and Testing of Novel Interventions to Improve HIV Prevention, Care, and Program Implementation (R34): PA-12-231
SOURCE: National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)
APPLICATION DEADLINE: 9/7/12, 1/7/13, 5/7/13.
$ AVAILABLE: The number of awards is contingent upon NIH appropriations, and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications.
ELIGIBILITY: Public/state/private controlled institutions of higher education, nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) IRS status (other than institutions of higher education), small businesses, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), state governments, U.S. territories or possessions, Indian/Native American tribal government (federally recognized and other than federally recognized), Indian/Native American tribally designated organizations, non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities, Hispanic-serving institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs), Alaska native and native Hawaiian serving institutions, regional organizations, eligible agencies of the federal government, and faith-based or community-based organizations.
PURPOSE: This announcement is issued by the National institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), National Institutes of Health for R34 applications, and provides resources to support (a) pilot or feasibility studies of new or adapted interventions to prevent HIV infection among populations where substance use may be a contributing factor; (b) pilot or feasibility studies of new or adapted interventions to improve the care of HIV infection among populations where substance use is prevalent, including interventions that integrate treatment for substance use disorders and HIV infection; or (c) pilot or feasibility studies to increase the scale, uptake, delivery, and/or quality of HIV prevention or care interventions with established evidence of efficacy. Both primary and secondary prevention will be supported. The full range of substance use will be considered including problematic episodic use and substance use disorders, as well as a full range of substances and modes of administration. The most important consideration is that substance use may affect transmission directly as in the case of injection drug use or may affect transmission risk behavior. Domestic and overseas populations will be considered, with particular attention to populations with disproportionate burden of HIV infection and those where HIV infection and/or drug use are emergent.
