Funded Non-governmental Organizations (NGOs)
Cooperative Agreements to Improve the Health and Educational Outcomes of Young People
CDC supports 6 national nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) to provide capacity-building assistance to education and health agencies, community-based organizations, institutions of higher education, and other organizations to improve health and educational outcomes among children and adolescents.
Promoting Adolescent Health Through School-Based HIV/STD Prevention and School-Based Surveillance is intended to provide effective capacity building assistance to support sustainable initiatives in districts and schools that contribute to reductions in HIV/STD infections among adolescents, and reductions in disparities in HIV/STD infections experienced by specific adolescent sub-populations. NGOs funded under Strategy 3, Capacity Building Assistance for School-Based HIV/STD Prevention, are expected to provide capacity building assistance for education agencies on one of three approaches: exemplary sexual health education, school health services, and safe and supportive environments. NGOs funded under Strategy 4, School-Centered HIV/STD Prevention for Young Men Who Have Sex with Men (YMSM), are expected to implement multiple program activities to meet the HIV/STD prevention needs of YMSM based on jurisdictional data, and to develop strategic partnerships and collaborations between schools and community-based, mental health, and social services organizations to accomplish this work.
