Program description
In alignment with CDC’s viral hepatitis strategic goals and current epidemiology, this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) will address the need for increasing awareness of viral hepatitis prevention, testing, and treatment options among populations disproportionately affected by hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C virus infections. The priority populations’ needs will also be addressed by increasing healthcare professionals’ competence in the evaluation and treatment of hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C virus infection. The outcomes of this NOFO will be achieved through two separate components. An organization may apply for one component or both components by submitting two separate applications, one for Part A and one for Part B.
-
Part A: Community Education, Awareness, and Capacity Building, and
-
Part B: Professional Education and Training.
Strategies and activities conducted under each part may contribute to more people with hepatitis B and hepatitis C able to make informed health decisions and obtain proper care and treatment which can lead to decreased morbidity and mortality from hepatitis B and hepatitis C.
Part A strategies and activities focus on 1) leading, maintaining, and growing an existing coalition of public and private organizations serving populations disproportionately affected by hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C, 2) providing technical assistance and training to coalition members to deliver hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C educational outreach to disproportionately affected populations, and 3) building capacity of coalition members to conduct hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C virus infection testing and linkage to treatment in settings serving disproportionately affected populations.
Short-term outcomes include increasing capacity of the coalition to expand services to a larger number of populations disproportionately affected by hepatitis B and hepatitis C, increasing capacity of coalition members to deliver hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C educational outreach to disproportionately affected populations, and increasing testing for hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C virus infection among disproportionately affected populations.
Part B strategies and activities focus on 1) providing free comprehensive web-based, accurate, on-demand resources and trainings for healthcare professionals for hepatitis B and hepatitis C, and associated continuing education credits, and 2) actively marketing and promoting training and resources.

FAQ
Can a single organization apply for both Part A and Part B?
Yes, but you must submit two separate applications—one for each component. Each application is evaluated independently.
What populations are considered "disproportionately affected" by hepatitis B and C?
The grant prioritizes communities with higher burden of infection. Review CDC's hepatitis epidemiology data and justify your target population's need in your application.
Is there required cost-sharing or match funding?
No. This cooperative agreement does not require matching funds or cost-sharing from applicants.
What is the typical project timeline?
While specific duration isn't detailed in the announcement, federal health capacity-building grants typically run 2-3 years with possibility of renewal.
How competitive is this funding?
This is a federal health grant with $5.5 million total funding pool. Competition is strong; focus applications on clear metrics and strong organizational capacity.
💡 Tips for applicants
- Focus on your organization's existing relationships and capacity to reach disproportionately affected populations, not just intent to build it.
- Use current CDC hepatitis epidemiology data to document the need in your target community.
- For Part A, clearly describe your coalition strategy including partner roles and commitment letters.
- For Part B, emphasize marketing and dissemination plans—content alone will not be competitive; providers must actually use the resources.
- Include specific, measurable outcomes aligned with CDC's hepatitis strategic goals, not vague awareness metrics.
⚠️ Common mistakes
Targeting general populations instead of those with documented hepatitis B or C disparities. Submitting a single application when planning to do both Parts A and B instead of submitting separate applications. Proposing education without clear pathways to testing and treatment linkage or concrete uptake strategies.
