A Guide to Fiscal Year 1991 Federal Funding for HIV Disease: How Dollars are Spent How to Access Them

ducting further virologic, serologic, and molecular
studies of HIV and transferring "state-of-the-art"
technology to other laboratories; developing
guidelines for management of occupational exposures
to HIV (in conjunction with NIOSH and EPO); revising the CDC classification system for HIV infection;
developing guidelines for management of occupational exposures to HIV (in conjunction with NIOSH
and CPS); developing guidelines to protect healthcare workers from TB while treating AIDS patients
(in conjunction with NIOSH and CPS); revising
guidelines for HIV counseling and testing in healthcare facilities (in conjunction with CPS and PHPPO);
and publishing guidelines on AIDS/HIV home health
care (in conjunction with EPO).
CID programs related to Goal 4 are designed to
strengthen national and international prevention
capacity to deal with the AIDS/HIV pandemic,
including: assisting the Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
in developing and evaluating OSHA compliance inspections (in conjunction with NIOSH); sponsoring
or co-sponsoring national and regional workshops and
conferences to foster information exchange and planning appropriate future strategies; providing
technical support to USAID for HIV projects (in conjunction with IHPO, CCDPHP, and CPS); collaborating with the WHO through assignment of
CDC personnel to international activities to prevent
HIV infection (in conjunction with IHPO and
CCDPHP); providing scientific, managerial, and
technical assistance to WHO, PAHO, other countries, and other international organizations; developing and conducting an international course in applied
epidemiology of AIDS/HIV (in conjunction with
PHPPO, NAIEP, and CPS); and sponsoring or cosponsoring international workshops and conferences
with multilateral/bilateral agencies to exchange information and plan appropriate future strategies.
CID FY '91 Extramural HIV Funding
Approximately 67% of the CID's FY '91 HIV funding will be spent extramurally.
As in the case of CPS, a portion of CID's extramural monies are directed to state and local health
agencies to perform specific tasks related to HIV
surveillance and epidemiology.
In addition to funds which are awarded to state and
local agencies, CID funds are also directed to other
institutions and organizations for the purpose of

epidemiological studies. Research may be conducted
related to such issues as: HIV transmission among

family members; HIV in adolescents and young
adults; HIV in blood donors; HIV among prostitutes;
HIV in pediatric populations; heterosexual transmission-associated HIV infection; and HIV in male
prisoners. Sentinel studies -including hospitals,
newborns, and STD clinics-intended to gather
specific surveillance and epidemiologic data are also
managed by CID.

Center for Chronic Disease
Prevention and
Health Promotion
The Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and
Health Promotion (CCDPHP) participates in the
following programs related to the overall CDC's HIV
operational goals. CCDPHP FY 1991 appropriated
AIDS/HIV funding is $50,138,868.
CCDPHP's activities related to Goal 1 of CDC's
AIDS/HIV strategy are focused on surveillance,
including: collecting and analyzing data on HIVrelated knowledge, beliefs, and behaviors through the
National Health Interview Survey and state-based
Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (in conjunction with NCHS); collaborating with relevant
organizations/agencies to conduct annual national,
state, and local probability surveys to monitor HIVrelated knowledge, beliefs, and behaviors among high
school students; and using HIV seroprevalence and
surveillance data to evaluate and target prevention
activities (in conjunction with CPS).
Goal 2-related activities involve prevention program design, support, and evaluation, including: supporting HIV education programs aimed at school- and
college-aged youth, both in and out of school (in conjunction with CPS); evaluating health-care costs
associated with use of family planning services for
the prevention of HIV infection among women and
infants; planning behavioral research to evaluate
effectiveness of specific HIV education programs;
and collaborating with state and local education
departments to conduct formative evaluations of pro
grams, including teacher training, curricula, and
teaching activities.
