NAIEP FY '91
Extramural HIV Funding
Approximately 89% of NAIEP's FY '91 HIV
budget will be spent extramurally. The bulk of this
spending involves contracts covering the ARTA campaign development and marketing, management of
the National AIDS Clearinghouse and management

of the National AIDS Hotline.

NAIEP's grant-related extramural spending includes a program titled National Partnerships
Development Activity. One cooperative agreement
program funds a variety of types of national organizations for HIV information, education and prevention
programs. The objectives are to influence a variety
of key segments of society that HIV prevention is
critical to the nation's health and that everyone must
be involved in prevention and service. Eleven
national organizations are funded under this programfocused on specific population segments such as
business leaders, religious leaders, educators, broadcasters, union members, etc. -with total annual funding at approximately $900,000.
NAIEP also funds the American Red Cross National HIV/AIDS Education Program, which targets
the general public, youth, racial and ethnic minorities,
and the workplace. Under this program a number of
national education programs and materials have been
developed which are accessible through local Red
Cross chapters or from the national office. In addition, some subgrants are provided for under the grant
for local AIDS education programs involving collaboration between local chapters and other local
organizations, particularly racial and ethnic minority organizations. See Appendix C for information on
finding out more about these subgrants. The total annual funding for this NAIEP grant is approximately
$6,000,000.
A new NAIEP grant program, initiated in FY '91,
will provide funding of approximately $1,500,000 to
museums of science and industry for HIV-education
exhibits. Some matching requirements exist under
this program.
