REQUESTING CBA/ OUR SERVICES

Any agency implementing an effective behavioral HIV prevention intervention (DEBI) is entitled to CBA services free of charge.

An agency is allowed to place one CBA request at a time for each DEBI, CRCS (previously PCM), and CTR program. However, an agency is allowed to submit multiple CBA requests if more than one HIV prevention Program is concurrently being implemented.

CBA services are requested by Focus Areas 1, 2, 3, and 4 as described below. Don't worry if you miscategorize your request because your CDC project officer and Acción Mutua will direct you to the most appropriate provider.

Areas of technical assistance offered by CRIS:

1. Infrastructure Development
2. Intervention Implementation & Evaluation
3. Structural HIV prevention models
4. Community Planning

Eligible Users:

• If your program is funded directly by the CDC, discuss your need for CBA services with your CDC project officer and make your request through the CBA Request Information System (CRIS) at www.cdc.gov/hiv/cba.
• If your program is funded by your state or local Health Department (HD), place your request through your HD representative (contract manager).
• If your program is not funded by either the CDC or the HD (i.e. private of other sources), you can place the request through your local HD or through a CBA provider (e.g. Acción Mutua/Shared Action).

If you do not belong to one of the groups above, contact your Health Department or CBA provider to make a request.
