Opportunity Information: Apply for ID IDP 23 001
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health and its Office of Infectious Disease and HIV/AIDS Policy (OIDP), offered a discretionary cooperative agreement funding opportunity focused on accelerating progress toward hepatitis C elimination by improving how quickly and reliably people are connected to treatment. The grant is designed to support a real-world intervention plus a formal evaluation that shows whether a streamlined "linkage to care" approach can move people from high-prevalence settings into hepatitis C treatment more effectively than usual practice. In plain terms, the government is looking to fund a project that does more than provide services; it must also generate credible evidence about what works, for whom, and under what conditions, and then package those lessons so others can replicate them.
The core purpose of the initiative, funded under the Public Health Service Evaluation Fund, is to implement and evaluate hepatitis C community navigation and linkage-to-care interventions. The interventions OIDP is most interested in are ones that can measurably increase hepatitis C treatment rates and, by doing so, reduce ongoing transmission. A major emphasis is equity: the project should help reduce hepatitis C disparities and ultimately lower hepatitis C-related liver cancer and mortality among people who are disproportionately affected by viral hepatitis. The opportunity explicitly highlights that high-prevalence entry points for engagement may include settings such as correctional facilities or harm reduction programs, which often serve populations with elevated hepatitis C risk and significant barriers to care.
A key expectation is partnership and dissemination. The recipient is expected to work closely with community partners to implement the intervention and evaluate it, rather than operating in isolation. In addition to producing evaluation findings, the project must develop practical resources that can be shared with a broad range of stakeholders, suggesting deliverables that translate evidence into usable tools for programs, health systems, and community-based organizations. This makes the award both an implementation project and a knowledge-building effort intended to inform wider hepatitis C elimination strategies.
Administratively, the opportunity is titled "Evaluation of linkage to care programs in support of hepatitis C elimination" (Funding Opportunity Number: ID IDP 23 001) and uses a cooperative agreement mechanism, which generally indicates substantial federal involvement during the project period (for example, collaboration on evaluation design, monitoring, or dissemination). It falls under the health funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 93.343. Eligible applicants are broad and include state, county, and local governments; tribal governments and tribal organizations; public housing authorities; public and private institutions of higher education; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status; for-profit organizations (including small businesses); and special district governments and independent school districts. The opportunity was created on June 16, 2023, with an original application deadline of August 2, 2023, requiring electronic submission by 6:00 pm Eastern Time. The award ceiling was $440,000, and HHS anticipated making one award, signaling a single, relatively focused demonstration and evaluation project rather than a multi-site grant program.Apply for ID IDP 23 001
