What is the overall approach of this funding opportunity?
The overall approach is to implement the following two components.

Component A: National Network to Enhance Strategic Communications, Partnerships, Policy Analysis and Interpretation
This cooperative agreement requires the recipient to actively assist participants in CDC-supported multi-sectoral national and state partnerships, support communication channels, and provide peer-to-peer TA to participants that include state and local HIV prevention, care, and treatment programs, national partners, the community, and other stakeholders. It is important for HIV program staff to understand how policies affect the work they do, and how to effectively communicate their work to others. Moreover, staff in HIV programs need support to better promote the important work being done to prevent new HIV infections. Applicants must propose a program that describes how they will collaborate with CDC and other partners to implement the following strategies and activities.

Component B: Accelerating State and Local HIV Planning to End the HIV Epidemic
Support health departments with Phase 1 jurisdictions to conduct a rapid planning process that engages the community, HIV planning bodies, HIV prevention and care providers, and other partners in aligning resources and activities to develop jurisdictional End the HIV Epidemic plans. This project will support health departments to conduct local collaborative planning for HIV prevention and care programming in alignment with the Ending the HIV Epidemic Initiative. Activities funded under this component may facilitate future implementation activities associated with Phase 1 of the Ending the HIV Epidemic Initiative.
