The following programs have due dates that fall between October 1 - 25, 2013, and these dates are being revised due to the Federal
government shutdown. These revised dates apply whether the proposal is being submitted via the NSF FastLane System or
Grants.gov. Due to compressed proposal deadlines resulting from the shutdown, proposers are advised that they may experience a
delay when contacting IT Help Central with technical support questions. Frequently asked questions regarding these date changes
are available on the Resumption of Operations page on the NSF website at: http://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/policy/postshutdown.jsp.
The purpose of this FOA is to support a more efficient method for jurisdictions to de-duplicate the National HIV Surveillance System. The applicant will develop a privacy data-sharing tool capable of identifying potential duplicates across jurisdictions. Activities will include acquiring a Security Assessment and Authorization, negotiating with the 59 jurisdictions to obtain their participation, providing a data sharing tool that will allow for secure, encrypted submission and matching of person-level HIV surveillance data, and providing a report back to jurisdictions on matching levels.
