The new FOA provides support in five focus areas. These focus areas are:
- Implementation of community engagement methods (e.g. community-based participatory research) to achieve health equity;
- Identification and implementation of systems and environmental change strategies that (a) promote sexual health and support healthy behaviors and (b) facilitate community-clinical linkages to build support for interventions to prevent and reduce STI disparities;
- Enhancement and sustainability of partnerships;
