Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH18 1815
This grant opportunity, titled "Strengthening Public Health Capacity and Guidelines to Implement HIV Programs through Cooperation and Support from the World Health Organization (WHO) under PEPFAR," is a CDC-led cooperative agreement designed to accelerate progress toward global HIV targets by leveraging the World Health Organization's role in setting international health norms and guidance. It sits within the broader international commitment to end the AIDS epidemic by 2030, with specific near-term goals framed around the 90-90-90 targets: 90 percent of people living with HIV knowing their status, 90 percent of those diagnosed receiving antiretroviral treatment, and 90 percent of those on treatment achieving viral suppression. The core idea is that, because PEPFAR resources are limited, achieving and sustaining epidemic control depends heavily on strong technical partnerships and standardized, evidence-based guidance that countries can apply consistently at national and sub-national levels.
The purpose of the funding is to strengthen public health capacity and support the development, adaptation, and implementation of HIV-related guidelines that can help "fast track" HIV programs down to the district level in PEPFAR-supported countries. In practical terms, this emphasizes translating global guidance into workable policies, service delivery standards, and implementation approaches that can be carried out where care actually happens, including in decentralized health systems. The opportunity explicitly builds on the long-standing partnership between CDC and WHO since the beginning of PEPFAR, recognizing WHO's comparative advantage in issuing international guidelines and standards that shape prevention, testing, treatment, and health system practices across countries.
The collaboration areas are aligned with the Joint Strategic Framework governing WHO and PEPFAR cooperation on HIV/AIDS. The main technical domains include HIV prevention; care and treatment scale-up (including expanding access to antiretroviral therapy and improving retention and viral suppression); integrated service delivery (for example, coordinating HIV services with related programs and primary health care platforms); strengthening health systems (such as workforce capacity, quality systems, supply chain and service delivery infrastructure that support sustained HIV responses); strategic information (data systems, monitoring and evaluation, and the use of data for targeting and performance improvement); and direct country support to help PEPFAR-supported countries implement guidance effectively and consistently. Overall, the emphasis is on using WHO-supported norms and technical guidance to improve program quality, consistency, and scale, with the end goal of moving countries closer to epidemic control and the 2030 end-of-AIDS target.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), under Funding Opportunity Number CDC-RFA-GH18-1815. The assistance listing (CFDA) number is 93.067, and the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expects substantial involvement in program direction, technical collaboration, or oversight compared to a standard grant. The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $20,000,000. The notice was created on September 29, 2017, with an original application closing date of November 29, 2017, and electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Eligibility is listed as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement text.
In summary, this opportunity is essentially about using a high-impact partnership model, CDC plus WHO, to strengthen the technical backbone of HIV responses in PEPFAR-supported countries. By improving the development and uptake of guidelines, strengthening public health implementation capacity, and supporting consistent district-level execution across key program areas, the award is intended to speed progress toward the 90-90-90 milestones and, ultimately, contribute to ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030.Apply for CDC RFA GH18 1815
