Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH13 132205CONT17

This funding opportunity is a continuation cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Center for Global Health, focused on sustaining and expanding comprehensive HIV care and treatment programs in the United Republic of Tanzania under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The stated purpose is to support locally based, indigenous entities in delivering end-to-end HIV service delivery in line with PEPFAR objectives, which typically emphasize diagnosing people living with HIV, rapidly linking them to care, initiating and maintaining antiretroviral therapy (ART), achieving durable viral suppression, and reducing HIV-related illness and deaths. As a continuation opportunity, it is designed for ongoing programming rather than starting a brand-new project from scratch, with an emphasis on maintaining performance, meeting evolving technical expectations, and ensuring continuity of services for patients and communities.

The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, meaning CDC is expected to have substantial involvement beyond simply issuing funds. In practice, this usually includes close collaboration on program planning, implementation support, monitoring and evaluation, quality improvement, and alignment with national strategies and PEPFAR guidance. While the summary provided does not list detailed program components, "comprehensive care and treatment" in a PEPFAR context generally includes clinical HIV services (ART initiation and follow-up, management of advanced HIV disease, opportunistic infection screening and treatment, tuberculosis screening and linkage to TB care, and prevention and management of sexually transmitted infections), laboratory and pharmacy support, adherence and retention interventions, differentiated service delivery models, and patient-centered approaches that address barriers such as stigma, transportation, and continuity of care. Programs often also incorporate routine viral load monitoring and actions to address unsuppressed viral load through enhanced adherence counseling and clinical review.

The opportunity is explicitly oriented toward local indigenous organizations operating in Tanzania, reflecting PEPFAR's broader direction toward local ownership and sustainability. The eligible applicant category is listed as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement, which commonly signals that specific types of local entities or prior recipients may be targeted. The notice indicates an anticipated number of 10 awards, suggesting multiple implementing partners or regional/technical coverage areas. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which typically means the ceiling is not specified in the synopsis and that award amounts are determined based on the approved workplan and available funds, rather than a publicly stated cap.

Administratively, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH13-132205CONT17, categorized as continuation funding, and tied to CFDA 93.067, which corresponds to CDC global health assistance activities. The posting date (creation date) is February 2, 2017, and the original closing date is March 31, 2017. Taken together, these details indicate a time-bound continuation solicitation managed by CDC to support PEPFAR HIV treatment and care programming in Tanzania, implemented by local organizations with CDC technical partnership and oversight, and structured to maintain or improve service delivery outcomes across multiple awards.
