Increasing Access to HIV Prevention, Care and Treatment Services for Key Populations in Mozambique under the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

This funding opportunity, titled "Increasing Access to HIV Prevention, Care and Treatment Services for Key Populations in Mozambique under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," is a U.S. government public health grant aimed at expanding and strengthening HIV-related services for key populations in Mozambique. It is issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically under CDC's Center for Global Health (CGH). The overall focus is on HIV prevention, care, and treatment, with an emphasis on reaching populations that face elevated HIV risk and persistent barriers to accessing health services, which typically include groups such as sex workers, men who have sex with men, people who inject drugs, transgender people, and other marginalized or highly vulnerable communities, depending on local epidemiology and context.

The opportunity is listed as a continuation award, meaning it is intended to continue an existing project or program rather than launch a brand-new initiative competing broadly among many new applicants. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which is distinct from a standard grant because it generally involves substantial involvement by CDC in program implementation, technical guidance, monitoring, and collaboration on strategic and operational decisions. In practice, that structure often means the recipient is expected to work closely with CDC staff and align activities tightly with PEPFAR priorities, national HIV strategies, and established reporting and accountability requirements.

From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number "CDC RFA GH15 156403CONT17" and is categorized under the "Health" funding activity area. It is associated with CFDA number 93.067, which corresponds to CDC's global HIV/AIDS activities and is commonly used for international HIV-related cooperative agreements supported through PEPFAR. The posting indicates an expected number of awards of one, reinforcing that this is likely designed to fund a single implementing partner to carry forward an existing package of services, geographic coverage, or program model.

Eligibility is stated as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)." While the specific additional eligibility language is not included in the provided source data, that phrasing typically indicates eligibility may be limited to certain types of organizations, potentially including existing recipients, organizations with demonstrated in-country capacity, or other entities meeting defined criteria. Interested applicants would normally need to consult the full announcement to confirm whether eligibility is restricted to a current awardee or a small, defined set of partners, which is common for continuation opportunities.

The timeline information shows a creation date of September 27, 2016, with an original closing date of November 30, 2016. These dates define when the funding notice was published and when applications were due. The listing shows an award ceiling of 0, which usually does not mean no funding is available; it more commonly indicates that a specific maximum award amount was not provided in the summarized fields or is determined through internal budgeting, continuation increments, or later negotiation based on available appropriations and approved work plans.

In terms of program intent, the title and description indicate that the core purpose is to increase access to a continuum of HIV services for key populations in Mozambique. That continuum typically includes targeted HIV prevention interventions (such as risk-reduction education and condom and lubricant distribution where appropriate), HIV testing services and linkage to care, rapid initiation of antiretroviral therapy for those diagnosed with HIV, retention and adherence support, and other wraparound approaches that reduce barriers to ongoing treatment. For key populations, increasing access also usually implies addressing stigma, discrimination, confidentiality concerns, and structural obstacles that discourage people from using public services, which can include training providers, establishing KP-friendly service delivery points, and improving referral networks between community outreach and clinical care.

Because the award is under PEPFAR, the program would also be expected to align with PEPFAR's data-driven approach and performance monitoring requirements. That generally involves routine collection and reporting of service delivery data, quality improvement activities, and coordination with national and local health authorities to ensure services are integrated into broader HIV response efforts. Cooperative agreements often emphasize building local capacity and strengthening systems so that services can be sustained and scaled over time, particularly in settings where key populations may be underserved by mainstream health systems.

Overall, this opportunity represents CDC's continued investment, through PEPFAR, in a focused HIV response in Mozambique that prioritizes key populations and aims to improve measurable outcomes across prevention, diagnosis, treatment initiation, and long-term care. The combination of continuation status, a single expected award, and the cooperative agreement mechanism suggests it was structured to maintain program continuity and deepen impact with close CDC technical engagement rather than to create a broad new competition among many unrelated proposals.
