Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Program Expansion Supplement: Support for Strengthening and Expanding HIV/AIDS Surveillance Activities in SA under PEPFAR" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH11 11540501SUPP16), is a CDC cooperative agreement designed as a targeted expansion supplement rather than a broad, open-ended new program. It sits within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), under CFDA 93.067, and is positioned within the broader PEPFAR-supported response to HIV/AIDS in South Africa. The context driving the supplement is the scale and complexity of South Africa's epidemics: the country had an estimated 6.4 million adults and children living with HIV in 2012, and it also carries one of the world's highest tuberculosis burdens, including rising multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant TB. Even with substantial progress from years of scale-up, the CDC notes that continued improvements in service delivery and health system capacity are still necessary to maintain quality and reach epidemic control, a need reinforced by a large national TB and HIV program review conducted in 2013 that highlighted persistent system and quality challenges.
The core purpose of the funding is to provide additional resources to an existing CDC-South Africa partner so they can expand and complete a specific surveillance effort: the population-level HIV incidence Provincial Surveillance System (HIPSS) project. The work is focused on generating robust, population-representative data through a household-based sample of men and women living in two sub-district areas, Vulindlela and Greater Edendale, within the uMgungundlovu municipality of KwaZulu-Natal. In practical terms, the supplement is meant to strengthen and finalize an incidence surveillance platform that can better quantify new HIV infections and related population-level indicators in a high-burden setting. By emphasizing a household-based representative sample, the opportunity signals a focus on data that reflects community-level realities, including people who may not be consistently captured in clinic-based reporting systems. This type of surveillance is intended to support better program decision-making by clarifying where transmission is occurring, which groups are most affected, and how prevention and treatment efforts are performing over time.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on August 5, 2016, with an original closing date of October 4, 2016, and required electronic submission by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The award ceiling is $3,500,000, with the CDC expecting to make a single award, reinforcing that this is a supplement aimed at one partner rather than a competitive multi-award program. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with clarification to be provided in the additional eligibility text, but the narrative description makes clear that the funds are intended for an existing CDC-South Africa partner, meaning it is effectively designed to extend and complete ongoing CDC-supported surveillance activities rather than to bring in brand-new implementers. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a focused investment in strengthening HIV incidence surveillance in a specific high-priority geography, with the larger goal of improving the evidence base needed to guide South Africa's HIV/TB response under PEPFAR as the country works toward epidemic control.
