Opportunity Summary:
This CDC cooperative agreement opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS10-10112) was a PEPFAR-supported grant aimed at reducing HIV risk in Ethiopia by funding a comprehensive set of behavioral interventions for three priority groups: the general population, youth, and most-at-risk populations (MARP). The overall idea was to pair culturally grounded communication and community engagement with practical prevention linkages, so that people not only hear accurate HIV information but also act on it through testing, treatment, and STI services. The program was structured to move beyond one-off awareness campaigns and instead build sustained demand for HIV services, strengthen adherence behaviors among people on treatment, and improve how communities connect to supportive services.
A central component of the work involved designing, developing, and disseminating culturally appropriate messages using a multi-channel communications approach. In practice, that meant mass media programming tailored for youth and for people living with HIV (PLHIV), combined with interpersonal and community-based approaches. The announcement specifically highlights peer outreach models, including organizing listening or reading discussion groups. These group formats are typically used to spark conversation, correct misinformation, address stigma, and reinforce social norms that support prevention and care-seeking. Alongside messaging, the package emphasized concrete prevention actions: promoting HIV testing and counseling, encouraging timely initiation and continuation of antiretroviral therapy (ART), and supporting early diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), which can both worsen health outcomes and increase HIV transmission risk if untreated.
ART communication was called out as a distinct focus area, with the purpose of creating demand for quality HIV/AIDS services and improving self-management and self-efficacy for ART adherence. In other words, the communications strategy was expected to do more than encourage people to "take their meds"; it was intended to help individuals understand treatment, navigate services, stay engaged in care, and build confidence and skills to adhere over time. This aligns with PEPFAR priorities that treat adherence and retention as behavioral and systems challenges as much as medical ones, requiring targeted communication, supportive counseling pathways, and community reinforcement.
The opportunity also emphasized service integration and stronger referral systems. Applicants were expected to strengthen referral linkages to services that address alcohol and substance abuse, recognizing that these issues can directly affect sexual risk behaviors, treatment adherence, and engagement in care. In addition, the program placed weight on knowledge management and capacity building. This included strengthening knowledge management skills, developing or supporting an information technology clearinghouse function, and building local implementing capacity through assessments, training, mentorship, and secondment arrangements when needed. Put simply, the grant was designed not only to deliver interventions, but also to leave behind stronger local systems for managing information, coordinating programming, and sustaining quality implementation.
From an administrative standpoint, this was a discretionary funding opportunity under the Health activity category, using a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning CDC would typically expect substantial involvement in program direction, monitoring, or technical support compared to a standard grant. The announcement projected one award with an estimated total funding amount of $10,519,750. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed. The opportunity was posted February 17, 2010, created February 18, 2010, and closed April 19, 2010 (with an archive date of May 19, 2010). The CFDA number associated with it was 93.067 (Global AIDS).
Eligibility was broad and included public and private nonprofit organizations, for-profit entities (including small/minority/women-owned businesses), universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and a range of U.S.-affiliated governmental entities and tribal organizations, as well as non-U.S. (non-domestic) entities. State and local governments could apply directly or through bona fide agents, with documentation required to verify that status. The sponsoring agency was the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the listed contact for access issues was PGO TIMS grants (phone 770-488-2700, general email referenced in the notice).
