Opportunity Summary:

This grant opportunity, titled "Clinical and Public Health Curriculum Development, Training and Information Systems Support for the Haiti Health Care System under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," is a U.S. government funding announcement focused on strengthening Haiti's health care system through workforce development and better health information systems, with an emphasis aligned to PEPFAR priorities. It is administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically listed under the agency name HHS-CDC-HHSCDCERA. The overall intent is to support efforts that improve clinical and public health training, develop or update curricula, and enhance the systems used to collect, manage, and use health data, all of which are key building blocks for effective HIV prevention, care, and treatment services and broader public health performance.

The opportunity is categorized as a "Continuation" funding opportunity, which generally indicates it is meant to continue an existing project, program, or previously funded line of work rather than compete a brand-new initiative from scratch. The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the CDC is expected to have substantial involvement in the work beyond standard grant oversight. In practice, that often includes close collaboration on technical direction, coordination with national stakeholders, aligning deliverables with U.S. government and host-country strategies, and monitoring progress against program targets. The activity category is Health, and the listing includes CFDA number 93.067, which corresponds to CDC activities commonly associated with HIV-related public health programming under PEPFAR.

The substantive scope suggested by the title centers on three connected areas. First is clinical and public health curriculum development, which can include creating, updating, standardizing, and disseminating training materials for pre-service and in-service education. This could span HIV clinical management, prevention services, laboratory practices, infection control, maternal and child health interfaces, and broader public health competencies like surveillance and outbreak response, depending on the needs identified in Haiti's system. Second is training, which implies implementing those curricula through structured programs for clinicians, nurses, laboratorians, community health workers, public health practitioners, and managers, potentially using train-the-trainer models, mentoring, supervision, and competency-based assessments to ensure training translates into improved service delivery. Third is information systems support, which points to strengthening the data backbone used to run health programs. That can include improving reporting workflows, data quality, interoperability, analytics capacity, and use of information for decision-making at facility, district, and national levels. Within the PEPFAR context, this often ties to monitoring HIV testing, linkage to care, treatment initiation, viral load monitoring, retention, and overall program performance, while also supporting the broader health system.

Eligibility is listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which signals that eligibility rules were defined in the full announcement but are not included in the excerpt provided. In many CDC cooperative agreements, eligible applicants can include non-profits, universities, NGOs, and other organizations with demonstrated capacity, particularly those already engaged with the relevant country programs, but the exact eligible entity types and any restrictions would be spelled out in the full eligibility section of the notice.

In terms of timing and competitiveness, the announcement was created and posted on January 27, 2016, with an original and current closing date of March 29, 2016. The notice indicates an expectation of one award, which suggests a single implementing partner or a primary recipient coordinating the work. The listed award ceiling is "0," which typically means the ceiling was not specified in this data extract or was to be determined based on continuation funding levels and approved budgets, rather than implying no funding. The funding opportunity number is RFA GH 13 00604CONT16, which also reinforces that this is a continuation action associated with an existing global health (GH) funding line and a particular continuation year or cycle.

Overall, this opportunity is best understood as CDC/PEPFAR support aimed at improving the quality, consistency, and sustainability of Haiti's health workforce training and the information systems that enable effective HIV and public health program management. By investing in curricula, training delivery, and data systems, the cooperative agreement is positioned to help health services operate more reliably, support better clinical outcomes, and strengthen public health capacity in a way that aligns with PEPFAR goals and Haiti's health system needs.
