Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Comprehensive HIV Prevention, Care and Treatment for the National Defense Force of Ethiopia (NDFE) under the Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)" is a discretionary cooperative agreement issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS). Posted on February 25, 2013 and originally due on April 17, 2013 (with the same current closing date), this announcement was designed to support a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $7,500,000. The maximum funding level referenced for an award is $1,500,000, with no stated minimum (award floor of $0). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute a set portion of funds as a condition of receiving the award.
The core purpose of the FOA is capacity building: specifically, enabling the National Defense Force of Ethiopia (NDFE) to develop the managerial and technical ability to fully implement comprehensive HIV programming. In practical terms, this frames the award as support for strengthening leadership, systems, and technical competencies so the NDFE can plan, manage, deliver, and sustain a complete package of HIV prevention, care, and treatment services for military personnel. Because the announcement sits under PEPFAR, the intent aligns with broader PEPFAR goals of reducing HIV transmission, improving access to quality treatment, and strengthening health systems for long-term impact, while tailoring services to a military context where personnel mobility, deployment patterns, and operational command structures can affect health service delivery.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. That typically signals that CDC anticipates substantial involvement during implementation, such as technical guidance, collaboration on work planning, performance monitoring, and alignment with PEPFAR program standards and reporting expectations. The activity category is listed as Health, reinforcing that the work is primarily service-delivery and public health program strengthening rather than basic research. The announcement’s description is brief but explicit: it is meant to build NDFE capacity to fully implement comprehensive HIV programs, which generally implies work across the full continuum from prevention (such as education, risk reduction, and related interventions) to HIV testing services, linkage to care, antiretroviral treatment, retention and adherence support, and associated clinical and program management functions. It also implies development of management systems needed to run these services at scale, including program oversight, logistics and supply management, monitoring and evaluation, workforce training and supervision, and coordination within the defense health structure.
Eligibility is effectively restricted. While the opportunity lists eligible applicants as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the eligibility information states that the Ministry of National Defense is the only ministry mandated to lead, manage, and reach all military people deployed throughout. In other words, this is a targeted funding announcement intended for the Ethiopian Ministry of National Defense as the entity with the formal authority and operational reach to implement HIV services across the defense force, including personnel deployed in various locations. That limitation reflects a key practical consideration in military HIV programs: successful coverage depends on access to military sites, integration with command structures, and the ability to provide continuity of services despite deployments and transfers.
Administrative details include the funding opportunity number CDC RFA GH13-1312, an archive date of May 17, 2013, and CDC as the issuing agency. For applicants or parties needing assistance accessing the full announcement, CDC provided contact information for its Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), including a phone number (770-488-2700) and email address (pgotim@cdc.gov).
