Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a continuation cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). It focuses on strengthening and sustaining comprehensive HIV and tuberculosis (TB) prevention, care, and treatment services, along with broader health systems strengthening, specifically within facilities operated by South Africa's Department of Correctional Services (DCS). The overall intent is to support ongoing program implementation in correctional settings, where HIV and TB burdens are often higher and where continuity of care, infection control, and coordinated service delivery can be especially challenging.
The opportunity is not an open competition. It is explicitly limited to continuation funding for organizations that were already funded under the earlier CDC announcement CDC-RFA-GH13-1336, which carried the same program theme and scope (comprehensive HIV and TB services and systems strengthening in South African correctional facilities). In other words, new applicants should not expect to be eligible unless they were previously awarded under that predecessor funding announcement. The eligibility field is listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the description makes clear that the practical eligible pool is the set of existing grantees from the prior award.
From an administrative standpoint, the award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement in program oversight, technical guidance, monitoring, and collaboration during implementation, rather than operating as a hands-off funder. The activity category is health, and the CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 93.067, which corresponds to CDC global HIV-related assistance administered under PEPFAR frameworks. The opportunity number is CDC RFA GH13 133604CONT17, where the "CONT" element signals continuation.
In terms of timing and scale, the notice was created on September 22, 2016, with an original closing date of November 22, 2016. The posting anticipates up to 10 awards. The listed award ceiling is shown as 0, which in grant listings often indicates that a specific maximum amount per award is not provided in the public summary, may be determined by previously approved budgets for continuation recipients, or is otherwise not captured in the simplified synopsis. Because this is continuation funding, the amounts are commonly tied to the existing project period plans, annual workplans, and progress toward performance targets rather than a newly competed pot of money with a stated cap.
Programmatically, the work supported under this continuation would be expected to maintain and improve integrated HIV and TB services in DCS facilities, which usually includes activities such as HIV testing and linkage to care, antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation and adherence support, TB screening and diagnosis, TB treatment (including drug-resistant TB pathways where relevant), infection prevention and control, and ensuring continuity of treatment when individuals are transferred or released. The "systems strengthening" component signals that the emphasis is not only on direct clinical services, but also on improving the underlying facility and program systems that make those services effective and sustainable, such as data systems and reporting, staff training and mentorship, supply chain support for medications and diagnostics, referral networks, quality improvement processes, and coordination between correctional health services and the broader public health system.
Overall, this opportunity functions as a bridge to keep existing CDC/PEPFAR-supported HIV and TB programming operating and improving within South Africa's correctional facilities, by extending support to the same grantees already responsible for implementation under the earlier CDC-RFA-GH13-1336 award.

13) What does "health systems strengthening" include in this opportunity?
The systems strengthening component emphasizes improving the underlying facility and program systems that make HIV and TB services effective and sustainable.
