Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, announced a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Service Delivery Programs in Haiti under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)" (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA GH21 2112). The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, meaning CDC expects to remain substantially involved through ongoing collaboration, technical guidance, and programmatic oversight as recipients carry out activities. The opportunity falls under CFDA 93.067 and was opened on January 8, 2021, with an original application deadline of March 9, 2021 (applications due by 11:59 p.m. ET). Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, so a wide range of organizations could apply, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full notice.
For funding, the notice states an approximate total of $25,000,000 anticipated for the first year, contingent on the availability of funds, and an expectation of up to four awards. A notable detail is that the "Award Ceiling for Year 1" is listed as $0 (none). In practice, that language indicates the notice does not set a maximum cap per individual award for the first budget period, rather than meaning no money is available; the overall anticipated Year 1 funding level is still provided, and final award sizes would depend on CDC decisions, applicant budgets, and program design.
Programmatically, the grant is designed to support the Government of Haiti (GOH) strategic plans for HIV and tuberculosis (TB) service delivery, aligning with broader PEPFAR goals. The focus is on delivering comprehensive HIV prevention, care, and treatment services to move Haiti closer to HIV epidemic control. The service delivery model described in the notice emphasizes finding people living with HIV, linking them quickly to treatment, keeping them on treatment, and routinely monitoring clinical outcomes, including viral load, to ensure treatment success and reduce onward transmission.
Key required activities include identifying HIV-positive adults and children through provider-initiated testing and counseling (PITC) in health facilities, complemented by community-based HIV testing and counseling paired with prompt linkage to antiretroviral therapy. Once people are on treatment, recipients are expected to strengthen treatment adherence monitoring, apply differentiated service delivery approaches that make it easier for stable patients to remain in care (and help higher-risk patients receive more intensive support), and ensure routine clinical follow-up and viral load monitoring. These elements together reflect the standard public health pathway of diagnosis, rapid initiation, retention, and viral suppression, which is the core of PEPFAR-supported epidemic control strategies.
Beyond direct services, the notice places strong emphasis on clinical technical assistance and continuous quality improvement (CQI). Recipients are expected to help improve the quality of HIV/TB services at multiple levels, including facility and community service points as well as departmental and national systems. The technical assistance package described includes clinical mentoring, on-the-spot coaching, and targeted trainings for health care workers, with a specific intent to increase task shifting where appropriate. The notice also highlights support for routine monitoring of national guidelines for HIV/TB service delivery, suggesting recipients will help standardize implementation, track adherence to protocols, and address gaps through supportive supervision and performance improvement.
Geographically, implementation is planned across ten administrative departments in Haiti, with flexibility to adjust the focus areas as the epidemic evolves. The notice also calls for targeted service delivery for specific priority populations, including adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) and orphans and vulnerable children (OVC), reflecting PEPFAR's emphasis on addressing groups with heightened vulnerability and distinct prevention and care needs.
Collaboration and local partnership are built into the expectations. Recipients are instructed to work with faith and community leaders, departmental health teams, and local associations of people living with HIV (PLHIV). This reflects an intent to strengthen community trust, reduce stigma, improve uptake of testing and treatment, and ensure services are better integrated with local health governance structures. Overall, the opportunity is structured to combine direct HIV case finding and treatment support with health system strengthening and quality improvement, all aligned with GOH priorities and PEPFAR performance expectations for HIV and TB service delivery in Haiti.
