Opportunity Summary:
The Defense Health Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHAPPBAA07 002), run under the Department of Defense HIV/AIDS Prevention Program (CFDA 12.350) and administered by the Naval Supply Systems Command, supports international HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment efforts specifically within foreign militaries. Funding is offered through cooperative agreements and grants, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning a wide range of applicant types may apply as long as they meet any additional eligibility details in the full announcement. The opportunity was originally posted on December 20, 2007, with a closing date of February 1, 2008, and archived March 2, 2008.
The core purpose of DHAPP is to maximize real-world impact by helping partner countries and their military institutions build and implement focused, scalable HIV/AIDS programs. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model, DHAPP emphasizes tailoring support to each country based on existing national plans, assessments, and on-the-ground conditions. The program is built around a practical planning cycle: DHAPP and stakeholders meet with key in-country partners to identify major program areas and technical assistance needs; DHAPP then adapts its resources to the country and military context for prevention, care, and/or treatment; and it works to strengthen military capacity so the program becomes locally owned and sustainable over the long term. Where useful, DHAPP may also help design programs alongside other country partners that have demonstrated success in HIV prevention, care, or treatment.
A major theme throughout the opportunity is building military-sector ownership and visible leadership. DHAPP-supported activities are expected to result in clear military support for HIV/AIDS programming, development of military plans of action and policies, and increased awareness across the force. The program stresses that durable progress depends on country ownership of activities, sustained behavior change, and institutionalization of effective practices rather than short-term campaigns.
Programmatic focus areas include prevention of sexual transmission using a combination of interventions such as voluntary counseling and testing, sexually transmitted infection management, behavioral interventions, prevention and care of opportunistic infections, male circumcision, efforts to shift harmful male normative behaviors, and broader prevention campaigns. The opportunity also highlights reducing mother-to-child transmission, and it frames many interventions around behavior change that lowers risk, expands counseling and testing, improves diagnosis and linkage to treatment, and reduces stigma associated with HIV infection. This reflects an approach that combines individual-level services with broader military-community norms and systems.
Another major component is surveillance and infrastructure development. DHAPP encourages programs that build or strengthen HIV, STI, and tuberculosis surveillance; conduct prevalence surveys; improve laboratory capacity; and enhance monitoring and evaluation systems. Training and information management are also emphasized, with the intention of helping militaries track outcomes, demonstrate accountability, and maintain programs after external support decreases. The description also points to the importance of increasing financial resources, indicating an interest in helping partner militaries strengthen resourcing and sustainability as part of long-term program success.
The opportunity notes that DHAPP relies heavily on partnerships, including non-governmental organizations, to implement prevention, care, and treatment programs globally. Each supported country receives a customized plan designed to bring its military HIV/AIDS program to sufficient scale to reduce transmission and mitigate the epidemic's impact. Current priority activities called out in the announcement include training master trainers and peer educators, delivering troop-level HIV/AIDS prevention education and behavior change communication, providing infrastructure and equipment for HIV testing and care/treatment centers, increasing HIV testing among military personnel, developing diagnostic and monitoring laboratory capabilities, improving clinical capacity to care for people living with HIV, and establishing effective monitoring and evaluation methodologies.
