Opportunity Summary:
The Department of Defense HIV/AIDS Prevention Program (DHAPP) grant opportunity is a request for partners to help deliver and scale up military focused HIV prevention, care, and treatment services in countries that are not funded through PEPFAR. Managed through the Naval Supply Systems Command, the program is built around the idea that military populations have unique risks and operational realities, so each participating country uses a customized plan designed to bring its armed forces HIV/AIDS activities up to a level that can meaningfully reduce transmission and lessen the broader health and readiness impacts of the epidemic. The announcement is structured as a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) meant both to continue work with existing implementers and to bring in new organizations that can quickly expand services using practical, results oriented implementation plans.
The core program priorities span both prevention and health system strengthening within military settings. On the prevention side, DHAPP emphasizes troop level HIV education and behavior change communication, the training of master trainers and peer educators who can deliver consistent messaging across units, and the evaluation of prevention interventions specifically in military contexts so that approaches are adapted to the realities of military life. The program also highlights male circumcision in high prevalence countries where it is supported as an effective prevention intervention, and it includes prevention and care activities for militaries that contribute significant numbers of peacekeepers, reflecting the added mobility and deployment related risk factors often associated with peacekeeping operations.
On the care, treatment, and enabling systems side, DHAPP prioritizes expanding HIV testing across all military personnel and strengthening the infrastructure needed to sustain testing and clinical services. This includes providing equipment and facility support for HIV testing, care, and treatment; building laboratory diagnostic and monitoring capabilities; and improving clinical capacity and the health workforce required to manage HIV infection effectively over time. DHAPP also places strong weight on institutional capacity building, particularly helping defense and military health systems develop or refine military specific HIV strategic and operational plans that include solid monitoring and evaluation procedures. A related priority is policy development or revision to address leadership roles, harmful gender norms, gender based violence, stigma and discrimination, and other structural barriers that can prevent service members and their families from accessing testing and treatment.
Applicants are expected to propose projects that rapidly extend HIV/AIDS services rather than small pilot efforts that are slow to reach scale. The opportunity explicitly encourages proposals that target specific, clearly defined needs with a practical business plan. It also encourages the use of small grassroots organizations to provide community based services as a way to strengthen local ownership, build organic capability within the country, and improve long term sustainability after external support decreases. In other words, DHAPP is looking for implementers that can show they understand the military environment, can execute quickly, can measure results, and can leave behind stronger systems and policies.
Funding under this announcement can be issued through cooperative agreements, grants, procurement contracts, or similar instruments, depending on the nature of the proposed work. Individual awards range from a floor of $60,000 to a ceiling of $500,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity is open to a broad set of organizational types, including nonprofits (both 501(c)(3) and certain non 501(c)(3) entities), for profit organizations (other than small businesses), small businesses, institutions of higher education (public and private), state and local governments, tribal governments and tribal organizations, public housing authorities, and school districts. Grants cannot be made to individuals.
Key administrative details listed in the notice include Funding Opportunity Number DHAPP BAA 12 002, CFDA 12.350 (Department of Defense HIV/AIDS Prevention Program), and a posted date of February 10, 2012.
