Opportunity Summary:
The Department of Defense HIV/AIDS Prevention Program (DHAPP) grant opportunity is a U.S. Department of Defense-funded effort to support HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment activities focused specifically on foreign military populations, which are widely recognized as having elevated risk due to mobility, deployment patterns, age and gender demographics, and potential exposure to high-risk environments. The program is managed through the Naval Health Research Center (NHRC) in San Diego, operating under the oversight of the Navy Surgeon General, and serves as the DoD Executive Agent for coordinating and delivering HIV-related support to partner nation militaries. DHAPP has a substantial global footprint, having worked with more than 80 countries, and it positions military-to-military engagement as a practical channel for implementing public health interventions and strengthening national capacity within defense sectors.
A central theme of the opportunity is alignment with the broader U.S. Government global HIV strategy, especially the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). DHAPP is described as a partner organization within PEPFAR, working alongside the U.S. Department of State, Health and Human Services, USAID, and CDC. The opportunity emphasizes coordination rather than duplication: applicants funded under this announcement are expected to understand and integrate with existing in-country PEPFAR and military HIV activities, avoid creating parallel systems, and ensure their work does not conflict with national strategies or established implementation plans. This is especially important in countries operating under PEPFAR Partnership Frameworks, which are multi-year (five-year) strategic agreements outlining how the U.S. Government and host nations will share responsibilities to meet HIV/AIDS goals.
The announcement highlights a set of Phase I Partnership Framework countries where coordination is particularly important: Ghana, Lesotho, Swaziland (now Eswatini), Dominican Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, Malawi, Nigeria, Rwanda, Tanzania, Namibia, and Ukraine, plus a Caribbean Regional Partnership Framework covering Barbados, Bahamas, Belize, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Suriname, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and St Vincent and the Grenadines. In many of these settings, the Ministry of Defense and the U.S. DoD are expected to play a meaningful role in shaping and executing HIV programs within the defense sector. Awardees working in these locations are encouraged to connect with the designated military Partnership Framework point of contact so activities are synchronized with national and defense-sector plans.
Programmatically, DHAPP frames its approach around tailoring support to the specific drivers of each country’s epidemic, with an added focus on military-specific realities. The process described in the announcement begins with meeting key partners in-country to identify priority program areas and technical assistance needs, followed by adapting interventions based on assessment of the national epidemic and the situation within the military. The program stresses long-term capacity building and ownership, aiming for durable behavioral change and institutionalization of effective policies and practices within the armed forces. It also encourages leveraging existing successful efforts by other partners rather than reinventing systems, and it places strong emphasis on implementation, monitoring, accountability, and sustainability.
The types of activities DHAPP expects to support cover the full spectrum of HIV prevention and related enabling systems. On prevention, the announcement calls out reducing sexual transmission through voluntary counseling and testing, prevention and management of sexually transmitted infections, behavioral interventions, reduction of concurrent partnerships, prevention and care for opportunistic infections, male circumcision where appropriate, efforts to shift harmful male normative behaviors, and prevention campaigns tailored to military audiences. It also includes prevention of mother-to-child transmission, while clarifying that the primary emphasis is on behavior change, counseling, testing, diagnosis, and strong linkages to care and support. Beyond direct services, DHAPP prioritizes stigma reduction, recognizing that stigma can undermine testing uptake, treatment adherence, and readiness for military members and their families.
A major pillar of the opportunity is strengthening surveillance and infrastructure so partner militaries can manage HIV programs with quality data and reliable systems. The announcement highlights HIV/STI/tuberculosis surveillance, prevalence surveys, laboratory support, monitoring and evaluation, training, and strategic information management. This reflects an expectation that projects will not only deliver activities, but also improve the host military’s ability to track outcomes, manage programs, and make evidence-based decisions over time. Capacity building and sustainability are recurring expectations, with the partner country encouraged to progressively own and maintain the work beyond the period of U.S. support.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant opportunity administered under CFDA 12.350 (Department of Defense HIV/AIDS Prevention Program). It was posted April 29, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 30, 2011, and an archive date of October 30, 2011. The funding instrument is a grant, eligibility is listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full announcement), and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement specified. The notice lists the Naval Supply Systems Command as the agency and provides a point of contact for access issues: Latrice Rubenstein, Grants Officer, 619-532-4357, latrice.rubenstein@navy.mil. The award floor and ceiling are shown as 0, which typically signals that award sizes may vary and are defined through the specific proposals, available funding, and program priorities rather than a fixed range in the synopsis.
