Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled Department of Defense HIV/AIDS Prevention Program (DHAPP), is a U.S. Department of Defense funding effort administered by the Naval Supply Systems Command to strengthen health information and disease surveillance capacity in countries where DHAPP already supports HIV/AIDS programming. The central focus is a multi-country Health Systems Strengthening project that funds on-the-ground assessments and the deployment of a health and prevention program management information system along with enhanced disease surveillance capabilities. The goal is to help partner countries in resource-limited settings track program performance more effectively and detect potential outbreaks earlier, using practical, scalable public health informatics tools.
The funded work is designed to improve how HIV/AIDS prevention and related public health activities are monitored and managed. The envisioned capability includes better performance tracking for prevention activities, HIV testing, suspected sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and longitudinal patient tracking. Beyond HIV, the effort emphasizes earlier recognition of emerging infectious diseases and improved notification of potential disease outbreaks, particularly in environments where traditional surveillance infrastructure is weak. A key requirement is that the system be open source, adaptable over time as data needs change, and not resource intensive to implement, operate, or maintain, reflecting the realities of low-resource operational contexts.
Applicants are expected to conduct thorough in-country capability and requirements assessments and then support the deployment of surveillance tool(s) tailored to DHAPP-selected locations and needs. This may include tools used for specific functions such as data collection or data analysis, deployed either as standalone solutions or integrated with other components to create end-to-end surveillance capacity. Site visits to DHAPP-identified countries are explicitly included, indicating that implementation is meant to be practical and context-driven rather than purely theoretical or desktop-based.
The award structure indicates federal financial assistance through either a cooperative agreement or a grant, with an anticipated funding range (award floor to ceiling) of $500,000 to $750,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, which lowers the barrier for applicants that may not have substantial non-federal funds to contribute. The opportunity is discretionary and categorized under Department of Defense HIV/AIDS Prevention Program information systems development, with CFDA number 12.350.
A notable feature of the scope is the degree of government direction and oversight. The selected offeror is expected to operate under government guidance, provide technical recommendations, and understand that the government will make final acceptance decisions on deliverables and any follow-on procurement actions. The offeror also has an ongoing duty to disclose known problems, risks, and issues encountered during system development and deployment, especially those that could affect performance or broader project activities. Deliverables must be suitable for government review and approval and should be presented only for the specific environments and conditions where they were intended or tested, which underscores an expectation of disciplined validation and careful representation of capabilities. Work must be conducted in accordance with established laboratory quality assurance procedures, suggesting that data integrity, repeatability, and quality controls are considered important even though this is an informatics and surveillance deployment effort.
The modification highlighted in the announcement requests full proposals for this multi-country Health Systems Strengthening effort by 07 October 2011 for first-round consideration, although the broader posting lists a closing date of September 30, 2011 and an archive date of October 30, 2011, reflecting the administrative timeline of the solicitation and its subsequent update. Eligibility is broad and includes various levels of government (state, county, city/township, special districts), public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status, small businesses, other for-profit organizations, tribal governments and tribal organizations, independent school districts, and public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities. Individuals are explicitly not eligible to receive grants under this opportunity.
In practical terms, this opportunity is aimed at organizations with demonstrated ability to work internationally in public health informatics, conduct field assessments, and deploy maintainable surveillance and program management systems in low-resource settings. Successful applicants would likely need experience integrating data workflows, training or supporting local users, addressing infrastructure limitations (connectivity, hardware, staffing), and designing solutions that can evolve over time without high recurring costs. Questions about the announcement are directed to the named grants officer, Latrice Rubenstein, at the phone number provided in the notice.
