Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Expansion and Strengthening of Clinic Based HIV Related Services in Haiti under the Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)" is a CDC cooperative agreement designed to strengthen and expand integrated clinical HIV services in Haiti while building long-term local capacity. The central aim is to build on two existing platforms at the same time: PEPFAR-supported HIV programming and CDC-supported maternal and child health efforts. Rather than creating a parallel system, the funding is meant to reinforce a connected network of Haitian health facilities so they can deliver consistent, high-quality services and increasingly sustain those services through local leadership, ownership, and systems that last.
The program focuses on supporting a defined network of five primary institutions and their satellite sites across two departments: the Northeast Department (Centre de Sante de Mont Organis, Trou du Nord, Terrier Rouge, and Mombin Crochu) and the West Department (Centre de Sante de Petite Place Cazeau). Applicants are expected to treat these facilities as a single service delivery network and propose practical strategies that strengthen coordination, standardize quality, and improve patient outcomes across all sites. The work is intended to be carried out in collaboration with the Northeast Department Health Directorate, aligning the project with Haitian public health leadership and with broader US Government partnership commitments with the Government of Haiti.
Program activities described in the announcement cover four major service areas. First, the grant supports expanded and improved HIV prevention and care, including stronger HIV testing and counseling (HTC), improved prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) services, and broader HIV clinical care that includes prevention and treatment of opportunistic infections. This area also emphasizes better TB/HIV integration and stronger laboratory services across participating facilities, recognizing that reliable diagnostics and lab monitoring are foundational to effective HIV and TB care. Second, the grant prioritizes strengthening antiretroviral therapy (ART) services across all five institutions, with particular attention to early ART initiation, adherence monitoring, and retention in treatment. In practice, this means improving how quickly eligible patients start therapy, putting systems in place to track missed visits and treatment interruptions, and strengthening follow-up and counseling so patients can stay on medication and achieve viral suppression.
Third, the opportunity calls for strengthening and expanding tuberculosis prevention, diagnosis, and treatment capacity. A key feature mentioned is the use of directly observed therapy (DOT), reflecting an intent to improve treatment completion and reduce drug resistance by supporting structured adherence approaches. This TB component is designed to work alongside HIV services, which is especially important given the heightened risk and clinical complexity of TB among people living with HIV. Fourth, the FOA includes improving primary care services with a focus on maternal and child health (MCH). This ties back to CDC-supported MCH programs and reflects an integrated clinic model where HIV services are not isolated, but embedded in broader primary care, especially for pregnant women, infants, and children who benefit from coordinated antenatal, delivery, postpartum, and pediatric services.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning the CDC is likely to have substantial programmatic involvement in implementation compared with a more hands-off grant. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an award ceiling of $1,600,000, and it did not require cost sharing or matching. It was posted on September 11, 2014, and closed on November 1, 2014, with an archive date of December 1, 2014. The CFDA number listed is 93.067 (Global AIDS), placing it within the broader federal assistance framework for international HIV/AIDS work.
Eligibility was broad and included many categories of organizations that could serve as implementing partners. Eligible applicants included government entities (such as ministries of health and state or local governments and their agents), tribal governments and tribal organizations, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, research institutions conducting non-research activities, colleges and universities, community-based and faith-based organizations, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), hospitals, and small, minority-, and women-owned businesses, along with other eligible organizations as further clarified in the full announcement. For applicants needing access help or administrative guidance, the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section was listed as the point of contact (pgotim@cdc.gov, 770-488-2700).
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted investment in clinic-based service quality, integration, and durability across a specific Haitian facility network. The emphasis on early ART initiation, retention, TB DOT capacity, lab strengthening, and MCH-focused primary care shows a practical, patient-centered approach: improve the full pathway from testing to treatment to long-term follow-up, while ensuring the clinics and local institutions have the systems, workforce support, and coordination needed to maintain services over time.
