Opportunity Summary:

This FY11 funding opportunity, issued under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), seeks partners to help selected military forces conduct an independent HIV Seroprevalence and Behavioral Epidemiology Risk Survey (SABERS). In practical terms, the government is looking for organizations that can design and carry out a survey effort that measures HIV prevalence (seroprevalence testing) alongside behavioral and epidemiological risk factors within military populations. The goal is to generate credible, actionable data that can guide HIV prevention and service delivery strategies for troops and related communities.

The announcement is structured as a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) and is intended both to engage existing partners and to bring in new implementers with the right technical and operational capacity. Proposals are expected to spell out a clear plan and demonstrate capability consistent with the solicitation's application instructions (referenced as Section IV in the full notice). A central theme is speed and practicality: applicants are encouraged to focus on rapidly extending HIV/AIDS services and to propose a workable business plan that targets specific needs. The notice also signals a preference for approaches that build local capacity and sustainability, including the use of smaller, grassroots organizations to deliver community-based services that strengthen "organic" in-country capabilities over time rather than relying solely on outside support.

Geographically, the BAA covers seven countries: the Democratic Republic of Congo, Liberia, Malawi, Mali, Sierra Leone, South Africa, and Vietnam. The activity focus is identified as HVOP or HVSI (as stated in the announcement), and the funding is provided under CFDA 12.350, associated with the Department of Defense HIV/AIDS Prevention Program. While the administering entity listed is the Naval Supply Systems Command, the program framing is clearly aligned with PEPFAR priorities around surveillance, prevention planning, and targeted service expansion in high-need settings, particularly as they relate to military populations.

Awards under this opportunity range from $100,000 to $700,000, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity allows for multiple federal funding instruments, including cooperative agreements, grants, procurement contracts, and potentially other arrangements as specified in the full text. The posting date was January 18, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 30, 2012, and the opportunity was archived on October 30, 2012, indicating it is no longer open but remains relevant as a historical reference for similar future solicitations.

Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations and governmental entities, such as nonprofits (with or without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses are explicitly included, and small businesses are also listed), tribal governments and tribal organizations, state and local governments, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, independent school districts, and institutions of higher education (both private and public/state-controlled). Individuals are explicitly ineligible to receive awards. For applicants that had trouble accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was a grants officer, Latrice Rubenstein, with a phone number provided in the notice.
