Opportunity Summary:
This FY12 funding opportunity (DHAPP BAA 12-001) is a U.S. Department of Defense grant and cooperative agreement program focused on reducing the impact of HIV/AIDS within foreign military populations in countries where the military is not supported through PEPFAR funding. The program is managed through the DoD HIV/AIDS Prevention Program (DHAPP), headquartered at the Naval Health Research Center (NHRC) in San Diego under the oversight of the Navy Surgeon General, which serves as the DoD Executive Agent for this work. The central premise is that military forces are often a higher-risk population due to factors like mobility, deployment patterns, age and gender dynamics, and potential barriers to routine health access, so targeted, military-specific prevention, care, and treatment programming can have outsized public health and readiness benefits.
The grant emphasizes international partnership and coordination rather than stand-alone projects. DHAPP positions itself as part of a broader U.S. Government and global HIV response network, working alongside agencies such as the Department of State, HHS, USAID, and CDC, and collaborating with combatant commands, UNAIDS, universities, and nongovernmental organizations. Even though this specific BAA is designed for non-PEPFAR-funded military settings, it still expects alignment with national HIV strategies and, where relevant, PEPFAR norms and technical direction so that activities complement in-country plans and avoid duplication. The overall intent is to help partner militaries establish or strengthen sustainable HIV/AIDS programs that they can ultimately own and maintain.
Program design under this opportunity is described as a structured, consultative process. DHAPP and partners are expected to meet with key in-country stakeholders to identify priority program areas and technical assistance needs, then tailor support based on an assessment of the country epidemic and the specific drivers and patterns of HIV risk within that country’s military. A major theme is capacity strengthening over the long term: building military leadership buy-in, improving policies and plans of action, and establishing systems that encourage enduring behavior change and service-led program management. Applicants are expected to leverage existing successful efforts and assets from other partners when possible, align interventions with national implementation plans, and put monitoring in place to ensure accountability, measurable results, and sustainability.
In terms of what activities are encouraged, the opportunity highlights a broad prevention, care, and treatment package with a strong emphasis on preventing sexual transmission and improving linkages across the care continuum. Priority prevention approaches include voluntary counseling and testing, STI prevention and management, evidence-based behavioral interventions, reducing concurrent sexual partnerships, prevention and care of opportunistic infections, medical male circumcision where appropriate, efforts to change harmful male normative behaviors, and prevention campaigns tailored to military contexts. It also calls out prevention of mother-to-child transmission, framed primarily around behavior change, counseling and testing, diagnosis, and ensuring effective referrals and linkages to care and support services. Another explicit focus area is stigma reduction related to HIV infection, recognizing stigma as a major barrier to testing, treatment adherence, and retention in care in hierarchical environments like the military.
The announcement also places heavy weight on surveillance and health system infrastructure, reflecting the need for militaries to have credible data and operational capacity to manage HIV as a readiness and public health issue. It specifically references HIV/STI/tuberculosis surveillance, prevalence surveys, laboratory support, monitoring and evaluation systems, training, and strategic information management. Capacity building is framed not as an add-on but as a core deliverable, with sustainability by the partner country as a recurring expectation. In practical terms, this means helping militaries build the policies, trained workforce, lab and reporting capability, and program management skills needed to run ongoing prevention and care programs after external support decreases.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted January 27, 2012, with an original closing date of September 30, 2013, and later dates indicating it was ultimately archived in December 2012 (with a current closing date listed as November 15, 2012 in the source text). The CFDA number is 12.350 (Department of Defense HIV/AIDS Prevention Program). Awards were projected within a funding range from $30,000 (floor) to $290,000 (ceiling), and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument types include cooperative agreements, grants, procurement contracts, and related discretionary mechanisms, suggesting DHAPP anticipated different levels of government involvement depending on the project and partner capacity.
Eligibility is broad and oriented toward organizational applicants rather than individuals. Eligible applicants include state and local governments (including counties, cities/townships, special districts, and independent school districts), tribal governments and tribal organizations, public housing authorities, nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) organizations and certain nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), public and private institutions of higher education, for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profits), and similar entities. Individuals are explicitly ineligible. The listed agency is Naval Supply Systems Command, with a designated grants officer contact (Latrice Rubenstein) for access issues and administrative questions.
Taken together, the opportunity is best understood as a DoD-led, military-to-military health security and public health capacity initiative: it funds and guides practical, evidence-informed HIV prevention, care, and treatment programming inside partner-country military systems, prioritizes leadership ownership and stigma reduction, and expects rigorous monitoring, surveillance, and sustainable institutional capacity rather than short-term standalone service delivery.
