Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity, listed as DHAPP BAA 13-001, is a U.S. Department of Defense grant and cooperative agreement announcement for FY13-FY14 under the Department of Defense HIV/AIDS Prevention Program (DHAPP). It is aimed specifically at supporting military-focused HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment activities in countries that are not funded through PEPFAR (the Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief). The central purpose is to increase public health impact by concentrating on the factors that drive HIV transmission and poor HIV outcomes in military populations, and by helping partner-country militaries build practical, durable programs that they can ultimately manage and sustain themselves.
The program description emphasizes a structured, country-tailored planning approach rather than a one-size-fits-all package. DHAPP expects implementers to work with key in-country partners to identify the most important program areas and technical assistance needs, then adapt activities to the local epidemic and, more narrowly, to the realities of HIV within that country’s military. A major theme is long-term capacity and ownership: proposals should strengthen military institutions so they can drive behavior change and program management over time. DHAPP also encourages program design that leverages what is already working, including coordination with other partners in the country who have demonstrated successful prevention, care, or treatment models. Activities are expected to align with national HIV/AIDS strategies and implementation plans, and to include implementation and monitoring systems that support accountability, measurable results, and sustainability.
DHAPP signals what it considers strong military HIV programs by listing core elements it expects to see reflected in proposed courses of action. These include visible leadership support from the military sector, clear plans of action and policy development, and alignment with Combatant Command (COCOM) blueprints alongside national strategies and priorities. Proposals should also address raising HIV awareness within the military, and demonstrate genuine military ownership of the activities rather than purely external management. In practical terms, DHAPP is looking for interventions that are relevant to military contexts, where deployment patterns, mobility, age and gender dynamics, and access to services can shape risk and service uptake.
On prevention, the announcement highlights reducing sexual transmission as a central focus. Priority interventions include voluntary counseling and testing; prevention, diagnosis, and management of sexually transmitted infections; behavioral interventions; efforts to reduce concurrent sexual partnerships; prevention and care of opportunistic infections; male circumcision where appropriate; initiatives to shift harmful male normative behaviors; and targeted prevention campaigns. It also references reducing mother-to-child transmission, while underscoring that the primary emphasis across interventions is behavior change supported by counseling, testing, diagnosis, and strong linkages into care and support services. The opportunity further calls out stigma reduction as an important enabling objective, recognizing stigma as a barrier to testing, disclosure, and retention in care.
Beyond direct services and behavior change activities, DHAPP places significant weight on surveillance and infrastructure development. The announcement specifically names HIV, STI, and tuberculosis surveillance; prevalence surveys; laboratory support; monitoring and evaluation; training; and strategic information management as areas where programs can build foundational capability. These components are meant to help partner militaries understand their epidemic, track progress, improve quality, and make evidence-based decisions. Capacity building and partner-country sustainability are repeated as explicit goals, indicating that DHAPP prefers proposals that transfer skills, institutionalize processes, and reduce long-term dependence on outside implementers.
Administratively, this is a discretionary health funding opportunity issued by the Naval Supply Systems Command, with CFDA number 12.350 (Department of Defense HIV/AIDS Prevention Program). The funding instruments include cooperative agreements and grants, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated. Eligibility is described as unrestricted in the sense that proposals may come from responsible sources in academia, industry, and non-governmental organizations. At the same time, there are key limitations and conditions: no awards may be made directly to foreign military establishments, and applicants must demonstrate active support from both the in-country military and the Department of Defense representative at the relevant U.S. Embassy for the planning and execution of the proposal. In other words, even though foreign militaries cannot be the direct recipient, the program requires clear buy-in and coordination with those militaries and the U.S. defense and diplomatic presence in-country.
Key dates in the public listing include a posted date of November 13, 2012, an original closing date of September 30, 2014, and a current closing date listed as November 30, 2014, with an archive date of December 30, 2014. The announcement also provides a program information link hosted by Navy Medicine and points to a named contracting and grant officer contact for access issues. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a mechanism for qualified organizations to partner with U.S. DoD and foreign-country military stakeholders to design and run targeted HIV/AIDS programs that combine prevention, care linkages, stigma reduction, and surveillance capacity, while steadily shifting responsibility and capability to the partner military for long-term sustainability.
