Opportunity Summary:
The FY13-FY14 Department of Defense HIV/AIDS Prevention Program (DHAPP) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DHAPP BAA 13-002) funds military-focused HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment activities in countries supported by PEPFAR (the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief). The core idea is that HIV risk and transmission drivers can look different in military settings because of factors like mobility, deployment patterns, age and gender norms, and access to services, so the program aims to maximize impact by tailoring interventions specifically to the needs of a partner nation military while staying aligned with national HIV strategies and PEPFAR priorities. The award mechanisms are grants and cooperative agreements, and the work falls under the health category (CFDA 12.350). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
DHAPP emphasizes a structured, partner-driven planning process. Applicants are expected to engage key in-country stakeholders first to identify the most important program areas and technical assistance needs. Proposed activities should then be adapted to the country context based on an assessment of the broader national epidemic and, more specifically, the epidemiology and risk environment within that country's military. A major theme throughout the announcement is building long-term capacity inside the military so that prevention behaviors, service uptake, and institutional ownership persist after external support ends. Applicants are also encouraged to design programs that leverage what is already working by coordinating with other partners in-country who have demonstrated success, rather than creating parallel systems. Implementation is expected to include monitoring and accountability steps that support sustainability and measurable impact.
In terms of what DHAPP wants to see in strong proposals, the opportunity highlights several characteristics and outcomes. Programs should show visible, credible support from the military sector, along with concrete plans of action and policies that institutionalize HIV prevention and care practices. Activities need to align with PEPFAR guidance and with national strategies and priorities, not operate as stand-alone projects. DHAPP also stresses increasing awareness and knowledge across the military community, while ensuring the partner country military owns the activities rather than treating them as externally managed efforts.
The prevention, care, and treatment content areas called out in the announcement are broad but clearly centered on interventions that reduce sexual transmission and improve linkage to services. Priority prevention elements include voluntary counseling and testing, sexually transmitted infection prevention and management, and behavioral interventions that address risk practices such as concurrent partnerships. Other highlighted approaches include prevention and care of opportunistic infections, male circumcision where relevant, efforts to shift harmful male normative behaviors, and targeted prevention campaigns. The announcement also references reducing mother-to-child transmission, with an emphasis on behavior change, counseling, testing, diagnosis, and strong linkages into care and support systems. Across all technical areas, stigma reduction is treated as an important enabling objective because stigma can block testing, disclosure, retention in care, and overall readiness and health outcomes within the force.
Another major program pillar is surveillance and infrastructure development. DHAPP describes activities such as HIV/STI/tuberculosis surveillance, prevalence surveys, laboratory support, and strengthening monitoring and evaluation systems. Training and strategic information management are included as part of building a functional data and decision-making backbone, so militaries can understand their epidemic, track program performance, and improve interventions over time. Capacity building is therefore not limited to clinical training; it also includes management, reporting, and the systems needed to run sustainable prevention and treatment programs. Sustainability is explicitly framed as a goal, with a clear expectation that partner countries progressively strengthen their ability to finance, manage, and maintain the program gains.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted in the sense that proposals may be submitted by responsible sources from academia, industry, and non-governmental organizations. A key restriction is that no grants or cooperative agreements may be awarded directly to foreign military establishments, even though the work is military-focused. At the same time, applicants must demonstrate active support from both the in-country military and the Department of Defense representative at the corresponding U.S. Embassy, and that support must be evident in both planning and execution. This requirement signals that proposals should not be drafted in isolation; they need documented buy-in and coordination to be considered viable.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted November 15, 2012, with an original closing date of September 30, 2014, and a current closing date listed as November 30, 2014. The archive date is December 30, 2014. The sponsoring agency is the Naval Supply Systems Command, and the notice points applicants to the DHAPP website for additional information.
