Opportunity Summary:
The FY15-FY16 Department of Defense HIV/AIDS Prevention Program (DHAPP) Military-Specific HIV/AIDS Prevention, Care, and Treatment Program for non-PEPFAR countries is a U.S. Department of Defense funding opportunity aimed at reducing HIV risk and improving HIV outcomes within foreign military populations. The central idea is that militaries can face distinct HIV vulnerability factors tied to mobility, deployment cycles, age and gender dynamics, access to services, and surrounding community risk patterns. DHAPP funds and supports targeted, military-appropriate interventions that strengthen prevention, care, treatment, and health information systems in ways that fit the partner country context and align with national health strategies.
Program design under this opportunity emphasizes a structured, partner-driven planning process rather than a one-size-fits-all package. DHAPP expects implementers to engage key in-country stakeholders early, including military leadership and relevant civilian partners, to identify priority activities and technical assistance needs. Interventions are then adapted based on an assessment of the military-specific epidemic and existing service capacity, with a strong focus on building the military health system so it can sustain prevention, treatment, and strategic information functions over time. Applicants are also expected to coordinate with the Ministry of Health and other in-country implementers and donors, leveraging what already works and avoiding duplication. Overall, proposed activities should be aligned with Combatant Command (COCOM) planning frameworks and the host nation’s strategies and operational plans, and they should be implemented with monitoring approaches that demonstrate efficiency, accountability, and long-term sustainability.
A major theme of the opportunity is demonstrating tangible military-sector commitment and ownership. Competitive programs are expected to show visible support from military leadership, the development or strengthening of plans of action and policies, and efforts to increase HIV awareness within the military. DHAPP places value on country military ownership of activities, meaning programs should not just deliver services but also help military institutions build internal capability, governance, and continuity. This includes practical capacity building such as training, strengthening clinic and laboratory systems, improving program management, and developing strategic information systems that allow militaries to understand their epidemic and track progress.
On prevention, the opportunity highlights a comprehensive set of evidence-informed approaches focused primarily on reducing sexual transmission risk. Priority activities include voluntary counseling and testing, condom promotion and access, prevention and management of sexually transmitted infections, and behavioral interventions designed to reduce high-risk behavior. Programs may also address prevention and care of opportunistic infections and incorporate targeted prevention campaigns tailored to military populations. In specified settings, voluntary medical male circumcision is included as a key prevention intervention in 13 target countries, alongside activities aimed at changing harmful male normative behaviors, reducing sexual violence, and improving protective behaviors. The opportunity also calls out prevention of mother-to-child transmission as part of broader prevention and care planning, with an emphasis on behavior change, counseling, testing, diagnosis, and strong linkages to care and support services.
Beyond direct prevention and clinical services, DHAPP strongly emphasizes stigma reduction and the strengthening of surveillance and health infrastructure. This includes HIV/STI/tuberculosis surveillance activities, HIV prevalence surveys, laboratory support, monitoring and evaluation, training, and strategic information management. The intent is to help partner militaries develop reliable data systems and analytic capacity so they can target interventions effectively, measure impact, and make informed decisions. Sustainability is treated as a core outcome, with expectations that partner countries progressively build the capacity and commitment to maintain programs over time.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted December 12, 2014, under Funding Opportunity Number DHAPP BAA 15-001, and remained open through September 30, 2016 (archived October 30, 2016). It falls under CFDA 12.350 (Department of Defense HIV/AIDS Prevention Program). The funding instrument types are grants and cooperative agreements, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. Eligibility is broadly open: responsible sources from academia, industry, and non-governmental organizations may apply. A key restriction is that awards cannot be made directly to foreign military establishments. Applicants must also demonstrate active support from both the in-country military and the DoD representative at the relevant U.S. Embassy for planning and execution, reinforcing the requirement for genuine host-military buy-in and coordination with U.S. government stakeholders. The administering agency is the Naval Supply Systems Command, and a listed point of contact for access issues is Janet Norton, Contract and Grant Officer.
