HIV Co-Infection Surveillance Strategies for Program Planning in the Central America under the PEPFAR | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

This funding opportunity, titled "HIV Co-Infection Surveillance Strategies for Program Planning in Central America under PEPFAR," is a U.S. government public health grant action administered by the Department of Health and Human Services through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically within CDCs Center for Global Health. It is issued as a continuation opportunity, meaning it is intended to support or extend an ongoing body of work rather than launch a brand-new, open competition for first-time applicants. The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which signals that CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the project implementation, such as providing technical direction, collaborating on work plans, and participating in monitoring and evaluation activities, rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal engagement.

The focus of the opportunity is on strengthening surveillance strategies for HIV co-infections to improve program planning in Central America within the framework of PEPFAR (the U.S. Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief). In practical terms, this kind of initiative typically supports public health systems in collecting, integrating, and using data on HIV alongside other infectious diseases that commonly occur with or complicate HIV, so that national and regional programs can better target prevention, testing, treatment, and clinical management services. While the listing does not spell out which co-infections are included, HIV co-infection surveillance in PEPFAR-supported contexts often centers on conditions such as tuberculosis and sexually transmitted infections, and may also include viral hepatitis depending on country priorities and data gaps. The core intent is not just data collection for its own sake, but building surveillance and analytic capacity that directly informs decisions about where to allocate resources, which populations to prioritize, and how to measure progress.

Administratively, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number "CDC RFA GH13-134404CONT17" and is categorized under the Health funding activity category with CFDA number 93.067, a CDC global health assistance program classification. It anticipated a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1), which is consistent with continuation funding where CDC is maintaining a specific implementing partner or consortium relationship. The AwardCeiling is listed as 0, which usually indicates that a specific maximum amount was not publicly stated in the summary record or that funding levels are determined through continuation negotiations, subject to the availability of funds and satisfactory performance. The posting indicates it was created on September 16, 2016, with an original closing date of November 30, 2016.

Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with a note to consult an additional eligibility text field for clarification. In CDC continuation cooperative agreements, this often implies eligibility may be limited to the current award recipient or a narrow class of entities defined in the full announcement, rather than a wide-open competition. The key operational takeaway is that the opportunity supports sustained CDC-partner collaboration to improve the quality and use of HIV co-infection surveillance data in Central America for PEPFAR-aligned program planning, emphasizing evidence-based decision-making, stronger monitoring, and better targeting of interventions to reduce illness and death among people living with HIV.
