Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "HIV Program Evaluation Implementation Support for Activities Implemented under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH17-1778) is a CDC funding announcement designed to strengthen how HIV and TB programs are assessed in countries supported by PEPFAR. The core purpose is to fund evaluations of HIV/AIDS and TB prevention, care, and treatment services that are already being carried out by CDC-funded implementing partners. Rather than financing direct service delivery itself, the emphasis is on learning what is working, what is not, and why, so that successful approaches can be improved, expanded, or adapted and weaker approaches can be corrected or discontinued based on evidence.
This award is offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically through the Center for Global Health. The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement during the project period. In practice, cooperative agreements often involve ongoing technical collaboration, shared decision-making on evaluation priorities and methods, and structured reporting so that evaluation findings can directly inform program improvements and policy discussions within PEPFAR-supported settings.
The activities supported under this announcement focus on conducting program evaluations in real-world clinical and community environments. The FOA highlights evaluations that help establish and strengthen innovative, emerging, and best practices in HIV/AIDS and TB programming. This can include economic evaluations (for example, understanding cost-effectiveness, costs per client served, or financial sustainability), process evaluations (examining whether programs are being implemented as intended, identifying bottlenecks in service delivery, and assessing fidelity and quality), and outcome evaluations (measuring changes associated with the program, such as service uptake, retention, viral suppression, TB case detection, or other health outcomes). The overall goal is practical evidence generation: producing findings that are usable for improving ongoing programs rather than purely academic research.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is open to a broad range of applicant types, subject to any additional eligibility details that may have been included in the full FOA text. The announcement explicitly notes that it will directly support public and nonprofit private institutions and agencies in PEPFAR-supported countries, signaling an intention to build evaluation capacity and produce locally relevant findings in-country, close to where implementation happens. The program aligns with broader PEPFAR priorities by supporting data-driven decision-making and continuous quality improvement in HIV and TB services.
In terms of funding scale and anticipated reach, the award ceiling is listed at $1,000,000, with an expectation of making approximately four awards. The opportunity falls under the health funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.067. The FOA was created on September 27, 2016, and the original closing date was November 26, 2016, with electronic applications due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing date.
Taken together, this grant opportunity is aimed at organizations that can design and carry out rigorous, field-appropriate evaluations of existing CDC-supported HIV and TB interventions within PEPFAR countries. The intended outcome is stronger evidence on implementation performance, costs, and results, leading to better-targeted resources, improved service quality, and more effective prevention and treatment strategies across clinical and community settings.
