Opportunity Summary:
Impact Evaluation of Combination HIV Prevention Interventions in PEPFAR Countries (Funding Opportunity Number RFA GH 11 006) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement designed to fund rigorous evaluations of combination HIV prevention packages in countries supported by PEPFAR, particularly in settings with high HIV prevalence and generalized epidemics. The central aim is not to pay for the delivery or expansion of prevention services themselves, but to generate strong evidence about whether these combined prevention strategies reduce HIV incidence at the population level, and whether they do so in a cost-effective way. In practice, this means applicants would be expected to design and carry out impact evaluations that can credibly measure changes in new HIV infections over time and relate those changes to the intensified roll-out of multiple prevention interventions occurring in the same geographic areas.
A key feature of the announcement is the required coordination with ongoing or imminent large-scale prevention implementation efforts. While the evaluation funding does not support scale-up, the evaluation must be tightly linked to prevention programs that are already scaling up or will soon be scaling up combination prevention in the target area, with that scale-up financed through separate funding mechanisms. This structure reflects the intent to use real-world program expansion as the "platform" for evaluation, so that findings speak directly to programmatic decision-making in PEPFAR contexts rather than to small, isolated pilot projects.
The opportunity was offered as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically implies substantial involvement from the CDC during the project period (for example, collaboration on technical approaches, evaluation design choices, and performance monitoring). It sits within the health funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.067 (Global AIDS). The total estimated funding amount listed for the opportunity is $20,000,000, with one expected award. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated, and both the award ceiling and floor are shown as $0, which commonly signals that final award sizing is determined through the review process and the negotiated project plan rather than a fixed minimum or maximum amount stated upfront.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of applicants that could credibly conduct complex public health evaluations. Eligible entities include public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) organizations), for-profit organizations (including small businesses), and a wide range of government bodies (state, county, city/township, special district, tribal governments, U.S. territories or possessions). The listing also explicitly includes faith-based and community-based organizations, regional organizations, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and non-U.S. entities (foreign organizations). Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribal Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, and Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions are specifically encouraged to apply. The announcement also allows "bona fide agents" to apply on behalf of a state or local government, provided they include a legal binding agreement documenting that status.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted on February 4, 2011, created on April 13, 2011, and had an original closing date of April 4, 2011, later extended to April 25, 2011. The archive date is April 26, 2011, indicating it is no longer active. Applicants seeking full technical requirements, submission instructions, and evaluation expectations were directed to consult the Full Announcement, and the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) was provided as the point of contact for access issues (phone 770-488-2700).

What is the main purpose of this cooperative agreement?
The central purpose is to fund rigorous impact evaluations of combination HIV prevention packages in PEPFAR-supported countries, with a focus on generating strong evidence about whether these combined strategies reduce HIV incidence at the population level and whether they are cost-effective.
Is this funding intended to pay for delivering or expanding HIV prevention services?

What kinds of projects are expected under this opportunity?
Applicants are expected to design and carry out impact evaluations that can credibly measure changes in new HIV infections over time and relate those changes to the intensified roll-out of multiple prevention interventions occurring in the same geographic areas.
What is meant by "combination HIV prevention" in this context?
Based on the opportunity description, "combination prevention" refers to multiple HIV prevention interventions being rolled out together as a package within the same geographic areas, with the evaluation assessing their combined population-level impact on HIV incidence and cost-effectiveness.
