Implementing Evidence Based Prevention Intervention for Key Populations in the Republic of Rwanda under the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

This grant opportunity is a continuation funding notice from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS-CDC), under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). It supports ongoing work in the Republic of Rwanda focused on implementing evidence-based HIV prevention interventions for key populations. The emphasis on "continuation" indicates this is not a brand-new competitive round in the usual sense, but rather an extension or follow-on action tied to a previously issued Funding Opportunity Announcement, meant to sustain program activities already underway and aligned with PEPFAR priorities.

The opportunity is formally titled "Implementing Evidence Based Prevention Intervention for Key Populations in the Republic of Rwanda under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)" and is listed under Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH15-161602CONT16. The category is Continuation, and the funding instrument type is a Cooperative Agreement. A cooperative agreement typically means CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work, which often includes close technical collaboration, shared planning, participation in program reviews, and alignment with CDC and PEPFAR reporting and performance requirements. The activity category is Health, and it is associated with CFDA number 93.067, which corresponds to CDC HIV-related assistance programs.

The core programmatic purpose is to maintain and implement proven, evidence-based prevention approaches for key populations in Rwanda. In PEPFAR and public health practice, "key populations" generally refers to groups that experience higher HIV risk and disproportionate impact, often due to structural barriers, stigma, discrimination, or limited access to services. While the notice text here does not list specific populations, PEPFAR key populations commonly include sex workers, men who have sex with men, people who inject drugs, transgender people, and people in prisons or other closed settings, depending on country context. The phrase "evidence-based prevention intervention" signals that funded activities are expected to rely on methods shown through research and program evaluation to reduce HIV transmission, such as targeted outreach, risk-reduction counseling, condom and lubricant programming where appropriate, linkage to HIV testing and treatment services, and other proven prevention and service-delivery strategies that fit local epidemiology and needs.

Eligibility is broadly indicated as "Others," with additional clarification expected in an "Additional Information on Eligibility" section that is not included in the excerpt you provided. In CDC notices, that label often means eligibility may be limited to certain types of organizations (for example, non-profits, NGOs, universities, or possibly existing award recipients) or may require meeting specific criteria tied to the original award and continuation status. Because this is a continuation announcement, it is common for eligibility to effectively be restricted to the current recipient(s) of the underlying cooperative agreement, though the excerpt itself does not explicitly confirm that, so the full eligibility language would be the deciding reference.

Key administrative details include an original and current closing date of May 1, 2016, a creation date of January 19, 2016, and a posted date of January 19, 2016. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which usually means the public listing does not specify a maximum funding amount in that field, rather than implying that no funding will be provided. The "Expected Awards" field is blank in the excerpt, which similarly suggests the listing does not provide a public count of anticipated awards or that this continuation action may be tied to a fixed recipient structure.

Overall, the opportunity is best understood as CDC/PEPFAR support to continue and strengthen Rwanda-based HIV prevention services for key populations using interventions with demonstrated effectiveness, delivered through a cooperative agreement structure that involves active CDC engagement. The listing provides the administrative identifiers and timing, while the full announcement (and especially the continuation terms) would typically spell out the specific activities to be continued, expected outcomes and reporting measures, budget and period of performance details, and any restrictions on who may apply.
