Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), is a cooperative agreement aimed at strengthening HIV prevention for key populations in the Republic of Rwanda. The central purpose is to support the on-the-ground implementation of evidence based prevention interventions for groups that face higher HIV risk and can also contribute to onward transmission into the broader population if prevention and care gaps are not addressed. The program focus is primarily on female sex workers (FSWs) and men who have sex with men (MSMs), with some activities also designed to reach the sexual partners of these populations.
The work described in the announcement centers on improving how key populations are identified and engaged, then ensuring they receive a comprehensive package of HIV prevention services. A major program element is implementing a Test and Link to Care (TLC) model, meaning the funded partner is expected to help people from key populations get tested efficiently and, when HIV is diagnosed, be promptly connected to clinical care and treatment services. For key population clients who test HIV positive, the project emphasizes starting antiretroviral therapy as a prevention strategy in line with Rwanda national guidelines, recognizing that treatment reduces viral load and can lower the risk of transmission. The opportunity also prioritizes adherence counseling and ongoing support to help clients remain engaged in care and maintain effective treatment. For clients who are HIV negative, the program highlights follow up and continued prevention support, reflecting an intent to sustain risk reduction and regular engagement rather than relying on one time services.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed as discretionary funding with a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically implies substantial program involvement by CDC in coordination, technical guidance, and oversight compared with a standard grant. The funding activity category is health, and CDC expected to make one award under this announcement. The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA GH15 1616, and it is associated with CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS). The posted and creation date are August 29, 2014, with an original and current closing date of October 18, 2014, and an archive date of November 17, 2014. The award ceiling is listed as 1,360,627, the award floor as 0, and cost sharing or matching is not required.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of government and non government entities. On the government side, eligible applicants include national ministries of health; state and local governments or their bona fide agents (including several US territories and affiliated jurisdictions); American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments; and political subdivisions of states (in consultation with states). On the non government side, eligible applicants include tribal organizations and health entities; urban Indian health organizations; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education); research institutions as long as proposed activities are deemed non research; colleges and universities; community based organizations; faith based organizations; for profit organizations (other than small business); hospitals; small, minority, and women owned businesses; and other eligible organizations as allowed by the announcement.
