Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), using PEPFAR funding, issued this discretionary funding opportunity (CDC-RFA-GH15-1594) to strengthen Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) programs in Ukraine at a time when donor support for HIV programs was declining. The core purpose is not simply to keep MAT sites operating in the short term, but to provide targeted technical assistance that helps Ukraine move toward more financially sustainable, cost-effective, and higher-quality MAT service delivery. The underlying public health rationale is that MAT is a critical intervention for people with opioid use disorder and is closely tied to HIV prevention and HIV treatment outcomes, particularly in settings where injection drug use has been a major driver of HIV transmission.
The opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning CDC would be substantially involved in guiding and collaborating on implementation rather than operating as a hands-off funder. The work is positioned as systems-focused support: improving how MAT is financed, how staff deliver care, how quality is measured and improved, and how MAT is integrated with other essential services. While the listing shows an award ceiling of $500,000 and an expected number of awards of one, the “estimated total funding” field is displayed as 0 in the source data, which can occur in archived listings or when final amounts are determined later. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
By the end of the five-year project period, the FOA sets several concrete targets. First, the recipient is expected to identify and implement at least three funding and organizational models that are financially sustainable and cost effective, with the explicit intent that these models can inform future MAT scale-up by the Government of Ukraine. This emphasis signals a shift from externally financed programming toward approaches that can realistically be absorbed into national or subnational budgets and management structures, including more efficient service organization and financing pathways.
Second, the FOA prioritizes improving clinical quality. It requires training at least 60 MAT program personnel on up-to-date clinical standards, and it calls for institutionalizing a clinical quality improvement system. In practice, that means moving beyond one-time trainings and building routine processes that monitor performance and outcomes, identify gaps in care, and implement ongoing improvements across MAT sites. The aim is to raise and standardize the quality of care for all MAT clients, which is especially important when programs are expanding or being transitioned to new funding arrangements.
Third, the opportunity focuses on integrated care, recognizing that MAT clients often have overlapping health needs that strongly influence long-term outcomes. The FOA calls for implementing integrated models that increase the number of MAT clients receiving co-located services, specifically including tuberculosis services, pre-antiretroviral therapy services, and antiretroviral therapy care. Co-location and integration are intended to make it easier for clients to access multiple services in one setting, reduce drop-off between referrals, and ultimately improve both HIV-related and overall health outcomes.
Finally, the FOA addresses what happens after MAT, aiming to reduce relapse among clients who discharge. By year five, the recipient is expected to identify and implement at least two models of post-MAT services. This requirement reflects an understanding that discharge can be a high-risk transition point and that continued support, follow-up, and linkage to other services can significantly affect sustained recovery and health stability.
Eligibility is broad and includes government organizations (such as ministries of health and state/local governments and their agents), tribal governments and tribally designated organizations, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, research institutions conducting non-research activities, colleges and universities, community- and faith-based organizations, hospitals, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses, among others. The announcement was posted on August 28, 2014, with an original and final closing date of October 15, 2014, and it was archived on November 14, 2014. For access issues, CDC directed applicants to the Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (pgotim@cdc.gov, 770-488-2700).
