Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is a continuation cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). It focuses on partnering with Hanoi Medical University (HMU) in Vietnam to strengthen the country’s capacity to carry out program evaluation and broader health system strengthening work related to HIV/AIDS efforts. In practical terms, the project centers on building local institutional and workforce capabilities so that Vietnam can more effectively plan, monitor, evaluate, and improve PEPFAR-supported HIV programs over time, with HMU positioned as a key national partner for training, evaluation leadership, and implementation support.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the CDC anticipates substantial involvement in the project’s direction, technical approach, and oversight rather than acting only as a funder. The listing indicates this is continuation funding, suggesting it supports an ongoing partnership or previously funded work rather than launching a brand-new standalone initiative. The activity category is health, and the CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number associated with the opportunity is 93.067, which is commonly tied to global HIV/AIDS activities and related public health programming.
The opportunity is framed around three interconnected aims. First is capacity building with HMU, likely emphasizing strengthening faculty and institutional systems to deliver high-quality training, mentorship, and technical assistance in areas such as epidemiology, monitoring and evaluation (M&E), implementation science, data analysis, and use of evidence for decision-making. Second is program evaluation, meaning the work would support rigorous assessment of HIV program performance and outcomes, including developing evaluation questions, designing studies, improving routine data quality, and translating findings into program improvements. Third is health system strengthening, a broader set of efforts that may include improving information systems, workforce development, quality improvement processes, and coordination mechanisms that allow HIV services and prevention programs to operate more effectively and sustainably within Vietnam’s health sector.
Only one award was expected, reinforcing that this is a targeted continuation action rather than an open, highly competitive multi-award announcement. The posted award ceiling is listed as 0, which typically indicates the ceiling amount was not specified in the summary field or was to be defined through continuation terms, negotiation, or supplemental documentation rather than signaling that no funding would be provided. Eligibility is noted as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," implying that eligibility rules were defined in the full announcement text and may have been restricted to a specific partner type, potentially including a limited pool of applicants suited to continued work with HMU or entities already engaged in the existing cooperative agreement.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH12-123205CONT17, was created on September 20, 2016, and had an original closing date of November 22, 2016. The overall intent is consistent with PEPFAR’s emphasis on strengthening country capacity and ensuring HIV investments are guided by high-quality data and evaluation, with a long-term goal of improved program effectiveness, accountability, and sustainable national ownership of HIV response functions within Vietnam.
