Opportunity Summary:

This funding opportunity (CDC RFA GH13-130403CONT16) is a continuation cooperative agreement issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). Its central purpose is to support a sustained partnership with the Ministry of Health of Vietnam to strengthen and institutionalize a durable national system for HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. In practical terms, the announcement reflects PEPFAR's broader shift toward country ownership and long-term sustainability, where national institutions increasingly lead and manage HIV programming while external partners provide targeted technical assistance and support for systems-building.

The opportunity is categorized as continuation funding, meaning it is not a new, open competition for first-time applicants. Instead, it is intended only for organizations that were previously funded under the earlier related award (GH13-1304) for the same Vietnam-focused initiative. The eligible applicant pool is therefore restricted to prior grantees, which typically indicates CDC is extending or renewing support for an existing project that is already underway, rather than launching a new program. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so recipients are not required by this announcement to contribute a defined percentage of non-federal funds to receive the award.

The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally signals a hands-on partnership between the federal agency and the award recipient. Under cooperative agreements, CDC usually expects substantial involvement in areas such as technical direction, collaboration on work planning, performance monitoring, and alignment with CDC and PEPFAR policies and reporting requirements. While the announcement text provided does not list specific program activities, the title clearly emphasizes building a "sustainable system" for HIV prevention, care, and treatment. In this context, sustainability commonly involves strengthening national and subnational capacity across functions such as program management, surveillance and strategic information, service quality improvement, laboratory and clinical systems, prevention program implementation, linkage to care, retention and adherence support, workforce development, and coordination mechanisms that allow the Ministry of Health to plan, finance, and oversee the HIV response over time.

Only one award was expected, which further reinforces that this is a continuation action designed to maintain a single ongoing partnership rather than fund multiple separate projects. The activity category is health, and the CFDA number is 93.067 (Global AIDS), which is the standard federal assistance listing associated with many CDC PEPFAR HIV-related awards. Notably, the funding fields show an estimated total funding of 0 and an award ceiling and floor of 0 in the source data; this typically reflects that the precise amount was not published in the public-facing fields for this continuation notice (or that funding details were handled through internal continuation mechanisms rather than disclosed as a new competed amount).

Key dates in the posting indicate the announcement was posted and created on August 14, 2015, with an application closing date of September 22, 2015, and an archive date of October 22, 2015. The administering agency is CDC. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the contact point listed is the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO) via phone at 770-488-2700 or email at pgotim@cdc.gov.

Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a targeted continuation of CDC's PEPFAR-supported work in Vietnam, focused on ensuring the Ministry of Health and national partners can sustain and manage effective HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment programs with progressively stronger local leadership, systems, and capacity.
