Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Program Expansion Supplement: Technical Assistance Services to Countries Supported by the President's" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH13-13680301SUPP16) is a discretionary cooperative agreement issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It was created on July 29, 2016, with an original application closing date of September 29, 2016. The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1). While an "award ceiling" is listed as 0, the narrative makes clear this is a supplement intended to add funds to an existing cooperative agreement rather than compete a new standalone project. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with further clarification referenced in the full announcement text.
The purpose of the supplement is to address two related but distinct implementation needs connected to existing work being carried out by Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF) under cooperative agreements with country partners. First, in Zimbabwe, EGPAF is supporting government entities to implement the Young Adult Survey of Zimbabwe (YAZ), an effort that grew out of the DREAMS initiative, which is closely tied to preventing gender-based violence and reducing HIV risk among adolescent girls and young women. The current budget period was originally planned with the assumption that additional resources would be mobilized through longstanding partnerships. Because of in-country constraints, those partnerships did not materialize and the expected external resources are no longer available. As a result, the CDC is indicating a need to provide additional funds under the existing cooperative agreement so EGPAF can still carry out the full set of planned YAZ activities and reach the intended survey sample size, preserving the integrity and usefulness of the survey results.
Second, in Namibia, EGPAF has been working in close collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Social Services for roughly the past year to strengthen both individual skills and institutional capacity across key parts of the national health system. This technical assistance is framed around supporting high-impact, evidence-based public health interventions aligned with Namibia's national plans, policies, and priorities, with an overarching aim of improving the ability of national public health institutions to deliver accessible, high-quality health services. Through this partnership, Namibia identified a specific additional need: a comprehensive gap analysis focused on pediatric antiretroviral therapy (ART). The gap analysis is expected to describe the current status of pediatric ART services nationwide, review and assess existing training materials and training approaches, and produce a practical action plan to decentralize pediatric ART so that more facilities across the country can provide these services rather than concentrating them in a limited number of sites.
Taken together, the supplement is essentially a targeted expansion of ongoing CDC-supported technical assistance, designed to prevent implementation shortfalls caused by lost co-funding in Zimbabwe and to respond to an emerging system need in Namibia related to pediatric HIV treatment delivery. The cooperative agreement structure signals substantial collaboration and ongoing involvement by CDC alongside EGPAF and national government counterparts, rather than a simple pass-through grant, and the focus areas point to maintaining survey quality and coverage in Zimbabwe while strengthening pediatric ART capacity, training, and service decentralization planning in Namibia.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

When was this funding opportunity created and when did it close?
The opportunity was created on July 29, 2016. The original application closing date was September 29, 2016.
Is this a new competitive grant or a supplement to an existing award?
This is a supplement intended to add funds to an existing CDC cooperative agreement rather than a new, standalone competitive project.
How many awards were anticipated under this opportunity?
The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1).
Why does the listing show an award ceiling of 0?
Although an "award ceiling" is listed as 0, the narrative indicates the funding is structured as a supplement to an existing cooperative agreement, meaning it is meant to add funds to ongoing work rather than establish a new capped award in the usual way.
Who is eligible to apply?
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with additional clarification referenced in the full announcement text.
What is the overall purpose of this supplement?
The supplement is a targeted expansion of ongoing CDC-supported technical assistance to address two needs: (1) preventing implementation shortfalls in Zimbabwe caused by lost co-funding, and (2) responding to an emerging national health system need in Namibia related to pediatric antiretroviral therapy (ART) service delivery.
Which organization is carrying out the work described in the opportunity?
The work is being carried out by the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF) under cooperative agreements with country partners, with CDC involvement consistent with a cooperative agreement structure.
Which countries are specifically covered by the activities described?
The described activities focus on Zimbabwe and Namibia.
What is the Zimbabwe activity this supplement is meant to support?
In Zimbabwe, the supplement is intended to support EGPAF's work with government entities to implement the Young Adult Survey of Zimbabwe (YAZ), an effort that grew out of the DREAMS initiative.
How is the Zimbabwe work connected to DREAMS?
The Young Adult Survey of Zimbabwe (YAZ) grew out of the DREAMS initiative, which is closely tied to preventing gender-based violence and reducing HIV risk among adolescent girls and young women.
Why are additional funds needed for the Zimbabwe activities?
The current budget period had assumed additional resources would be mobilized through longstanding partnerships. Due to in-country constraints, those partnerships did not materialize, and the expected external resources are no longer available. The supplement is meant to replace that missing support so planned activities can still be completed.
What would happen without the supplemental funding in Zimbabwe?
Without additional funds, EGPAF may not be able to carry out the full set of planned YAZ activities or reach the intended survey sample size, which could undermine the integrity and usefulness of the survey results.
What is the key implementation goal for the YAZ activities?
A key goal is to complete the planned YAZ activities and reach the intended survey sample size so the survey results remain robust and useful.
What is the Namibia activity this supplement is meant to support?
In Namibia, the supplement is intended to support technical assistance work conducted by EGPAF in close collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Social Services, including an additional requested activity: a comprehensive gap analysis focused on pediatric ART.
What has EGPAF been doing in Namibia prior to this additional need?
For roughly the past year, EGPAF has worked with the Ministry of Health and Social Services to strengthen individual skills and institutional capacity across key parts of the national health system, supporting high-impact, evidence-based public health interventions aligned with national plans, policies, and priorities.
What specific additional need did Namibia identify?
Namibia identified the need for a comprehensive gap analysis focused on pediatric antiretroviral therapy (ART).
What is the gap analysis expected to cover in Namibia?
The gap analysis is expected to (1) describe the current status of pediatric ART services nationwide, (2) review and assess existing training materials and training approaches, and (3) produce a practical action plan to decentralize pediatric ART.
What does "decentralize pediatric ART" mean in the context provided?
In this context, decentralization means creating an action plan so pediatric ART can be provided at more facilities across the country, rather than being concentrated in a limited number of sites.
What is the intended public health outcome of the Namibia technical assistance work?
The overarching aim is to improve the ability of national public health institutions to deliver accessible, high-quality health services, with the pediatric ART gap analysis supporting better planning and broader service availability.
What does it mean that this is a cooperative agreement?
The cooperative agreement structure signals substantial collaboration and ongoing involvement by CDC alongside EGPAF and national government counterparts, rather than a simple pass-through grant.
How do the two country activities fit together under one supplement?
Both are described as targeted expansions of existing CDC-supported work carried out by EGPAF: Zimbabwe funding helps prevent shortfalls caused by the loss of anticipated co-funding for YAZ, while Namibia funding supports an emerging need for a pediatric ART gap analysis and decentralization action plan.
Is this supplement primarily about research, service delivery, or technical assistance?
Based on the description, it is centered on technical assistance and implementation support: maintaining survey quality and coverage in Zimbabwe (YAZ) and strengthening pediatric ART capacity planning and training approach review in Namibia.
Which national counterparts are mentioned in the work?
In Zimbabwe, EGPAF is supporting government entities to implement YAZ. In Namibia, EGPAF is collaborating with the Ministry of Health and Social Services.
