Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (CDC RFA GH11-1170) is a PEPFAR-supported cooperative agreement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention aimed at maintaining and expanding comprehensive, community-based HIV/AIDS services in Zambia's Southern Province. The core idea is to reach people where they live by using a systematic, household-by-household outreach model that is designed to cover entire communities rather than only those who show up at clinics. A central expectation is that services are delivered in a way that builds community engagement and long-term local ownership, while staying tightly connected to nearby health facilities that provide clinical care and related HIV support.
Program activities focus on tailoring prevention and care interventions to the needs of individuals, couples, and families within each household, and then scaling that approach across all households within a defined catchment area. The grantee is expected to provide confidential, home-based HIV counseling and testing, along with practical HIV education that improves understanding of transmission risks and prevention. The program also emphasizes providing prevention commodities, particularly condoms, as a direct tool to support behavior change and reduce transmission at the community level.
On the care and treatment side, the outreach model is meant to function as an entry point and navigation system into facility-based services. The grantee is expected to refer clients to antiretroviral therapy (ART) services and support them through counseling on ART adherence, helping people start treatment and stay on it consistently. The program also integrates tuberculosis (TB) services, including TB treatment support using Directly Observed Therapy, Short Course (DOTS), either through direct support in the community or by referral and linkage to appropriate health services. For pregnant women and families, the program includes referral to community health centers for prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) services, reinforcing the broader goal of reducing new infections and protecting infants.
This announcement explicitly builds on earlier PEPFAR-funded work under a prior cooperative agreement focused on rural, confidential HIV counseling and testing in Southern Province. One of the practical purposes of the new funding is continuity: ensuring that an existing pool of clients already receiving HIV-related care, support, and treatment does not lose access as projects transition. The geographic scope includes continuing collaboration in the existing site of Mazabuka District (population about 285,000) and expanding operations to Monze (about 240,000) and Sinazongwe (about 120,375), with the possibility of additional districts if appropriate. Close coordination with District Health Management Teams (DHMTs) is a required feature of implementation, reflecting the intention to align community outreach with local health system planning and service delivery.
Administratively, the opportunity is a discretionary grant using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically means CDC expects substantial involvement through technical guidance, collaboration, and oversight compared to a standard grant. The activity category is health, under CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS). The announcement anticipated up to two awards, with an estimated total funding level of $20,000,000. The listed award ceiling is $1,120,000, and the award floor is $0, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations that could run large community health programs, such as nonprofits (with or without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and small/minority/women-owned businesses), universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, tribal governments, and state/local governments or their bona fide agents. Non-U.S. entities are also eligible. If applying as a bona fide agent for a state or local government, the applicant must include documentation (a letter) confirming that status. The opportunity was posted on February 25, 2011, with an application closing date of April 26, 2011, and it was archived on May 26, 2011.
Overall, the grant is designed to strengthen HIV prevention and treatment outcomes by combining home-based, confidential outreach with strong referral and linkage to clinical services, while expanding coverage in Southern Province and maintaining uninterrupted support for people already engaged in HIV care.
