Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Reinforcing HIV Clinical Services within a Network of Faith-based Health Institutions in Haiti under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," is a CDC cooperative agreement designed to strengthen and sustain comprehensive, clinic-based HIV services delivered through a network of faith-based health institutions in Haiti. The overall purpose is to maintain and improve access to HIV prevention, diagnosis, and treatment in settings that already serve communities and patients, with a clear emphasis on quality of services and continuity of care across the HIV clinical cascade.
The program focuses on three closely linked service areas. First, it aims to ensure high-quality HIV testing and counseling (HTC) so more people living with HIV learn their status and can be promptly connected to care. Second, it prioritizes prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT), supporting clinical services for pregnant and breastfeeding women and their infants so that HIV transmission during pregnancy, delivery, or breastfeeding is prevented whenever possible. Third, it supports strong pediatric and adult HIV care and treatment services, which includes initiating and maintaining antiretroviral therapy, routine clinical follow-up, and the broader clinical supports needed to keep patients engaged in care and improve health outcomes over time. The underlying intent is to reinforce a reliable network of faith-based providers that can deliver consistent, comprehensive HIV clinical services to the populations they serve.
Administratively, the opportunity is offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS-CDC), specifically through the Center for Global Health. It is a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically means the CDC expects substantial involvement in program implementation, technical direction, and performance monitoring compared to a standard grant. The activity falls under the health funding category and is associated with CFDA number 93.067, which corresponds to global HIV/AIDS efforts under PEPFAR-related programming.
The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA GH16-1710. It was posted on December 8, 2015, and created the same day, with an application closing date of February 8, 2016 (both original and current closing dates are listed as February 8, 2016). The award ceiling is $5,500,000, and the CDC anticipated making one award, meaning the agency planned to fund a single recipient to lead and coordinate the work across the targeted faith-based health network. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement text, indicating that the program expected applicants that fit specific criteria described in the FOA rather than limiting eligibility to a narrow standard category.
In practical terms, the opportunity is structured to keep a coordinated network of faith-based facilities delivering core HIV clinical services with an emphasis on service quality: reliable HIV testing and counseling, strong PMTCT programming for mothers and infants, and effective treatment services for both adults and children. The single-award design and cooperative agreement format suggest the CDC intended a tightly managed, performance-oriented partnership to reinforce clinical delivery capacity and ensure these services remain available and effective within the participating institutions in Haiti.
