Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Reinforcing HIV Clinical Services within a Network of Public Health Institutions in the Central Plateau and the Lower Artibonite of Haiti under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)" is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funding announcement designed to strengthen and sustain facility-based HIV and tuberculosis (TB) services in Haiti. It focuses specifically on continuing support for comprehensive, clinical HIV and TB prevention, care, and treatment services delivered through three networks of public health institutions located in the Central Plateau and the lower Artibonite departments. The underlying intent is to keep essential services accessible and to improve the quality and consistency of care delivered through these public-sector clinical networks, aligning with PEPFAR priorities for epidemic control and integrated HIV/TB programming.

This funding opportunity was issued as a discretionary Cooperative Agreement (rather than a simple grant), which typically means CDC expects an active programmatic partnership with the awardee, including ongoing technical collaboration, oversight, and shared responsibility for achieving results. The activity category is Health, and it falls under CFDA 93.067, which is associated with global HIV/AIDS activities. The announcement was posted on December 9, 2015, created the same day, and carried a closing date of February 10, 2016 (with no later deadline changes indicated in the source data). CDC anticipated making a single award, with an award ceiling of $7,500,000, meaning the maximum expected funding amount for the project was up to that level.

Programmatically, the opportunity centers on three main service delivery objectives. First, it aims to provide high-quality HIV testing and counseling (HTC) and prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) services. In practical terms, this typically includes ensuring that people at risk have access to reliable HIV testing and linkage to care, and that pregnant and breastfeeding women receive timely testing, antiretroviral therapy when indicated, and follow-up services to reduce the risk of HIV transmission to infants. Second, it supports pediatric and adult HIV care and treatment services, which generally involves clinical evaluation, initiation and maintenance of antiretroviral therapy (ART), adherence support, routine monitoring, management of opportunistic infections, and continuity of care across the clinical network. Third, it emphasizes TB prevention, diagnosis, and treatment services, reflecting the close relationship between HIV and TB and the need for integrated screening, preventive therapy where appropriate, rapid diagnosis, and effective treatment for TB disease, particularly in populations affected by HIV.

Geographically and operationally, the emphasis on "three networks of public health institutions" indicates that the work is not limited to one facility but is meant to function across connected sites in the Central Plateau and lower Artibonite. This network approach usually implies coordinated referral pathways, standardized clinical protocols, consistent availability of key services, and shared systems for patient tracking and quality improvement, all intended to reduce gaps in care and improve patient outcomes across multiple facilities rather than in isolated locations.

Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement text, suggesting that the applicant pool may include certain organizations beyond typical state or local governments, potentially including non-governmental organizations, universities, or other entities capable of implementing clinical service support in partnership with Haiti's public health institutions, depending on the FOA's specific eligibility language.

Overall, the opportunity is designed to maintain and reinforce core HIV and TB clinical service capacity in a defined region of Haiti using PEPFAR resources, with CDC supporting a single implementing partner through a cooperative agreement to deliver measurable improvements in access to and quality of HTC, PMTCT, HIV treatment for adults and children, and comprehensive TB services.
