Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Scaling Integrated, Effective and Sustainable Services for the Prevention of Mother to Child HIV Transmission (PMTCT) in the Republic of Uganda under PEPFAR" is a U.S. government-funded public health award administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS-CDC) under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). It was released and posted on December 14, 2015, with an application closing date of February 14, 2016. The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the CDC expects substantial involvement in the planning, implementation support, and monitoring of activities, rather than acting only as a pass-through funder.
The overall purpose is to expand and strengthen Uganda's delivery of PMTCT services by working through existing Government of Uganda district systems. The focus is on making PMTCT more integrated, effective, and sustainable, meaning services should be embedded into routine maternal, newborn, and child health platforms and supported by local systems that can continue functioning beyond the award period. The opportunity emphasizes continuous service coverage across the full timeline of pregnancy and early childhood, rather than treating PMTCT as a one-time intervention at a single clinic visit.
A central program goal is to provide comprehensive PMTCT services throughout antenatal care, labor and delivery, the postnatal period, and infant follow-up. This includes routine HIV screening for pregnant and postpartum women, confirmatory diagnosis, clinical staging, and the provision of antiretroviral (ARV) prophylaxis for women living with HIV and for exposed newborns. It also includes initiating Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) for pregnant women who meet eligibility criteria for treatment. In practice, this points to a package that connects HIV testing and counseling to timely clinical evaluation and rapid start of appropriate ARV regimens, with follow-through into postpartum retention, infant prophylaxis, and ongoing infant monitoring to reduce the risk of HIV transmission during pregnancy, delivery, and breastfeeding.
The second major goal is to strengthen linkages and coordination between PMTCT and broader reproductive health services at both national and local levels. This reflects the reality that PMTCT outcomes improve when HIV services are tightly connected to maternal and child health, family planning, and reproductive health programming. Strengthening coordination can include aligning policies and guidelines, improving referral pathways, reducing missed opportunities for testing and treatment initiation, harmonizing data and reporting systems, and ensuring that district-level planning and supervision support integrated service delivery rather than fragmented vertical programs.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed as discretionary funding in the health activity category with CFDA number 93.067. The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA PS10-10210501SUPP16. The expected number of awards is one, indicating a single implementing partner was anticipated to receive the cooperative agreement. The award ceiling is $2,458,270, which sets the maximum amount available under this opportunity as posted. Eligibility is described as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," meaning applicants would need to consult the full announcement package to confirm which organizations are permitted to apply under this specific funding notice.
Taken together, the opportunity is designed to reduce new pediatric HIV infections and improve maternal health by ensuring pregnant women can move smoothly from HIV testing to treatment and sustained care, while ensuring infants receive appropriate prophylaxis and follow-up. At the same time, it aims to strengthen Uganda's own district health systems and improve coordination between HIV programs and reproductive health services so PMTCT becomes a durable, routine part of high-quality maternal and child healthcare.
