Opportunity Summary:
The opportunity titled "Simplification of Linkage to and Delivery of Antiretroviral Therapy in USAID/PEPFAR Supported Programs" is an addendum (Addendum No. 02) issued under USAID's Global Health Broad Agency Announcement (Global Health BAA). It is designed to collect Expressions of Interest from partners that can bring forward practical innovations, whether they are new interventions, service delivery approaches, or technologies, that make it easier for people living with HIV to get connected to care and to start and stay on antiretroviral therapy (ART). The underlying policy goal is aligned with USAID and PEPFAR priorities: improving HIV treatment outcomes at scale by reducing bottlenecks between diagnosis and treatment, simplifying treatment delivery, and supporting long-term management of HIV as a chronic condition in resource-limited settings.
This addendum is positioned as a science, technology, and research and development funding activity, using an "Other" funding instrument rather than a standard grant or cooperative agreement. In practical terms, that signals an interest in flexible partnerships and potentially nontraditional implementers, where USAID can support testing, adaptation, and deployment of promising solutions. The notice emphasizes that the U.S. Government is looking for innovations that address a critical global health challenge: effective treatment for HIV-positive individuals. While the short synopsis does not list the specific technical areas, the framing suggests solutions that streamline the treatment cascade, such as improving linkage from testing to treatment initiation, reducing the complexity and burden of clinic-based care, strengthening retention and adherence support, and using tools or redesigned workflows that make ART delivery more efficient for health systems and more accessible for patients.
Eligibility is intentionally broad. The announcement states that a variety of partners are sought, with particular emphasis on foreign organizations as defined in federal regulations (2 CFR 200.47). That emphasis fits the program context, since USAID/PEPFAR HIV treatment programs are implemented overseas and often benefit from locally grounded organizations, ministries, research institutions, and private-sector or social enterprise partners that can operate in-country and sustain solutions after pilots end. Cost sharing or matching is not required, which can lower the barrier to entry for smaller organizations or innovators that do not have large reserves of non-federal funds.
Key dates show this was a time-bound call for concepts rather than an open-ended solicitation. It was posted and created on May 29, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 22, 2015, and it was archived on July 22, 2015. The funding opportunity number is BAA-OAA-GH-2015, and it is associated with CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). Interested parties were directed to the addendum itself for the full program description and detailed eligibility requirements, which typically include the problem statement, desired outcomes, submission instructions, evaluation criteria, and any requirements tied to operating in USAID/PEPFAR-supported countries and systems.
