Opportunity Summary:
Strategic Assessments for Strategic Action (SASA) in India is a PEPFAR-funded grant opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS/CDC). The core purpose is to support strategic, data-driven assessments that help India and PEPFAR partners understand the country context, identify HIV program needs, and translate findings into targeted actions. In line with how PEPFAR operates globally, the activity is framed around working with the host country and other key stakeholders to shape a customized package of assistance that aligns with Indias national HIV strategy and fits within the broader partnership framework led by the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator. In practical terms, the opportunity is about producing and using evidence that improves planning, prioritization, and program design for HIV prevention, treatment, and related systems strengthening, rather than simply funding service delivery in isolation.
This funding opportunity (CDC RFA GH13-1361) is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expects substantial programmatic involvement during the project period. Recipients generally coordinate closely with CDC staff on planning, technical direction, and performance monitoring, reflecting PEPFARs emphasis on accountability and alignment with national strategies. The funding activity category is health, and the CFDA number listed is 93.067 (Global AIDS), confirming it sits within CDCs global HIV portfolio.
Financially, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of USD 10,000,000, with an award ceiling of USD 1,000,000 and an award floor of USD 0. Only one award was expected, suggesting a single lead implementer would be selected to conduct and support these strategic assessments and related action planning. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide mix of U.S. and non-U.S. organizations and institutions. Eligible applicant types explicitly include nonprofits (with or without U.S. 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), small/minority/women-owned businesses, universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and a range of tribal entities and tribal health organizations. State and local governments (and their bona fide agents) are also eligible, with the note that a bona fide agent must provide a legal binding agreement documenting that status. Importantly for an India-focused opportunity, non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities are eligible to apply, which can allow Indian institutions or locally based organizations to compete directly depending on the full terms of the announcement.
The key dates show the opportunity was posted on February 25, 2013, created on April 11, 2013, with an original closing date of April 11, 2013, later extended to April 23, 2013. The archive date is May 11, 2013, meaning it is no longer open and is provided as a historical record of the funding opportunity.
