Strengthen Brazils National Response to HIV and Other Diseases Through Innovative and Evidence Based Approaches in Laboratory, Strategic Information, Prevention and Care Activities and Foster Partnerships Between Brazil, Angola and Mozambique under t | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

This funding opportunity, issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), focuses on strengthening Brazil's national response to HIV and other diseases by supporting innovative and evidence-based approaches across several core public health areas. The announcement emphasizes work in laboratory systems, strategic information, prevention, and care and treatment activities, with an added goal of fostering partnerships and technical collaboration between Brazil and two Portuguese-speaking African countries, Angola and Mozambique. In practical terms, the grant is designed to reinforce the systems and programs that allow a country to detect HIV and related conditions earlier, monitor the epidemic more accurately, deliver prevention services more effectively, and improve the quality and continuity of clinical care for people living with HIV, while also promoting cross-country learning and capacity building within the broader Lusophone network.

The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work beyond simply providing money. Cooperative agreements typically involve close collaboration on program strategy, technical guidance, performance monitoring, and alignment with national and PEPFAR priorities. The activity category is health, and the CFDA number listed is 93.067 (Global AIDS), indicating the work sits within the U.S. government global HIV/AIDS portfolio. Only one award was expected under this continuation notice, and the estimated total funding is listed as 0 in the notice, which can occur in continuation or administrative postings where the specific dollar amount is handled through internal budgeting actions rather than displayed as a new, competed pot of funding.

A key point is that this is not an open, competitive grant for new applicants. The opportunity category is marked as "Continuation," and eligibility is restricted to organizations that were previously funded under the original funding opportunity number GH13-1343, which carried the same project title and focus. In other words, the intent is to extend or continue an existing project or program already underway rather than start a new one with a different recipient. The eligible applicant field is listed as "Others (see text field...)," but the eligibility clarification makes it clear the continuation funds are intended only for prior grantees under the specified original announcement. The posting date and creation date are both March 2, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 1, 2014, and an archive date of May 1, 2014, reflecting the administrative window for processing the continuation action.

From a program content standpoint, the title lays out four major technical pillars. First, laboratory strengthening typically includes improving diagnostic capacity, quality assurance systems, specimen transport networks, and the reliability and timeliness of test results, which are foundational for HIV diagnosis, viral load monitoring, early infant diagnosis, and detection of co-infections or other relevant diseases. Second, "strategic information" usually refers to the data systems and analytics used to understand the epidemic and track program performance, such as surveillance, monitoring and evaluation, data quality improvement, routine reporting, and using data for decision-making at national and subnational levels. Third, prevention activities often involve evidence-based interventions tailored to populations at higher risk, strengthening outreach and linkage services, and integrating prevention with testing and other services. Fourth, care activities generally cover improving access to and quality of HIV clinical services, retention in care, treatment adherence support, clinical monitoring, and potentially integration with services for tuberculosis, sexually transmitted infections, hepatitis, or other comorbidities, depending on national priorities and the scope of the ongoing project.

The partnership component involving Brazil, Angola, and Mozambique signals an emphasis on South-to-South collaboration and shared language and health system context. The intent is typically to leverage Brazil's public health experience and technical capacity, while supporting mutual learning and strengthening institutional ties that can improve HIV program implementation in all participating countries. Such partnerships can include technical exchanges, joint trainings, harmonization of guidelines or tools where appropriate, mentorship arrangements between laboratories or surveillance units, and collaborative approaches to implementing proven interventions.

Administrative details included in the notice specify there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute a set amount of non-federal funds to receive the award. For applicants (in this case, the existing grantee) needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the CDC provides a contact point through CDC/PGO, with a phone number (770-488-2700) and email (pgotim@cdc.gov). Overall, the opportunity represents a continuation action under PEPFAR meant to sustain and deepen an existing CDC-supported effort to strengthen Brazil's HIV and related disease response while building collaborative bridges with Angola and Mozambique through proven, data-driven public health approaches.
