Opportunity Summary:
The STRENGTHENING HIGH IMPACT INTERVENTIONS FOR AN AIDS FREE GENERATION (AIDS Free) Project is a USAID funding opportunity designed to expand and sustain the most effective, evidence-based HIV and AIDS interventions by building the capacity of partner country governments and civil society organizations. The opportunity is issued by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Bureau for Global Health, Office of HIV and AIDS, and it signals USAID's intent to select a single main awardee to work closely with the agency under a Cooperative Agreement. The overall purpose is not simply to deliver services in the short term, but to strengthen the ability of local institutions to plan, manage, implement, and scale interventions that have a proven impact on reducing HIV transmission, improving treatment outcomes, and moving countries toward the goal of an AIDS-free generation.
This grant is categorized as discretionary funding and falls under the Health activity area. The instrument type is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation, such as collaboration on technical direction, coordination, or monitoring and evaluation expectations. The program anticipates one award, indicating that USAID is looking for a lead organization capable of managing a large, multi-country or multi-partner effort and coordinating with a wide range of stakeholders, including ministries of health, national AIDS commissions, local implementing partners, and community-based organizations.
The funding opportunity number is RFA OAA 14 000001, and it is associated with CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). The stated maximum award amount (award ceiling) is up to $250,000,000, reflecting a large-scale initiative consistent with major global HIV programming. The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants should expect to contribute resources or secure matching support as part of the overall project financing plan, subject to the detailed terms described in the full announcement.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition is open to any type of entity, as long as they meet any additional eligibility conditions described in the full solicitation. In practice, opportunities of this size often attract large international NGOs, universities, consortia, and other organizations with extensive global health experience, financial management systems, and demonstrated ability to support government and civil society capacity strengthening at scale.
Key dates included in the announcement are: the posting date of December 10, 2013; an original closing date of December 16, 2013; and a current (extended) closing date of January 24, 2014 at 4:00 pm Eastern Standard Time. Questions from applicants were due December 16, 2013 at 4:00 pm EST. The archive date is listed as February 23, 2014, indicating when the opportunity would be formally archived after the submission period and initial processing.

McElrath, identified with USAID's Office of Acquisition and Assistance within the GH/OHA branch structure.
