Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), focuses on strengthening HIV/AIDS prevention, care, treatment, and referral services in Haiti, with an emphasis on reaching people who are at higher risk and often missed by routine health services. The core aim is to make sure the Haitian population has better access to HIV screening and to the full continuum of HIV care, including timely linkage to treatment and ongoing support services. A central theme is targeted outreach to vulnerable groups engaged in high risk behavior, specifically including men who have sex with men (MSM), who may face barriers to care such as fear of discrimination, social stigma, and limited availability of trusted, culturally competent services.
The program is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the CDC would likely have substantial involvement in planning, oversight, and performance monitoring rather than simply providing a hands-off grant. The activities highlighted in the announcement point to a combination of service delivery improvements and community-level interventions. On the service side, the opportunity emphasizes strengthening referral pathways so that people who test positive for HIV, or who are at elevated risk, can be efficiently connected to appropriate clinical services for evaluation, antiretroviral therapy initiation when indicated, and follow-up care. On the community and social support side, it calls for building and reinforcing a strong network of associations for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). These networks are typically used to provide peer support, improve retention in care, encourage treatment adherence, and serve as a bridge between communities and formal health facilities.
A major expected component of the work is stigma and discrimination reduction. In practice, this usually involves community education, engagement with local leaders and service providers, and training for health workers and outreach staff to ensure services are respectful, confidential, and nonjudgmental. The emphasis on stigma reduction is not just an add-on; in settings where HIV-related stigma is high, it directly affects whether people seek testing, disclose risk factors, return for results, enroll in treatment, and remain in care. By pairing referral strengthening with stigma-reduction efforts and PLWHA association support, the opportunity is designed to address both the medical and social obstacles that can prevent effective HIV control.
In terms of funding and scale, the opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH11-1192) listed an estimated total funding amount of $10,000,000 and anticipated one award, suggesting a single, relatively large implementing partner. The award ceiling was $2,000,000, with no stated award floor, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The program falls under CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS), aligning it clearly with U.S. global HIV/AIDS assistance efforts. The funding opportunity was posted on February 23, 2011, created on March 3, 2011, and had an application deadline of April 20, 2011, with an archive date of May 20, 2011, indicating it is a historical funding notice rather than an open competition today.
Eligibility was broad and included many types of organizations that could credibly implement HIV outreach, referral, and community support activities in Haiti. Eligible applicants included nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations (including small businesses and minority- and women-owned businesses), universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based organizations, and faith-based organizations. Government entities were also eligible, including state and local governments and their bona fide agents, as well as federally or state recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments. Importantly, non-U.S. entities were eligible as well, which is relevant for Haiti-focused work where local implementing partners may be based outside the United States or structured as Haitian organizations. If applying as a bona fide agent of a state or local government, the applicant was required to provide a letter documenting that status.
Operationally, the announcement points applicants to the "Full Announcement" for details, and provides contact information for the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) for technical assistance with accessing the full posting. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted HIV systems-strengthening and community engagement effort in Haiti: improving the practical mechanics of getting people tested and linked to care, ensuring high-risk and marginalized groups are not left out, building durable PLWHA community structures, and reducing stigma and discrimination that can undermine prevention and treatment outcomes.
