Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Strengthening the Capacity of Faith-based organizations (FBOs) and Faith-Based Health Systems to Sustain the Role of FBOs in a Coordinated Response to HIV/AIDS," is a continuation funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), specifically the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) within the Center for Global Health (CGH). It is issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the CDC expects to have substantial programmatic involvement during the project period rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The overall focus sits squarely in the health domain and is tied to CFDA 93.067, which is commonly associated with global HIV/AIDS-related public health efforts.
The purpose of the opportunity is to strengthen the organizational and service delivery capacity of faith-based organizations and faith-based health systems so they can sustain and reinforce their role within a coordinated HIV/AIDS response. In practical terms, the CDC is signaling that FBOs and faith-linked health networks are important implementing and community-facing partners in HIV prevention, care, and treatment, and that their long-term effectiveness depends on stronger systems, improved coordination, and sustained ability to contribute to national and partner-led HIV/AIDS strategies. The emphasis on "coordinated response" points to alignment with broader HIV programs and partners, such as host-country health ministries and other implementing organizations, rather than isolated or stand-alone activities.
Administratively, this is identified as a continuation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH15-153803CONT17), meaning it is typically intended to continue support for an existing recipient or an ongoing body of work rather than compete a brand-new field of applicants. The listing shows an expected number of awards of one, reinforcing the idea that the funding is likely structured to extend or modify a single existing cooperative agreement. The posted award ceiling is listed as 0, which in many federal postings is used when the ceiling is not specified in the synopsis or is determined through internal continuation processes, amendments, or availability of funds rather than an openly competed maximum amount.
Eligibility is noted broadly as "Others," with clarification deferred to an additional eligibility text field (not included in the provided excerpt). That phrasing often appears when eligibility is limited to specific organizations, existing awardees, or a defined set of entities such as particular nonprofit partners, faith-based networks, or institutions with a prior cooperative agreement relationship. Because the synopsis you provided does not include the detailed eligibility language, the safest interpretation is that eligibility is restricted or conditional, and applicants would need to consult the full announcement or continuation instructions to confirm whether they are allowed to apply.
Key timing details in the synopsis indicate the opportunity was created on September 23, 2016, with an original closing date of November 28, 2016. That window suggests a standard federal application period, but since this is a continuation announcement with one expected award, the submission process may have been oriented toward a specific recipient providing continuation documents, updated work plans, budgets, and performance information consistent with CDC cooperative agreement requirements.
In summary, this CDC cooperative agreement continuation opportunity is designed to maintain and strengthen the contribution of faith-based organizations and faith-based health systems to HIV/AIDS programming by improving their capacity to operate effectively within a coordinated public health response. It reflects CDC's recognition that FBOs often have deep community reach, established trust, and service delivery infrastructure that can be critical for prevention messaging, linkage to care, treatment support, stigma reduction, and other HIV-related activities, and that investing in their organizational capacity helps preserve and sustain those contributions over time.
