Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (CDC RFA GH11-1173) is a PEPFAR-supported cooperative agreement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention focused on the Dominican Republic. Its central aim is to expand and strengthen HIV, sexually transmitted infection (STI), and tuberculosis (TB) prevention and risk-reduction services for mobile populations, especially people whose work, migration patterns, or movement between regions makes them harder to reach through traditional, fixed-site health programs. The program is built around a practical public health approach: first map and identify the specific sectors and locations where mobile groups regularly gather, then use that information to deliver targeted prevention interventions and ensure smoother referrals into testing, treatment, and broader medical care when needed.
The work envisioned by the opportunity is not limited to general awareness campaigns. It emphasizes reaching people in the real-world settings where mobility and risk overlap and where prevention services are often missing or difficult to access. In practice, that means improving access to risk-reduction interventions (such as education and counseling tailored to the realities of mobile work and travel, prevention commodities, and behavior-change support) while also strengthening referral pathways so that individuals can move quickly from outreach and prevention into clinical services. The grant frames HIV, STIs, and TB together, reflecting how these conditions often intersect in vulnerable communities and how integrated prevention and linkage strategies can improve health outcomes more effectively than isolated, disease-by-disease efforts.
Funding for the opportunity is modest but substantial enough to support a focused national or multi-site effort. The estimated total funding amount is $1,500,000, with one expected award. Individual awards are expected to fall between an award floor of $300,000 and an award ceiling of $350,000. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the project’s direction, technical strategy, monitoring, and coordination rather than simply issuing funds with minimal engagement. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants, which lowers the barrier to participation for organizations that may not have significant unrestricted funds.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding within the health activity area and is listed under CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS). It was posted and created on February 25, 2011, with an original and current closing date of April 26, 2011, and an archive date of May 26, 2011. While those dates indicate the listing is historically specific to that cycle, the details still clearly outline the program’s intended scope, audience, and implementation logic.
Eligibility is broad and intentionally inclusive, reflecting the reality that mobile-population outreach and prevention often rely on partnerships across government, healthcare institutions, community groups, and sometimes private-sector implementers. Eligible applicants include nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, for-profit organizations (including but not limited to small businesses), small, minority-, and women-owned businesses, universities, colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, and U.S. state and local governments or their bona fide agents. Tribal governments (federally or state recognized) are also listed as eligible. Importantly, non-U.S. entities are explicitly included, which aligns with the international nature of PEPFAR programming and the fact that on-the-ground implementation capacity in the Dominican Republic may sit with local organizations.
The bona fide agent provision is included for cases where a state or local government designates another organization to apply on its behalf. In that scenario, the applicant must provide a letter from the relevant government authority documenting that status, and it must be attached within the application submission (as described in the opportunity’s instructions for grants.gov submissions). For applicants needing the full announcement details, the listing indicates the full announcement is accessible via the posting page (with a note that the provided link itself is not active), and it provides a CDC Procurement and Grants Office technical contact (TIMS) at 770-488-2700 for assistance accessing the full text electronically.
Overall, the opportunity is designed to build practical capacity in the Dominican Republic to reach people who are frequently missed by conventional clinic-based prevention models. It prioritizes identifying where mobile populations are concentrated, delivering risk-reduction services in those settings, and creating strong referral connections so that prevention efforts translate into timely testing, care, and medical support for HIV, STIs, and TB.
