Opportunity Summary:
The CDC funding opportunity CDC RFA GH11-1135, titled "Support for Improved Linkages between TB and HIV Services, TB HIV Monitoring, TB Infection Control in Ukraine under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," is a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on improving how Ukraine prevents, detects, tracks, and manages tuberculosis (TB) among people affected by HIV. The core goal is to strengthen national TB and HIV program performance by building practical capacity in four connected areas: surveillance and monitoring of TB/HIV, stronger service linkages between TB and HIV programs, improved TB infection control, and stronger reference laboratory support. While the effort is aligned with national systems, the work is intended to be implemented and demonstrated in two selected oblast-level regions, with the expectation that successful approaches could be expanded or replicated.
A major emphasis of the program is closing the gaps between TB and HIV services so patients do not fall out of care when they move between systems. On the TB side, the program aims to evaluate and improve provider-initiated HIV testing and counseling for TB patients. That means making HIV testing a routine part of TB care, not something that depends on a separate referral or a patient request, and then ensuring that people who test positive are actively connected to HIV care and treatment services rather than being left with only a test result. On the HIV side, the program prioritizes intensified TB case finding among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) who are already accessing HIV care, so TB can be identified earlier and patients can be linked quickly to TB diagnostic services and, when needed, treatment. In practical terms, the grant is trying to reduce missed opportunities: TB clinics should reliably identify HIV, and HIV clinics should reliably identify TB, with clear referral pathways and follow-through in both directions.
Another central component is improving TB/HIV monitoring by strengthening TB surveillance systems to include HIV-related variables in line with World Health Organization guidance. This reflects the need for integrated data that can show, for example, how many TB patients are tested for HIV, how many are HIV-positive, how many start antiretroviral therapy, and how outcomes differ when HIV is present. By building surveillance and monitoring capacity in selected regions, the program seeks to produce more complete, higher-quality information that health authorities can use to manage programs, spot weak points in the care cascade, and measure whether linkage improvements are actually working.
The opportunity also includes a strong infection control focus, aimed at reducing TB transmission in health care settings, including outpatient environments where PLWHA often receive routine care. TB infection control best practices typically involve a mix of administrative measures (triage and fast tracking people with symptoms, separating coughing patients, infection control policies and staff training), environmental measures (ventilation, airflow management), and personal protective measures (appropriate respirator use in high-risk situations). The program description signals that the awardee is expected to build capacity and support implementation in institutions that provide care and treatment to PLWHA, where the risk of TB exposure can be particularly dangerous due to immune suppression.
From an operational standpoint, the award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the CDC expects substantial involvement in planning, technical direction, and monitoring rather than acting only as a passive funder. The estimated total funding listed is $2,000,000, with an award ceiling of $300,000 and no award floor specified. The opportunity anticipated one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for applicants that may not have large amounts of unrestricted funds.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations that could realistically run regional public health implementation and capacity-building work. Eligible applicants include nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations (including small businesses and small/minority/women-owned businesses), universities, colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, federally or state recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments, and U.S. state and local governments or their bona fide agents. Non-U.S. (non-domestic) entities are also eligible. For applicants applying as a bona fide agent of a state or local government, the announcement specifies that a letter documenting that status is required and must be submitted with the application materials via Grants.gov.
Key administrative details place the announcement in early 2011: it was posted February 22, 2011, with an original and current closing date of April 22, 2011, and an archive date of May 22, 2011. The funding activity category is Health, the CFDA number is 93.067 (Global AIDS), and the sponsoring agency is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) at 770-488-2700.
