Opportunity Summary:
This CDC funding opportunity (CDC RFA GH15-1529) is a PEPFAR-supported cooperative agreement aimed at helping the Government of Haiti strengthen and sustain a country-led response to HIV. The central focus is not simply delivering services, but building Haitian leadership, management, and technical capacity so the national HIV program can function effectively over the long term. The work emphasizes preventing new HIV infections, improving HIV care and treatment outcomes, and addressing HIV coinfections, with a specific emphasis on tuberculosis. A major theme throughout the announcement is strengthening strategic information systems, meaning better collection, analysis, and use of surveillance and service data to guide program decisions at both local and regional levels.
The recipient is expected to work directly with the Government of Haiti and local implementing partners to identify priority gaps and practical needs in managing a sustainable HIV response. That includes helping national and subnational counterparts improve how they plan, supervise, and monitor HIV activities, and how they use data to spot problems early, target resources, and measure progress. The FOA frames success as a measurable, progressive transfer of capability: over the project period, the grantee should demonstrate that indigenous organizations and local communities are increasingly able to design, operate, and improve HIV-related activities with less reliance on external support. The intent is that, by the end of five years, the technical assistance and capacity building provided in agreed priority areas will leave Haiti better able to lead and sustain the activity independently.
Programmatically, the award covers multiple areas and is designed to benefit underserved populations in Haiti. While the text does not list every allowable activity in the excerpt provided, the stated objectives strongly point toward work such as strengthening surveillance and routine reporting systems, improving service data quality and analysis, building staff skills in monitoring and evaluation, and supporting management and leadership practices that keep programs functioning and accountable. Because this is a cooperative agreement, the CDC typically remains substantially involved during implementation, which often means closer collaboration on work planning, performance monitoring, and technical direction than a standard grant.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted August 29, 2014, with a closing date of November 1, 2014, and an archive date of December 1, 2014. The agency is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the CFDA number is 93.067 (Global AIDS). The announcement anticipated one award, with an award ceiling listed at $1,250,000; cost sharing or matching was not required. The total estimated funding field is shown as 0 in the source data, which can occur in listings even when a ceiling is provided, so the ceiling is the more practical indicator of the maximum expected award amount.
Eligibility is broad and includes government entities (such as national ministries of health, state and local governments and their bona fide agents, territorial governments, and tribal governments), as well as non-government organizations and institutions. Examples include nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, research institutions carrying out non-research activities, colleges and universities, community-based and faith-based organizations, hospitals, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and small/minority/women-owned businesses, among others. For technical help accessing the full announcement, the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section is listed as the point of contact (pgotim@cdc.gov, 770-488-2700).
