Technical Assistance Services to Countries Supported by the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and the Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria | CDC RFA GH13 136803CONT16

Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH13 136803CONT16

The grant opportunity titled "Technical Assistance Services to Countries Supported by the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and the Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria" is a continuation funding announcement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It is designed specifically to extend support for ongoing technical assistance work connected to global HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria programs operating in countries backed by PEPFAR and the Global Fund. The opportunity falls under the health funding activity category and is issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally means CDC expects to remain substantially involved in the work alongside the recipient, rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal engagement.

This announcement is not open to new applicants in any practical sense. It is explicitly described as a continuation of funds intended only for organizations that were previously awarded under the earlier funding opportunity CDC-RFA-GH13-1368. In other words, the purpose is to maintain or extend an existing project or set of activities already underway with established grantees, rather than to start brand-new projects or bring new organizations into the portfolio. The eligible applicant category is listed broadly as "Others," but the continuation-only language makes clear that eligibility is effectively limited to prior awardees under the referenced earlier announcement.

The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA GH13 136803CONT16, and the opportunity category is labeled "Continuation." The CFDA number associated with the program is 93.067, which is commonly used for CDC global HIV/AIDS-related assistance. The original closing date for this continuation action was November 24, 2015, and the creation date of the record is September 22, 2015. The announcement lists an award ceiling of 0, which typically indicates that a specific maximum award amount is not provided in the public summary and that funding levels are determined through continuation budgets, appropriations, or negotiated project needs rather than a competitively set cap. The expected number of awards is not specified in the source data, which is consistent with a continuation action where the "awards" are usually predetermined by the existing roster of funded recipients.

Substantively, the opportunity centers on technical assistance services supporting countries that receive funding and program support through PEPFAR and the Global Fund. While the brief description does not spell out workplan details, technical assistance in this context commonly includes strengthening public health systems and program performance through activities such as improving surveillance and strategic information, enhancing monitoring and evaluation, supporting quality improvement, building laboratory and diagnostic capacity, strengthening workforce training and mentorship, improving supply chain and commodity management, supporting guidelines and policy implementation, and helping national programs plan, coordinate, and execute evidence-based interventions. Because this is a cooperative agreement, recipients typically coordinate closely with CDC on priorities, deliverables, and alignment with broader U.S. government global health strategies and in-country partner needs.

In practical terms, the listing reads as an administrative continuation vehicle: it exists to keep previously funded, CDC-partnered technical assistance efforts running in support of PEPFAR and Global Fund implementation, rather than as a new competitive funding opportunity. Organizations that were not part of the original CDC-RFA-GH13-1368 award group would generally not be able to apply for or access funding through this continuation announcement.
