Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH15 157403CONT17
This funding opportunity is a continuation cooperative agreement from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Center for Global Health (CGH), under the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). Its focus is on providing university-based technical assistance in South Africa to improve the quality of HIV/AIDS services and closely related health services across the Republic of South Africa. In practical terms, it supports work that strengthens how HIV prevention, testing, treatment, and ongoing care are delivered, with an emphasis on service quality improvement rather than simply expanding activities without improving performance.
A key point is that this is not an open, competitive grant for new applicants. It is categorized as a continuation award, meaning the funds are intended only for organizations that previously received an award under the earlier CDC funding opportunity announcement CDC-RFA-GH15-1574 with the same title. The opportunity number listed for this continuation action is CDC RFA GH15 157403CONT17, which signals it is tied to that original award cycle and is designed to sustain and extend existing, previously approved work rather than start a brand-new program with new recipients.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the funded activities compared with a standard grant. While the summary information provided does not spell out specific programmatic requirements, cooperative agreements typically involve close collaboration with CDC on planning, monitoring, technical direction, and performance management. Given the stated purpose, the continued work would reasonably center on hands-on technical support, mentorship, and systems-strengthening activities delivered through South African university partners to improve clinical and program quality in HIV-related services supported by PEPFAR.
From the listing details, the activity category is Health and the CFDA (assistance listing) number is 93.067, which corresponds to the CDC's global HIV program work commonly implemented under PEPFAR. The eligible applicant category is shown as "Others," but the narrative makes clear that eligibility is effectively restricted to current/previous grantees under the referenced prior announcement. The original closing date is listed as November 22, 2016, and the posting (creation) date is September 22, 2016, indicating the administrative timeline for processing the continuation action.
Several fields in the source data suggest that this posting functions more as an administrative continuation notice than a typical new funding competition. For example, the award ceiling is shown as 0 and the expected number of awards is not specified, which often appears in continuation listings where the amount and number of awards are determined by the existing funded portfolio, available appropriations, and continuation decisions rather than a competitive review of new proposals. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as CDC continuing support for established South Africa-based university technical assistance efforts that aim to improve the quality and effectiveness of HIV/AIDS and related health services under PEPFAR, with funding limited to prior awardees from the earlier CDC-RFA-GH15-1574 announcement.Apply for CDC RFA GH15 157403CONT17
