Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH15 15210501SUPP20
The grant opportunity titled "Increase Access to Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Prevention, Care and Treatment Services in Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)" is a CDC-funded cooperative agreement designed to strengthen HIV-related services in the DRC by improving the technical capacity of organizations that are already implementing programs under PEPFAR and the Global Fund. Rather than paying for clinics to deliver services directly, the funding is aimed at high-impact technical assistance, capacity building, and expert support that helps implementing partners improve the quality, coverage, and sustainability of HIV prevention, care, and treatment activities. In practical terms, the CDC is looking for an applicant that can act as a technical partner to help systems and programs run better, scale faster, and align with global and national standards, so that the country can increasingly manage and sustain HIV service delivery with strong local ownership.
A central theme of the announcement is that it is support for implementation and scale-up, but not implementation itself. The awardee would be expected to work alongside PEPFAR- and Global Fund-supported partners who are doing on-the-ground service delivery, helping them diagnose bottlenecks, improve performance, strengthen clinical and programmatic practices, and build durable skills within local institutions. The opportunity also explicitly includes support for Global Fund implementing partners to assess HIV service delivery, then develop technical assistance plans and strategies based on those assessments. That means the work is not just providing one-off trainings, but creating structured improvement plans that can be followed, measured, and adapted over time.
The CDC indicates that the award will prioritize five critical technical areas commonly supported by PEPFAR, and applicants are expected to propose work in one or more of these domains. The first is Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV (PMTCT), which typically includes helping programs ensure pregnant and breastfeeding women are tested, linked to treatment, retained in care, and supported through viral suppression, while ensuring infants receive appropriate prophylaxis, testing, and follow-up. The second area is HIV care and treatment clinical services for adults and children, which generally covers improvements in clinical quality, adherence and retention strategies, differentiated service delivery approaches, monitoring of treatment outcomes, and strengthening facility-level systems that affect patient care. The third area is pediatric HIV care and treatment, often treated as a distinct focus because children require different diagnostic approaches, formulations, dosing, clinical monitoring, and active case finding to close pediatric treatment gaps. The fourth area is Surveillance and Strategic Information (SI), which focuses on the systems used to collect, analyze, and use data for decision-making, including monitoring program performance, improving data quality, strengthening reporting systems, and supporting evidence-based planning. The fifth area is laboratory systems, which can include support for HIV testing quality assurance, viral load testing systems, early infant diagnosis networks, specimen transport and results return, laboratory data systems, and broader lab capacity needed to sustain HIV programming.
Structurally, this is a discretionary grant using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically means the CDC expects substantial involvement in shaping or guiding the work through ongoing collaboration, technical direction, and shared stewardship of outcomes. The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA GH15 15210501SUPP20, and it is administered by the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Center for Global Health. It is listed under CFDA 93.067 (a public health assistance listing commonly associated with global HIV-related efforts). The award ceiling is up to $12,000,000, with one expected award, indicating the agency intends to fund a single lead organization to carry out the technical assistance mandate at scale.
Eligibility is described as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement, which usually signals that a range of organization types may be considered but that applicants need to confirm they meet the specific criteria laid out in the formal eligibility section. The timeline provided shows the FOA was created May 1, 2020, with an original closing date of June 1, 2020, and applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. ET on the due date.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a high-level technical support platform intended to improve HIV outcomes indirectly by strengthening the organizations and systems delivering HIV services in the DRC. The CDC is seeking an applicant with strong technical credibility across key HIV program areas, demonstrated capacity to deliver cost-effective and targeted assistance, and the ability to translate assessments into practical improvement strategies for PEPFAR and Global Fund implementing partners. The underlying expectation is that, by improving service quality, data use, laboratory performance, and clinical systems through focused technical assistance, the DRC will be better positioned to manage its HIV response and sustain gains over time.Apply for CDC RFA GH15 15210501SUPP20
