Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH16 161702CONT17
This funding opportunity, titled "Strengthening Public Health Capacity and Strategic Information Systems through Cooperation and Support Services from the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) under PEPFAR," is a continuation cooperative agreement issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Center for Global Health. It sits within the health funding category and is connected to the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), indicating that the work supported is intended to advance HIV-related public health goals in line with PEPFAR priorities and the broader global HIV response.
The notice is identified by Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH16-161702CONT17, with a creation date of February 6, 2017, and an original closing date of April 6, 2017. The listing references CFDA number 93.067, which is commonly used for CDC global HIV and related public health assistance programming. The opportunity is explicitly labeled as continuation funding, which generally means it is meant to extend or continue an existing project or ongoing portfolio of work rather than start an entirely new, open competition. In practice, continuation announcements often support an established recipient or a limited set of recipients that are already implementing activities under a prior award and need additional time or incremental funding to sustain and complete planned deliverables.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which is important because it signals substantial programmatic involvement by CDC during implementation. Unlike a standard grant where the recipient has more autonomy, a cooperative agreement typically involves close collaboration with the federal agency on technical direction, coordination, monitoring, and alignment with U.S. government strategies. Given the title and the involvement of UNAIDS, the intent appears to be structured collaboration that leverages UNAIDS' convening role, technical expertise, and country-level presence to strengthen public health capacity and strategic information systems that support HIV programs under PEPFAR. In this context, "strategic information systems" usually refers to the data systems and analytic capabilities needed to plan, target, monitor, and improve HIV prevention, testing, treatment, and care services, including systems for surveillance, routine program monitoring, data quality assurance, evaluation, and the use of data for decision-making.
The applicant eligibility field is listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which suggests eligibility is specialized or restricted beyond the standard categories. Even without the additional eligibility text, the combination of continuation status and the title referencing cooperation and support services from UNAIDS strongly implies the intended or primary implementer is UNAIDS or a closely associated entity, or that eligibility is limited to organizations capable of performing this specific cooperative support role in coordination with UNAIDS and CDC. The opportunity anticipates about 10 awards, indicating that the continuation funding could be structured across multiple country programs, regions, or technical workstreams rather than a single unified award. That said, the listing shows an award ceiling of 0, which commonly indicates the ceiling is not specified in the summary data, may vary by award, or may be determined by available funds and negotiated workplans rather than a fixed maximum.
Substantively, the purpose of the award is to bolster public health capacity and strengthen strategic information systems that underpin effective HIV responses. In real-world implementation, activities under a mechanism like this often include improving the collection, management, and use of HIV data; strengthening national and subnational monitoring and evaluation systems; supporting standardized indicators and reporting; enhancing data quality and data governance; and building the capability of ministries of health and partner institutions to translate data into policy and program improvements. Because UNAIDS plays a central role in global HIV strategic information, coordination, and accountability, the "cooperation and support services" framing points to assistance that helps align national HIV information systems and planning with global targets, improves coordination among stakeholders, and supports evidence-based prioritization consistent with PEPFAR expectations.
Overall, this announcement describes a CDC-led, PEPFAR-aligned continuation cooperative agreement intended to maintain and deepen collaboration with UNAIDS to strengthen the systems that countries use to generate and apply HIV-related strategic information, while also building broader public health capacity. The structure implies hands-on federal engagement, targeted eligibility, and multi-award support designed to sustain ongoing work rather than launch a new competitive program.Apply for CDC RFA GH16 161702CONT17
