Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH16 166802CONT17
This opportunity is a continuation cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), focused on providing technical assistance to strengthen comprehensive, combination HIV prevention, care, and treatment programs in the Republic of Zambia under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). In practical terms, the funding supports organizations that can help Zambian HIV programs perform better at every step of the HIV service continuum: preventing new infections, finding people living with HIV, linking them to care quickly, initiating and maintaining effective antiretroviral therapy (ART), and improving long-term health outcomes while reducing HIV transmission at the population level.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which usually means CDC expects to be substantially involved in the work beyond simply providing funds. Recipients typically collaborate closely with CDC staff on planning, implementation, monitoring, and performance improvement, including aligning activities with PEPFAR strategies and national priorities in Zambia. The emphasis on "technical assistance" signals that the funded work is less about directly delivering all services and more about strengthening systems and partners that deliver services, such as government entities, clinics, laboratories, community organizations, and implementing partners. This can include building capacity, improving quality, enhancing data use, and helping programs adopt evidence-based interventions at scale.
The opportunity is categorized as a health funding activity and is associated with CFDA number 93.067, which corresponds to CDC global HIV-related assistance under PEPFAR. The funding opportunity title highlights a "comprehensive combination" approach, which generally refers to using multiple, mutually reinforcing interventions rather than relying on a single strategy. In the PEPFAR context, that can involve targeted prevention approaches for different populations and settings, HIV testing services optimized for yield, rapid linkage and ART initiation, retention interventions, viral load monitoring and suppression support, prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT), voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) where appropriate, prevention and management of sexually transmitted infections, TB/HIV integration, and efforts to address structural and behavioral factors that influence risk and care engagement. While the source text does not list specific required activities, the title and PEPFAR framing indicate a broad mandate to help Zambia sustain and improve high-impact HIV programming.
Eligibility is listed as "Others," with a note to consult the additional eligibility information in the full announcement. That phrasing commonly indicates eligibility is not limited to a narrow applicant type (for example, not only state or local governments), and may include a range of organizations such as non-profits, non-governmental organizations, universities, research institutions, or other entities that can credibly provide technical expertise and operational support. Because it is a continuation opportunity, it may also be intended primarily for existing recipients or partners already funded under an earlier cycle, although that is not explicitly stated in the excerpt provided and would normally be clarified in the complete notice.
The opportunity number is CDC RFA GH16-166802CONT17, and the category is continuation, suggesting it builds on prior work and funding rather than launching an entirely new competition. The creation date is February 1, 2017, with an original closing date of March 3, 2017, indicating a relatively short application window typical of some continuation or renewal-related announcements. The CDC anticipated up to 10 awards, which implies support for multiple implementing partners or consortia working across different technical areas, geographic regions, or program components within Zambia.
Notably, the award ceiling is listed as 0 in the source data. In federal grant listings, a zero ceiling is often a placeholder or indicates that a fixed maximum amount was not specified in the summary record, rather than meaning no funds are available. The actual funding levels, budgets, and years of support would normally be detailed in the full funding opportunity announcement, including any expectations about cost sharing (if any), period of performance, and how funding is tied to annual appropriations and PEPFAR planning cycles.
Overall, the grant is best understood as CDC-supported, PEPFAR-aligned technical assistance aimed at improving the effectiveness, quality, and sustainability of Zambia's HIV response through coordinated prevention, testing, treatment, and care interventions, backed by strong program management, monitoring, and data-driven decision-making, with multiple awards expected and close collaboration with CDC under a cooperative agreement structure.Apply for CDC RFA GH16 166802CONT17
