Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH11 111905CONT16
This grant opportunity is a continuation funding notice from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) focused on Zambia. The project centers on implementing a comprehensive package of HIV/AIDS prevention, care, support, and treatment services, while also providing targeted technical support to selected faith-based institutions (FBIs) operating in the Republic of Zambia. In practical terms, the opportunity is designed to keep an existing, ongoing program running rather than launching a brand-new competitive initiative.
The funding mechanism is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means CDC expects substantial programmatic involvement beyond simply issuing funds, such as providing technical guidance, monitoring, and collaboration on program direction and performance. The activity category is Health, and the assistance listing is CFDA 93.067, which corresponds to CDC HIV-related assistance. The opportunity is labeled as a continuation, and it is explicitly restricted to organizations that were previously awarded under the earlier funding announcement GH11-1119 with the same program title. That restriction is the defining feature of this notice: it is not open for new applicants, and it is meant only to extend or continue support for an existing grantee or set of grantees already implementing these HIV services and technical assistance activities in Zambia.
The stated purpose combines two major components. First, it supports direct implementation of HIV services across the prevention-to-treatment continuum, which generally includes activities such as HIV testing and counseling, linkage to care, antiretroviral therapy support, adherence and retention strategies, prevention interventions, and related care and support services that improve health outcomes for people living with HIV. Second, it emphasizes technical support to selected faith-based institutions, which commonly involves strengthening clinical and program systems, building staff capacity through training and mentorship, improving service quality, supporting monitoring and evaluation, and reinforcing organizational and operational practices so that participating faith-based partners can deliver consistent, high-quality HIV programming aligned with national guidelines and PEPFAR priorities.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number "CDC RFA GH11 111905CONT16," signaling it is a continuation action connected to the original GH11-1119 award. The posting lists an original closing date of October 23, 2015, and a creation date of September 17, 2015. The "Eligible Applicants" field is broadly listed as "Others," but the narrative clarification overrides that by stating the funds are intended only for prior awardees under the predecessor announcement. The award ceiling is shown as 0 and expected awards are not specified, which is not unusual for certain continuation notices where amounts may be determined through internal budget processes, approved workplans, or incremental funding decisions rather than through a new open competition with a stated maximum.
Overall, this is best understood as a CDC/PEPFAR continuation cooperative agreement intended to sustain and further the ongoing delivery of HIV/AIDS prevention, care, support, and treatment services in Zambia, while deepening technical assistance to faith-based institutions that are part of the service delivery network. It is not a general solicitation for new proposals, but rather a continuation vehicle to maintain program momentum and performance with existing implementing partners already funded under the earlier award.Apply for CDC RFA GH11 111905CONT16
