Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH16 170102CONT18

This funding opportunity is a continuation cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Center for Global Health, focused on Kenya under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The program goal, as reflected in the title and description, is to support the implementation and expansion of high quality, sustainable, and comprehensive HIV services across the Eastern South Region and Nairobi County in the Republic of Kenya. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at strengthening and scaling up a full HIV program continuum that typically includes prevention interventions, HIV testing and linkage to services, clinical care, and antiretroviral treatment, with an emphasis on durable systems that can be maintained over time.

The geographic scope is specific: activities are intended for the Eastern South Region and Nairobi County. The framing around "implementation and expansion" indicates that the work is not purely research-oriented; it is largely about delivering and improving real-world programs in health facilities and communities, improving coverage, quality, and outcomes, and addressing gaps in service access and performance. The term "comprehensive" suggests support across multiple components of HIV programming, which often includes a mix of facility-based treatment services, prevention programming tailored to local epidemiology, retention and adherence approaches to keep people in care, and program management functions such as monitoring, supervision, and quality improvement. The "sustainable" language signals an expectation that activities strengthen local capacity, routines, and systems so that progress can continue with increasing country ownership.

Administratively, the opportunity is identified as CDC RFA GH16-170102CONT18 and is categorized as "Continuation," meaning it is designed to extend or continue previously funded work rather than start an entirely new initiative from scratch. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which is significant because it usually involves substantial involvement by the CDC in technical direction, collaboration, and oversight compared with a standard grant. Under cooperative agreements for large public health implementation programs, CDC commonly works closely with recipients on planning, performance monitoring, technical standards, and alignment to national and PEPFAR strategies.

The activity category is Health, and the opportunity is associated with CFDA number 93.067, a CDC global health assistance line that commonly covers international public health program support. The anticipated scale in this announcement is up to 10 expected awards, indicating that the CDC anticipated multiple recipients or multiple implementing partners supporting different parts of the portfolio, potentially divided by geography, technical focus, or service delivery networks. The listing shows an award ceiling of 0, which typically means the ceiling was not specified in the summary fields of the source record (rather than indicating no funding), so the actual funding levels would normally be detailed in the full notice or continuation award documents.

Eligibility is listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which implies that the eligible applicant types were defined more specifically in the full announcement text and may include organizations such as non-profits, NGOs, universities, or other entities with demonstrated capacity to implement HIV programs at scale, potentially including in-country organizations. Because this is a continuation opportunity, eligibility is often limited to existing recipients or a defined set of partners already engaged in the program, though the precise restriction cannot be confirmed from the abbreviated summary provided.

Key timeline details in the source information include a creation date of January 30, 2017, and an original closing date of March 31, 2017. Those dates place the announcement in the context of the 2017 PEPFAR and CDC program planning cycle, when implementing partners are often required to submit applications, continuation requests, or work plans aligned to annual targets and budgets. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as CDC-supported, PEPFAR-aligned continuation funding intended to maintain and broaden HIV prevention, care, and treatment service delivery in Nairobi County and Kenya's Eastern South Region while improving quality and strengthening long-term program sustainability.
