Peer-to-Peer Capacity Building in the Public Sector to Support Management, Leadership and Sustainability of HIV Programs in PEPFAR Countries under the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) | CDC RFA GH15 153202CONT16

Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH15 153202CONT16

The grant opportunity titled "Peer-to-Peer Capacity Building in the Public Sector to Support Management, Leadership and Sustainability of HIV Programs in PEPFAR Countries under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)" is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funding action designed to continue support for an existing, ongoing program rather than launch a new open competition. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the work through collaboration, technical input, and ongoing coordination, rather than functioning only as a passive funder.

The core purpose of the opportunity is to strengthen the ability of public-sector institutions in PEPFAR-supported countries to manage and sustain HIV programs over time. The emphasis on "peer-to-peer" capacity building signals an approach where experienced public health professionals, programs, or institutions provide practical mentorship, technical assistance, and leadership development to counterparts in partner countries. In practical terms, this kind of work often focuses on improving management systems, building leadership and supervision skills, strengthening planning and budgeting, improving program monitoring and use of data, and supporting long-term sustainability so HIV services and outcomes can be maintained effectively within national systems.

This specific announcement is explicitly labeled as continuation funding. The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA GH15 153202CONT16, and it is described as a continuation of funds intended only for grantees that were previously awarded under the earlier solicitation CDC-RFA-GH15-1532. In other words, new organizations that did not receive an award under that prior opportunity would not be eligible to apply for this continuation action. The eligible applicant category is listed broadly as "Others," but the narrative makes clear that the actual eligibility is restricted to existing awardees under the referenced prior announcement.

Administratively, the opportunity falls under the health funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.067, which is the catalog listing that corresponds to CDC global HIV/AIDS-related assistance activities. The issuing agency is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The original closing date shown is November 24, 2015, and the creation date is September 22, 2015, reflecting when this continuation notice was posted. The award ceiling is shown as 0 in the source data, which generally indicates that a specific maximum amount was not publicly specified in the summary record or that the ceiling was not applicable in the way the listing was entered. The expected number of awards is not provided in the data snippet, which is common for continuation actions since funding is typically tied to a defined set of current grantees rather than an estimated number of new competitive awards.

Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a mechanism for CDC to extend or continue funding to current cooperative agreement recipients working on peer-to-peer technical assistance and capacity building for HIV program management and leadership in PEPFAR countries. The main theme is sustainability: helping governments and public-sector institutions strengthen the leadership, managerial capacity, and systems needed to run strong HIV programs with less reliance on external implementing partners over time.
