Human Resources for Health (HRH) Capacity Building in Malawi under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) | CDC RFA GH15 154902CONT16

Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH15 154902CONT16

The Human Resources for Health (HRH) Capacity Building in Malawi opportunity is a continuation cooperative agreement funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). Its central purpose is to strengthen Malawi's health workforce capacity, which is a foundational requirement for sustaining and improving HIV prevention, care, and treatment services supported by PEPFAR. Rather than launching a new, open competition, this notice is specifically structured to continue funding for work that began under an earlier CDC funding announcement focused on the same HRH goals in Malawi.

Administratively, this opportunity is listed as a continuation award (Opportunity Category: Continuation) and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement typically signals that the CDC expects to be substantially involved in the program's implementation, such as through technical collaboration, shared planning, performance monitoring, or coordination with national stakeholders. The funding activity category is health, and it is tied to CFDA (now often referred to as assistance listing) number 93.067, which is commonly associated with CDC global HIV and tuberculosis-related assistance activities supported through PEPFAR.

Eligibility is effectively limited to organizations that were already funded under the prior announcement CDC-RFA-GH15-1549. The description makes that restriction explicit by stating that the continuation funds are "intended only for grantees previously awarded" under that earlier HRH Capacity Building in Malawi opportunity. In practical terms, that means new applicants should not expect to be considered, since the continuation mechanism is designed to extend or maintain ongoing work with existing partners rather than select new implementers.

In terms of timing and identifiers, the funding opportunity number is CDC RFA GH15 154902CONT16, with a creation date of October 6, 2015, and an original closing date of December 6, 2015. The listing also shows an award ceiling of 0, which often indicates that a specific maximum amount is not provided in the public synopsis and that award levels may be determined through internal continuation decisions, availability of funds, approved work plans, or other programmatic considerations. The expected awards field is not populated in the provided source data, which aligns with how continuation notices sometimes present limited public-facing competition details because the recipient pool is predetermined.

Overall, this grant opportunity functions as a bridge for existing CDC/PEPFAR-funded partners working on HRH strengthening in Malawi, allowing them to continue agreed-upon activities aimed at building the health workforce needed to deliver effective HIV services. The emphasis is less on proposing a brand-new program and more on sustaining, refining, and advancing previously approved HRH capacity-building efforts under CDC oversight and collaboration.
