Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH16 162702CONT18
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 strengthening Kenya's national response to HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis (TB) under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The core intent is to work in close partnership with the Republic of Kenya's Ministry of Health to accelerate progress toward epidemic control by improving the sustainability, quality, and performance of HIV and TB prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and related public health systems. Because it is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, recipients should expect substantial CDC involvement in planning, technical guidance, monitoring, evaluation, and coordination with national strategies and PEPFAR priorities.
The opportunity is listed as a continuation award, meaning it is designed to extend or support ongoing program efforts rather than launch an entirely new, open-ended competition. The CDC funding opportunity number is CDC RFA GH16 162702CONT18, and it is categorized under the health funding activity area with CFDA number 93.067 (a CDC global health assistance listing commonly associated with HIV-related international work). The expected number of awards is 10, indicating CDC anticipated supporting multiple implementing partners or partner-led program components aligned to national HIV/TB goals in Kenya. The award ceiling is shown as 0, which typically signals that a specific maximum funding cap was not stated in the public synopsis and that budgets would be determined through detailed program negotiations, continuation funding parameters, or other internal CDC/PEPFAR allocation processes.
Programmatically, the opportunity centers on accelerating sustainable, high-quality HIV/AIDS and TB programs, which in practical terms usually involves strengthening clinical service delivery and improving outcomes across the HIV and TB care cascades. That can include increasing HIV testing and case identification, ensuring rapid linkage to antiretroviral therapy, improving retention and viral load suppression, and enhancing prevention approaches that reduce new infections. On the TB side, it often means better TB screening among people living with HIV, improved diagnosis and treatment initiation for TB cases, integration of TB preventive therapy where appropriate, and strengthened infection control and program monitoring. The phrase "achieve epidemic control" reflects a focus on measurable population-level impact, commonly associated with driving down incidence and ensuring high levels of treatment coverage and viral suppression so transmission declines over time.
Eligibility is summarized as "Others," with a note directing applicants to additional eligibility details in the full announcement. In CDC notices, that generally means eligibility may be limited to certain categories of organizations or to existing partners already engaged in PEPFAR/CDC-supported work, especially given the continuation nature of the award. The opportunity was created on January 30, 2017, with an original closing date of March 31, 2017, framing it as a time-limited continuation competition or administrative continuation process for eligible entities. Overall, the announcement describes a multi-award, CDC-led partnership approach to support Kenya's Ministry of Health in delivering and sustaining high-impact HIV and TB programming under PEPFAR, with an emphasis on quality, durability, and demonstrable progress toward epidemic control.Apply for CDC RFA GH16 162702CONT18
