Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH12 123905CONT17
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, under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). It focuses on Tanzania and is centered on two closely linked aims: expanding comprehensive HIV prevention services for injection drug users and other populations at highest risk of HIV infection, and maintaining key HIV-related services at Muhimbili Hospital. In practical terms, the grant is designed to sustain and scale up proven prevention and clinical service models that address HIV transmission risks and improve access to care for groups that often face stigma, limited service availability, and barriers to consistent treatment and prevention support.
The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH12-123905CONT17, and it falls under the category of continuation funding. That label matters because it generally indicates the funding is intended to extend or build on an existing program rather than launch an entirely new initiative. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the work beyond standard grant oversight. Cooperative agreements often include close technical collaboration, joint planning, and performance monitoring, aligning program activities with PEPFAR priorities and CDC technical guidance. The activity category is Health, and the CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number is 93.067, which corresponds to CDC global HIV/AIDS-related assistance.
The core programmatic emphasis is comprehensive HIV prevention for injection drug users and other "most at-risk populations" (often referred to as key populations in public health programming). Comprehensive prevention in this context commonly implies a combination approach rather than a single intervention: targeted HIV testing services and linkage to treatment, risk reduction counseling, condom and lubricant promotion, prevention and management of sexually transmitted infections, and strategies tailored to the realities of people who inject drugs. Because injection drug use can drive HIV transmission through shared injecting equipment as well as through overlapping sexual risks, programs supported under this kind of opportunity typically aim to reduce both injection-related and sexual transmission risks while also ensuring people living with HIV are quickly identified and connected to antiretroviral therapy and ongoing care. The reference to maintaining services at Muhimbili Hospital signals that a hospital-based component is also integral, likely supporting specialized clinical services, referral networks, or continuity of care that complements community-based prevention work.
Administratively, the opportunity was created on October 12, 2016, with an original closing date of December 12, 2016. CDC anticipated making one award, suggesting a single implementing partner would be selected (or continued) to carry out the scope of work. The listed award ceiling is 0, which usually indicates the ceiling amount was not specified in the public summary or would be determined based on available funds and negotiated workplans and budgets. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with further clarification referenced in an additional eligibility text field (not included in the snippet provided). This type of eligibility phrasing is common in continuation or limited competition announcements, where eligibility may be restricted to a current recipient, a specific class of organizations, or entities meeting particular programmatic criteria.
Overall, the opportunity is structured to keep an established PEPFAR-aligned HIV prevention and service platform operating in Tanzania while expanding reach to injection drug users and other high-risk groups, and while preserving critical service delivery capacity at Muhimbili Hospital. The combination of continuation status, a single expected award, and the cooperative agreement mechanism points to a program where CDC seeks both continuity and measurable program strengthening, with close technical engagement to ensure interventions remain evidence-informed, targeted to the populations most affected, and integrated into broader national and PEPFAR HIV response goals.Apply for CDC RFA GH12 123905CONT17

It often reflects a priority on continuity of services and measurable program strengthening within an existing implementation structure.
How is this opportunity connected to PEPFAR?
The opportunity is explicitly described as being under PEPFAR. The cooperative agreement structure and the CDC involvement described suggest activities are intended to align with PEPFAR priorities and CDC technical guidance as part of the broader HIV response.
