Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH15 152903CONT17

This funding opportunity, titled "Surveillance, Service Data Analysis and Capacity Building to Support Management, Leadership and Sustainability of HIV Programs in Haiti and other Health Initiatives under PEPFAR," is a continuation cooperative agreement announced by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Center for Global Health. The program is positioned within the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) context and focuses on strengthening the information and management backbone needed to run effective HIV programs in Haiti, while also supporting related public health initiatives. In practical terms, the opportunity centers on improving how HIV programs collect, analyze, and use data for decision-making, and on building local capacity so that these functions can be sustained over time rather than relying indefinitely on external technical support.

The core emphasis is on public health surveillance and service data analysis. Surveillance, in this context, generally means the systems and methods used to track HIV trends, monitor program performance, and understand where gaps exist across prevention, testing, treatment, and retention in care. Service data analysis refers to turning routine program and clinical service data into actionable information, such as identifying facilities or regions where testing yield is low, where linkage to treatment is weak, where viral load monitoring is lagging, or where patient retention is slipping. The grant is framed as supporting management and leadership, which signals that the goal is not only technical data work, but also building the ability of program leaders to interpret evidence, set priorities, allocate resources, and oversee continuous improvement across the HIV response and associated health programs.

Because the award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, recipients should expect substantial federal involvement, meaning CDC typically collaborates closely with awardees on planning, implementation approaches, performance monitoring, and alignment with national strategies and PEPFAR guidance. This often includes joint workplanning, agreement on indicators and targets, and ongoing technical engagement to ensure activities remain aligned with evolving program needs. The opportunity is categorized under "Health" and linked to CFDA 93.067, which corresponds to CDC's Global AIDS programs, reinforcing that the central programmatic domain is HIV/AIDS within global health operations.

The opportunity is labeled as "Continuation," which usually indicates it is intended to support ongoing work under an existing project or portfolio rather than launching an entirely new standalone initiative. The expected number of awards is listed as 10, suggesting CDC anticipated multiple implementing partners or institutions continuing workstreams that collectively support national and subnational HIV program management in Haiti. The listing does not provide a specific award ceiling (shown as 0), which typically means the ceiling is either not publicly specified in the synopsis, is determined by other internal or programmatic constraints, or varies by applicant and negotiated workplan.

Eligibility is described broadly as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)." While that text is not included in the provided source data, this phrasing commonly means eligibility may extend beyond state or local governments and may include nonprofits, universities, NGOs, or other organizations with the technical capability and a presence or partnerships relevant to Haiti's HIV response and health system strengthening efforts. Applicants for a continuation opportunity are often limited to current recipients or a defined set of entities already funded under the earlier cycle, but the precise limitation would be in the missing eligibility clarification field.

Administrative details in the source indicate the opportunity was created on February 8, 2017, with an original closing date of April 11, 2017. The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA GH15-152903CONT17, which signals an RFA (Request for Applications) tied to a broader global health funding line (GH) and a continuation action in 2017. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as an investment in the systems, people, and analytic capacity required to run a durable, data-driven HIV program in Haiti under PEPFAR, with an explicit aim of improving program leadership, strengthening management decisions through better evidence, and supporting long-term sustainability of HIV services and related health initiatives.
