Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH17 1766
The funding opportunity titled "Increasing the Capacity of Eastern Provincial Health Office (EPHO) to Provide Comprehensive and Sustainable HIV/AIDS Prevention, Care and Treatment Support in the Republic of Zambia under PEPFAR" is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement intended to strengthen HIV program delivery in Zambia's Eastern Province. Its central aim is to build the operational and technical capacity of the Eastern Provincial Health Office so the province can provide more comprehensive, higher-quality, and more sustainable HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment services. The opportunity sits within the broader President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) strategy, emphasizing sustained epidemic control and a shift toward more data-driven programming that concentrates resources where HIV burden is highest and where interventions can have the greatest impact.
A key feature of the program is its focus on expanding access to a combination of prevention and treatment services rather than relying on a single intervention. The grant supports approaches considered effective for both reducing new HIV infections and saving lives, with a strong emphasis on strengthening systems that make services consistent and scalable. In practice, the program is designed to help EPHO improve planning, coordination, and oversight of HIV services across facilities and communities, and to use epidemiologic and program data to better target geographic hotspots and populations at increased risk. The intent is not only to deliver services in the short term, but also to reinforce provincial capacity so gains can be maintained over time with stronger local leadership and management.
The opportunity outlines several core interventions that are expected to continue or be expanded under the award. These include antiretroviral therapy (ART) to treat people living with HIV and reduce HIV-related illness, death, and onward transmission. It also includes prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT), which targets HIV transmission during pregnancy, delivery, and breastfeeding through testing, treatment, and follow-up for mothers and infants. Another specific service area is ensuring counseling and HIV testing for all tuberculosis (TB) patients, reflecting the close link between TB and HIV and the importance of diagnosing and treating co-infection early. The program also supports voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC), a proven biomedical prevention intervention that reduces the risk of female-to-male sexual transmission. HIV testing services (HTC) more broadly are included to increase diagnosis, link individuals to treatment and care, and support prevention planning for those who test negative. The opportunity also highlights targeted interventions for key populations, acknowledging that certain groups may face higher risk and greater barriers to care and therefore require tailored strategies. Finally, the program emphasizes strengthening laboratory services, which are essential for confirming diagnosis, monitoring treatment (such as viral load testing), ensuring quality assurance, and supporting clinical decision-making across HIV care and treatment services.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity issued by the CDC under its Center for Global Health (Agency: Centers for Disease Control - CGH), using a cooperative agreement mechanism. A cooperative agreement typically implies substantial involvement by the funding agency alongside the recipient, often through technical guidance, collaboration on implementation approaches, and performance monitoring. The opportunity number is CDC RFA GH17-1766, and it is tied to CFDA number 93.067. The anticipated scale is sizable, with an award ceiling of $7,000,000 and an expectation of one award, indicating the intent to fund a single implementing partner or entity to work closely with the Eastern Provincial Health Office. The original application closing date was October 18, 2016, and the opportunity was created on August 18, 2016. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," suggesting that nontraditional or varied organizational types may have been considered eligible depending on the full announcement's definitions and requirements.
Overall, the grant opportunity is centered on improving Eastern Province's ability to deliver an integrated HIV response that combines prevention, testing, treatment, and lab strengthening, while aligning with PEPFAR's direction toward targeted, data-informed investments. The expected outcome is a more capable provincial health office that can coordinate and sustain comprehensive HIV services, better reach the populations and areas most affected, and contribute to long-term control of the HIV epidemic in Zambia.Apply for CDC RFA GH17 1766
