Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH17 1744
This grant opportunity, titled "Support for the Provision of Sustainable Quality HIV/AIDS Services by the Federal Police Commission of Ethiopia under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," is a CDC-funded cooperative agreement designed to strengthen and sustain HIV/AIDS services delivered by the Federal Police Commission of Ethiopia (FPCE). The overall focus is on improving HIV prevention, treatment, and long-term health outcomes among police personnel, their families, and prison communities. The program is framed around core public health goals: reducing new HIV infections, lowering illness and death related to HIV, improving adherence to antiretroviral therapy, increasing retention in care for people living with HIV, and reducing the broader social and operational impact of HIV/AIDS on the FPCE workforce and connected populations.
A central element of the announcement is the delivery of comprehensive prevention services. FPCE is expected to implement activities such as screening and treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), which helps reduce both STI complications and HIV transmission risk. The opportunity also highlights voluntary male medical circumcision as a targeted, evidence-based prevention strategy in settings where it is appropriate and aligned with national guidelines. In addition, the FOA emphasizes targeted HIV counseling and testing, suggesting a focus on reaching priority groups within the police and prison settings, identifying undiagnosed infections earlier, and linking people quickly to prevention or treatment services based on test results.
On the clinical and program integration side, the FOA prioritizes stronger coordination between tuberculosis (TB) and HIV services. Because TB is a leading cause of illness and death among people living with HIV, integrating screening, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention services for TB alongside HIV care is a key approach for improving outcomes. The opportunity also calls for improving the quality of HIV treatment, care, and support for both adults and children, indicating that FPCE-supported services should cover the full continuum of care, from initiation of treatment to ongoing monitoring, adherence support, and management of complications or co-infections.
Laboratory strengthening is another major component of the announcement. The FOA specifies building laboratory capacity to support diagnosis and treatment monitoring, with particular attention to routine viral load testing. Viral load monitoring is widely considered the gold standard for assessing treatment effectiveness and identifying treatment failure early, which in turn supports timely adherence interventions and regimen changes when needed. Strengthening labs in this context can include improving equipment, sample referral systems, quality assurance, supply chain reliability, staff competency, and turnaround times so that clinicians can make faster and more accurate treatment decisions.
The announcement also places strong emphasis on health workforce development, recognizing that service quality and sustainability depend on capable, stable staffing. FPCE is expected to strengthen its health workforce by increasing the quantity of health professionals available, improving their skills and competencies, and supporting retention. In practice, this can involve training and mentorship for clinicians and lab personnel, supportive supervision, better deployment strategies, and systems that reduce burnout and turnover. The stated intent is to ensure the workforce is equipped to address the specific health needs of police and prison communities, which often require tailored service delivery approaches due to mobility, occupational risk factors, and the operational realities of law enforcement and corrections environments.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary award issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Center for Global Health (CDC-CGH), under Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH17-1744. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC anticipates substantial involvement in program oversight, technical guidance, monitoring, and collaboration rather than operating as a hands-off grantmaker. The CFDA listing is 93.067, and the eligible applicant category is listed as "Others," with FPCE explicitly named in the description as the implementing body. The opportunity anticipated a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an award ceiling of $1,400,000. The original closing date was April 20, 2020, and the opportunity record was created on August 15, 2016.
Taken together, the FOA is best understood as a targeted investment in a defined service delivery platform: FPCE health services for police and prison populations. It aims to improve prevention coverage, strengthen clinical care quality, integrate TB/HIV services, expand reliable viral load monitoring through stronger labs, and stabilize the health workforce so that HIV/AIDS services are not only available but consistent, higher quality, and more sustainable over time.Apply for CDC RFA GH17 1744
