Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH15 15060501SUPP20
The grant opportunity titled "Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision as Part of the National Program and Combination Prevention Project in Botswana" is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) funding announcement designed to strengthen HIV-related public health programming in Botswana through targeted technical assistance rather than direct service delivery. It is framed around supporting major international HIV funding platforms, particularly PEPFAR (the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief) and the Global Fund, by helping implementing partners improve the quality, reach, and effectiveness of their programs. Although the title highlights voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) within combination prevention, the substance of the announcement is broader and emphasizes building sustainable national capacity across multiple technical areas that are central to HIV epidemic control.
This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the work alongside the recipient, typically through collaboration on planning, technical direction, monitoring, and refinement of deliverables. The overall intent is to secure an organization with strong expertise in technical assistance, capacity building, and program support for PEPFAR- and Global Fund-backed health activities. The focus is on comprehensive and cost-effective support that helps country programs and partners identify gaps, improve service delivery, scale up proven interventions, and strengthen systems that allow Botswana to maintain and expand HIV response efforts with increasing independence and local ownership.
A key point in the description is that the funding is not meant for direct program implementation. In other words, the award is not primarily intended to pay for running clinics, hiring large service-delivery teams, or directly delivering circumcision or treatment services at scale. Instead, it is aimed at strengthening the organizations and systems that do that work by providing expert guidance, training, mentorship, quality improvement support, strategic planning assistance, and technical tools. The announcement also explicitly includes support for Global Fund implementing partners to assess HIV service delivery and to develop technical assistance plans and strategies based on those assessments. This signals that the recipient is expected to help partners diagnose what is working, what is not, and what should be prioritized next, then translate those findings into practical, actionable improvement plans.
The announcement highlights five critical PEPFAR-supported technical areas that applicants are expected to address by responding to one or more of them, depending on their strengths and proposed scope. The first is Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV (PMTCT), which typically involves strengthening HIV testing and treatment for pregnant and breastfeeding women, ensuring early infant diagnosis, improving retention in care, and improving data systems and clinical protocols that reduce infant infections. The second is HIV care and treatment clinical services for adults and children, which generally includes optimizing antiretroviral therapy service delivery, improving clinical quality and outcomes, addressing adherence and retention, and supporting differentiated service delivery models. The third area is pediatric HIV care and treatment, which often requires specialized technical approaches because diagnosing and treating children involves different regimens, follow-up schedules, and service integration needs. The fourth area is surveillance and strategic information (SI), which focuses on improving data quality, monitoring and evaluation, use of routine program data for decision-making, and systems that track performance against targets. The fifth area is laboratory, which can include strengthening testing networks, quality assurance systems, specimen referral, turnaround times, and laboratory information systems that support HIV diagnosis and viral load monitoring.
From an administrative and funding perspective, the opportunity is listed as a discretionary grant under CFDA number 93.067 and is identified by the funding opportunity number CDC RFA GH15 15060501SUPP20. The CDC component involved is the Center for Global Health (CGH). The posting indicates an anticipated single award (ExpectedAwards: 1), suggesting a single prime recipient would coordinate the proposed technical assistance portfolio. The award ceiling is $4,600,000, which represents the maximum expected funding level for the award under this announcement. The opportunity was created on May 8, 2020, and the original application closing date was July 7, 2020, with electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline date.
Eligibility is broadly stated as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced as being available in the full announcement text. In practice, that often means the applicant pool may include a range of organization types depending on the CDC's specified criteria, such as non-profit organizations, universities, research institutions, and other entities with demonstrated capacity to provide the specialized technical assistance and systems-strengthening support described. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as an investment in high-level expertise to improve HIV program quality and sustainability in Botswana, supporting national and partner capacity in prevention, treatment, strategic information, and laboratory systems, consistent with PEPFAR and Global Fund priorities and the broader goal of strengthening country-led responses to the HIV epidemic.Apply for CDC RFA GH15 15060501SUPP20
