Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH15 1616004CONT17
This grant opportunity, titled "Implementing Evidence Based Prevention Interventions for Key Populations in the Republic of Rwanda under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," is a U.S. government public health funding announcement focused on HIV prevention programming in Rwanda. It is administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically under CDC's global health programs. The opportunity is positioned within PEPFAR, the U.S. initiative that supports countries in controlling and ultimately ending the HIV epidemic through targeted prevention, treatment, and health system strengthening.
The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA GH15 1616004CONT17, and it is classified as a continuation opportunity. In practical terms, "continuation" typically indicates support for ongoing or previously initiated work rather than a brand-new standalone competition, often meaning that the activity builds on established programs, relationships, and performance expectations. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which is important because it generally signals substantial involvement by CDC in the implementation, technical direction, monitoring, and evaluation of the project, as opposed to a more hands-off grant. The activity category is health, and it falls under CFDA number 93.067, which aligns with CDC global HIV and related public health assistance.
The main purpose of the opportunity is to implement evidence-based HIV prevention interventions tailored to key populations in Rwanda. "Key populations" in HIV programming usually refers to groups that experience higher HIV burden and/or increased vulnerability due to behavioral, social, legal, or structural factors, and who may face barriers to accessing standard health services. While the source text does not list specific groups, in PEPFAR and global HIV contexts this often includes populations such as sex workers, men who have sex with men, people who inject drugs, transgender people, and other groups that are disproportionately affected or underserved. The emphasis on evidence-based interventions signals that funded activities are expected to be grounded in proven strategies, guided by data, and implemented with fidelity to approaches shown to reduce HIV transmission risks and improve service uptake.
The opportunity anticipates making up to 10 awards, suggesting that CDC expected to support multiple implementers or partners working in different geographic areas, populations, or components of prevention services. The listed award ceiling is shown as 0, which commonly means that a single fixed maximum was not specified in the synopsis or may depend on available funds, program design, or negotiation under the continuation structure. Applicants are listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," indicating eligibility rules beyond standard categories like state governments or universities. In many CDC global health announcements, this can include non-governmental organizations, local and international nonprofits, community-based organizations, academic or research institutions, and other entities with demonstrated capacity to deliver HIV prevention programs, particularly those with experience working directly with key populations in sensitive or stigmatized contexts.
Key administrative details include a creation date of March 27, 2017, with an original closing date of May 31, 2017. The federal agency listed is the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control - CGH (Center for Global Health). Overall, the announcement describes a CDC-supported, PEPFAR-aligned cooperative agreement intended to maintain or expand targeted, evidence-based HIV prevention efforts for key populations in Rwanda, implemented by eligible organizations in coordination with CDC technical oversight and within broader national and PEPFAR strategic priorities.Apply for CDC RFA GH15 1616004CONT17
