Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH 24 0102
This funding opportunity (CDC RFA GH 24 0102) is a PEPFAR-supported cooperative agreement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) focused on expanding and strengthening comprehensive HIV prevention, testing, care, and treatment services in selected Health Zones within Kinshasa Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo. The overall intent is to help Kinshasa move closer to HIV epidemic control by improving how people are identified, linked to services, started on treatment, retained in care, and supported to achieve viral suppression, while also ensuring that prevention services reach people at highest risk. The approach emphasizes person-centered programming, practical service delivery improvements, and stronger use of data to drive decisions at provincial and Health Zone levels.
The program is designed to accelerate a full HIV service cascade, especially for three major groups: people who do not yet know their HIV status, people living with HIV who are not currently on antiretroviral therapy, and people who need preventive services. A central priority is reaching priority populations and harder-to-reach groups, recognizing that gaps in access, stigma, mobility, and other barriers can prevent people from getting tested, starting treatment, or staying in care. The NOFO highlights the need for evidence-based interventions and also encourages innovative strategies, meaning applicants are expected to use proven methods while adapting delivery models to local realities in Kinshasa in ways that measurably improve coverage and outcomes.
A major component of the award is direct support and technical assistance to the Government of the DRC, specifically the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Social Affairs. The recipient is expected to help strengthen the technical capacity of provincial and Health Zone teams, with a strong emphasis on data: improving data quality, building the ability to analyze and interpret program information, and making routine, informed decisions based on evidence rather than assumptions. In practice, this typically includes strengthening monitoring and evaluation systems, improving data completeness and timeliness, troubleshooting data flow and reporting challenges from facilities and communities, and promoting a culture of using performance data to target gaps in testing, linkage, retention, and viral load coverage.
Community engagement is presented as essential rather than optional. The recipient is expected to work with community organizations to improve demand for services and reduce drop-off at key points in the cascade, particularly linkage to treatment after diagnosis and retention over time. This reflects a recognition that facility-based services alone are not enough to achieve epidemic control in settings where social barriers, misinformation, and competing priorities can keep people from enrolling in care or continuing treatment. The NOFO frames community partners as contributors to improving uptake, linkage, and retention, which implies structured collaboration, referral networks, follow-up mechanisms, and community-informed strategies to make services more accessible and acceptable.
This opportunity is explicitly aligned with PEPFAR 2030, which aims to eliminate HIV/AIDS as a public health threat while building sustainable public health capacity. It also references PEPFAR DRC programming priorities, including equity for priority populations, sustainability, health system strengthening, and a data-driven, science-based approach consistent with the newer PEPFAR strategic direction often described as the 5x3 vision. Taken together, the grant is not only about delivering services in the short term, but also about improving the underlying systems (workforce capacity, data systems, coordination structures, and community linkages) that allow high-quality HIV services to continue and improve over time.
From an administrative standpoint, the mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally means CDC will have substantial involvement beyond simple grant oversight, such as providing technical direction, collaboration on plans and performance, and ongoing engagement to ensure activities align with PEPFAR and CDC expectations. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding in the health area under CFDA 93.067, with unrestricted eligibility and an expectation of two awards. The notice indicates an approximate total funding amount of $4,000,000 for Year 1, contingent on funds being available. An unusual detail in the listing is that the Year 1 award ceiling is shown as $0 (none), which typically signals that CDC is not setting a fixed maximum per award in the public synopsis even though an estimated total funding level is provided; applicants would still be expected to propose a reasonable budget that matches the scope and expected results.
Key dates and identifiers included in the synopsis are a creation date of December 5, 2023, and an original closing date of February 20, 2024. The lead agency is CDC under CGH. Overall, the NOFO supports a Kinshasa-focused push to increase access to comprehensive HIV services, close persistent gaps for underserved and high-risk groups, strengthen government and local capacity, and use better data and community partnerships to drive measurable progress toward epidemic control.Apply for CDC RFA GH 24 0102
