Implementing Evidence Based Prevention Interventions to Prevent New HIV Infections in the United Republic of Tanzania Under the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) | CDC RFA GH12 123604CONT16

Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH12 123604CONT16

The funding opportunity titled "Implementing Evidence Based Prevention Interventions to Prevent New HIV Infections in the United Republic of Tanzania Under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)" is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) grant action issued as a continuation award under PEPFAR. It is not a new, open competition. Instead, it is designed specifically to continue supporting existing work already funded under the earlier CDC announcement CDC-RFA-GH12-1236, which focused on implementing proven, evidence-based HIV prevention interventions in Tanzania. In practical terms, this means only organizations that previously received funding under that earlier award are intended to receive continuation funding through this announcement, and it is not structured for new applicants to enter.

Administratively, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH12 123604CONT16, with the category marked as "Continuation" and the funding instrument identified as a cooperative agreement. A cooperative agreement generally indicates substantial involvement by CDC in the funded activities, such as technical collaboration, monitoring, and joint planning, rather than a hands-off grant model. The activity category is health-related, and it is associated with CFDA number 93.067, which corresponds to CDC global health and related public health assistance authorities. The eligible applicant category is shown as "Others," but the narrative makes clear the real eligibility is limited to prior awardees under the referenced original funding announcement.

The purpose of the continued funding is to sustain and advance implementation of interventions that have already demonstrated effectiveness in reducing HIV transmission, with the overarching goal of preventing new HIV infections in Tanzania in alignment with PEPFAR priorities. While the listing itself does not spell out specific program components, the emphasis on "evidence based prevention interventions" signals a focus on prevention approaches backed by research and program evaluations, typically including combinations of behavioral, biomedical, and structural prevention strategies delivered through established service platforms. Because this is a continuation action, it would normally support ongoing activities, program scale-up, quality improvement, and performance monitoring rather than launching a wholly new set of initiatives.

Key posting details include an original closing date of 2015-10-21 and a creation date of 2015-09-22, indicating this was a time-limited administrative step in the grant lifecycle for existing recipients. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which often appears in continuation or modification notices when a standard competitive ceiling does not apply or when funding levels are determined through internal continuation decisions rather than open solicitation. The entry also does not specify the expected number of awards, which is consistent with a continuation mechanism where the number of recipients is predetermined by prior awards.

In short, this opportunity is best understood as a CDC/PEPFAR continuation cooperative agreement meant to keep proven HIV prevention programming in Tanzania moving forward by extending funding to previously selected grantees under CDC-RFA-GH12-1236, rather than a standalone funding call inviting new proposals.
