Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA JG 25 0061
This funding opportunity, titled "Capacity building and technical assistance for sustainable community-led monitoring (CLM) of HIV services in Sierra Leone (SL) under PEPFAR," is a CDC cooperative agreement (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA JG 25 0061; CFDA: 93.067) focused on strengthening Sierra Leone's national HIV response by expanding and improving community-led monitoring. The central idea is to support a structured, sustainable way for communities and clients to routinely assess HIV services, share findings quickly, and help drive practical improvements at service delivery sites. The emphasis is not only on measuring performance, but also on making the monitoring process transparent, locally owned, and useful for decision-making by the Ministry of Health (MOH) and other stakeholders.
For funding, CDC notes that the award ceiling for Year 1 is listed as 0 (none), while also stating an anticipated approximate total funding amount of 350,000 for Year 1, dependent on available funds. Only one award is expected. The original application closing date is 2025-02-25, and the opportunity was created on 2024-12-09. Because this is a cooperative agreement, the award structure typically implies active involvement and substantial programmatic collaboration with CDC during implementation, rather than a hands-off grant model.
The objective of the award is to develop and carry out assessments that capture and report client experiences with HIV services in Sierra Leone and translate those findings into actionable insights for the MOH and partners. In practical terms, this means setting up or strengthening systems to collect data from clients and communities, analyze it quickly, and feed it back in ways that can trigger real-time problem solving. A major priority is identifying program gaps as they occur, then using the CLM findings to support continuous quality improvement. The opportunity is framed to promote national and community ownership, transparency, and long-term sustainability, meaning the monitoring should be designed to last beyond a short project window and be embedded in how services are routinely improved.
The monitoring and reporting focus areas are broad and aimed at both service access and quality. They include HIV prevention and testing services, along with treatment services such as linkage to care, retention, and viral load testing. The assessments also cover service provider perceptions, attitudes, and practices, recognizing that provider behavior and workplace norms can strongly shape client experience and outcomes. In addition, the opportunity explicitly includes monitoring stigma and discrimination, which are common barriers to testing, treatment adherence, and retention in care. Client satisfaction is another key domain, reinforcing that the program is meant to evaluate services from the user perspective, not only through clinical indicators.
A core requirement is that data analysis and presentation be done in close collaboration with community representatives, healthcare providers, clients, government stakeholders, and facility managers. The intent is to ensure findings are not produced in isolation or left as static reports, but instead used to drive dialogue across groups that influence service delivery. This collaborative approach is meant to create shared visibility of problems, agreement on priorities, and coordinated follow-through on solutions. The NOFO also highlights ongoing participation across agencies in identifying improvement opportunities, implementing changes, and then monitoring whether those changes actually work, reinforcing a cycle of feedback, action, and verification rather than one-time assessments.
Eligibility for applicants is broad, including various levels of government, public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations (including small businesses), tribal governments and organizations, public housing authorities, and other unrestricted applicants. The agency listed is Centers for Disease Control-GHC. Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a targeted investment in building the practical skills, tools, partnerships, and routines needed to make community-led monitoring a consistent, credible driver of HIV service improvement in Sierra Leone under the broader PEPFAR framework.Apply for CDC RFA JG 25 0061
