Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH 23 0018
This funding opportunity (CDC RFA GH 23 0018) is a PEPFAR-supported cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), focused on strengthening Zimbabwe's national HIV response through sustainable, innovative, and adaptable community- and facility-based services. The overarching purpose is to support Zimbabwe's Ministry of Health and Child Care (MOHCC) to deliver a full spectrum of HIV prevention, testing, treatment, and long-term care services in ways that accelerate epidemic control and maintain progress over time. The program is designed to reach all populations, with specific attention to priority populations (PPs), key populations (KPs), and other sub-populations that experience higher risk, barriers to care, or worse outcomes.
The expected total funding amount for the first year is approximately $30,000,000, contingent on available funds, and CDC anticipates making around three awards. The notice lists an award ceiling for Year 1 as "0 (none)," which typically signals that there is no fixed maximum per award stated in the announcement, rather than indicating that no funding will be provided. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning CDC will likely have substantial involvement in program direction, monitoring, and collaboration during implementation. Eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional eligibility details that may appear in the full notice text.
Programmatically, the opportunity is built around achieving and sustaining the global 95-95-95 targets: 95 percent of people living with HIV know their status, 95 percent of those diagnosed are on antiretroviral therapy (ART), and 95 percent of those on ART achieve viral suppression. To move toward these outcomes, applicants are expected to support comprehensive HIV prevention and clinical cascade interventions across community and health facility settings. Prevention activities specifically highlighted include dissemination of accurate health information and education, scale-up and support for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and other biomedical HIV prevention interventions. The scope anticipates close coordination with other implementing partners, including collaboration to support the DREAMS initiative (Determined, Resilient, Empowered, AIDS-free, Mentored and Safe), with an expectation that services for KPs and PPs are aligned and mutually reinforcing rather than fragmented.
On the treatment and care side, the notice emphasizes strengthening the HIV clinical cascade through approaches that improve identification of people with undiagnosed HIV and quickly link them to effective services. This includes high-yield case finding strategies (approaches that prioritize testing where positivity is likely to be higher), rapid ART initiation, and strong continuity of care systems to reduce loss to follow-up and improve retention. Ongoing monitoring is a major element, particularly viral load (VL) testing and the use of VL results to guide adherence support and clinical decision-making. The program also highlights management of advanced HIV disease (AHD), recognizing that a subset of clients present late or return to care with serious immunosuppression and need more intensive diagnostic and treatment packages.
The opportunity also calls for integrated management of co-infections and comorbidities, with specific mention of tuberculosis (TB) and other co-infections or chronic conditions, reflecting the practical reality that HIV outcomes depend heavily on how well these related health issues are identified and treated. In addition, cervical cancer screening and treatment are included as core supported services, aligning with the elevated cervical cancer risk among women living with HIV and the importance of integrating screening into routine HIV care. Applicants are also expected to support evidence-based differentiated service delivery (DSD) models, meaning service delivery should be tailored to client needs and stability (for example, multi-month dispensing and less frequent visits for stable clients, and more intensive support for those with adherence challenges or clinical complications), with the goal of improving quality, patient experience, and system efficiency.
A further priority area is elimination of mother-to-child transmission (eMTCT). The award is intended to help strengthen prevention, identification, and treatment services for pregnant and breastfeeding women, along with follow-up services that protect infants and ensure mothers remain engaged in care and virally suppressed. While the summary does not list every specific PMTCT intervention, the inclusion of eMTCT signals an expectation of strong integration with maternal, newborn, and child health service points and robust retention and monitoring for mothers and exposed infants.
Geographically, implementation is planned for selected provinces supported by PEPFAR/CDC in Zimbabwe, but the notice makes clear that exact locations may shift based on changes in disease burden, program gaps, evolving national and PEPFAR priorities, and updated PEPFAR guidance. This implies the funded partners must be able to operate in a responsive, data-driven way, adapting to where need is greatest and where performance improvements are most urgently required. The application was originally due March 13, 2023 (11:59 pm ET), and the CFDA/Assistance Listing number associated with the opportunity is 93.067 under the health funding activity category.Apply for CDC RFA GH 23 0018
