Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH13 133603CONT16
This funding opportunity, titled "Comprehensive HIV and TB Prevention, Care and Treatment Services and Systems Strengthening, in Facilities of South Africa's Department of Correctional Services (DCS) under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," is a continuation grant administered by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It sits within the health assistance space (CFDA 93.067) and supports ongoing PEPFAR-aligned work focused specifically on HIV and tuberculosis prevention, clinical care, treatment, and health systems strengthening inside South Africa's correctional facilities operated by the Department of Correctional Services. The overall emphasis is on maintaining and strengthening comprehensive services in a setting with elevated risk of HIV and TB transmission, where continuity of care and coordinated public health programming are especially critical.
The opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the CDC is expected to have substantial involvement in the work beyond simply providing funds. In practice, cooperative agreements often involve close collaboration on planning, performance monitoring, technical guidance, and alignment with national strategies and PEPFAR program priorities. The goal is not only to deliver direct services but also to improve the underlying systems that make those services consistent, high-quality, and sustainable in correctional health environments. That can include strengthening clinical protocols, ensuring reliable testing and treatment pathways, improving referral systems, reinforcing monitoring and evaluation practices, and helping align facility-level health services with broader public health systems.
A key point of this notice is that it is not an open competition. It is explicitly continuation funding intended only for organizations that were previously awarded under the earlier CDC announcement CDC-RFA-GH13-1336, which covered the same program area: comprehensive HIV and TB services and systems strengthening in DCS facilities under PEPFAR. In other words, the eligible applicant pool is restricted to existing grantees from the prior award cycle, and the purpose is to continue and sustain that established work rather than start new projects with new partners. The listing shows "Eligible Applicants: Others," which in this context reflects the restricted continuation nature of the award rather than broad eligibility for new applicants.
Administratively, the opportunity number is CDC RFA GH13 133603CONT16, and it was created on 2015-10-05 with an original closing date of 2015-12-05. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which typically signals that a specific maximum amount is not being stated in the public synopsis, is determined through continuation budget negotiations, or is otherwise handled internally based on prior awards and available funds. The synopsis also does not specify the expected number of awards, reinforcing that this is a continuation action tied to an existing portfolio rather than a standard competitive grant round with a defined number of new awards.
In summary, this opportunity is best understood as a CDC/PEPFAR continuation cooperative agreement meant to keep established HIV and TB prevention, care, and treatment programming running in South Africa's correctional system while further strengthening the systems that support those services. It is aimed at prior recipients only, and it supports ongoing, coordinated public health work in DCS facilities rather than launching a new, open solicitation.Apply for CDC RFA GH13 133603CONT16
