Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH11 115305CONT16
This grant opportunity, titled "Expanding Coverage and Improving the Quality of Facility and Community-Based Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission of HIV Programs in Two Regions of Cameroon under PEPFAR," is a continuation funding announcement from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It sits within the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) framework and focuses specifically on strengthening and extending prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) HIV services in two regions of Cameroon. The overall intent implied by the title and description is to increase the reach of PMTCT programs and improve how well those programs perform, both in health facilities (such as clinics and hospitals) and through community-based service delivery and support.
The opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the CDC is expected to have substantial involvement in the supported work rather than acting only as a passive funder. Cooperative agreements typically involve close technical collaboration, shared planning, and ongoing monitoring of progress against program goals. The activity category is health, and the listed CFDA number is 93.067, which corresponds to CDC global health-related assistance. The funding instrument and category suggest that the work is programmatic and implementation-oriented, with an emphasis on measurable improvements in public health outcomes and service quality.
A key practical detail is that this is continuation funding only. The announcement explicitly states that the award is intended solely for organizations that were previously funded under the earlier funding opportunity announcement (FOA) identified as CDC-RFA-GH11-1153. In other words, it is not an open competition for new applicants; it is designed to extend or continue support to an existing grantee or set of grantees already operating under the referenced PMTCT program in Cameroon. The eligible applicant field is listed as "Others," but the continuation-only restriction effectively narrows eligibility to the prior award recipients under that specific FOA.
The source data shows the funding opportunity number as CDC RFA GH11 115305CONT16 and identifies the opportunity category as continuation. The original closing date is October 23, 2015, and the creation date is September 17, 2015, placing this announcement in the context of ongoing PEPFAR programming during that period. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which often indicates that a specific maximum amount is not provided in the public synopsis or may be determined through internal budgeting, continuation award calculations, or negotiations tied to the existing cooperative agreement rather than through a new competitive ceiling. The expected number of awards is not specified in the provided fields, which is common for continuation announcements where the number of recipients is already largely predetermined by prior awards.
From a programmatic standpoint, the focus on both facility-based and community-based PMTCT highlights a combined strategy: improving clinical services delivered during antenatal care, labor and delivery, and postnatal follow-up, while also strengthening community linkages that help identify pregnant women early, encourage attendance at antenatal visits, support adherence to antiretroviral therapy, reduce loss to follow-up, and promote infant HIV testing and follow-up care. Although the synopsis does not list specific activities, the phrasing "expanding coverage" and "improving the quality" typically points to efforts like increasing service availability and uptake, improving clinical and counseling practices, enhancing referral and retention systems, strengthening data collection and reporting, and ensuring consistent implementation of PMTCT standards of care across participating sites and communities.
In short, this CDC/PEPFAR continuation cooperative agreement is meant to sustain and advance an existing PMTCT initiative in two regions of Cameroon by expanding access to services and improving the quality and effectiveness of both health facility and community-based components, and it is reserved for the prior grantee(s) originally funded under FOA CDC-RFA-GH11-1153.Apply for CDC RFA GH11 115305CONT16
