Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH15 151703CONT17
This funding opportunity is a continuation cooperative agreement issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through CDCs Center for Global Health, and it falls under the Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The program focus is on strengthening and improving prevention, treatment, and care services related to HIV, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and tuberculosis (TB) for mobile populations in the Dominican Republic. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at supporting ongoing work that helps reach people who move frequently or live and work in settings where consistent access to health services is harder to maintain, and where interruptions in prevention and care can increase transmission risks and worsen health outcomes.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means CDC expects to have substantial involvement with the recipient in planning, implementing, and monitoring the funded activities. Rather than being a simple pass-through grant, cooperative agreements often involve technical collaboration, shared decision-making on key program elements, and close performance oversight. The opportunity is categorized as continuation funding, signaling that it is intended to extend or continue an existing program effort rather than start a brand-new initiative from scratch. This also aligns with the listing of expected awards (10), which suggests multiple ongoing awards or partners may be supported under the continuation action, depending on program needs and prior awards.
The activity sits within the health funding category and is associated with CFDA number 93.067, which corresponds to CDC global health activities (including international HIV-related work under PEPFAR). While the notice does not list a specific dollar ceiling (the award ceiling is shown as 0), that typically indicates the ceiling is either not provided in the summary fields, varies by recipient, is determined by available appropriations, or is otherwise specified in the full announcement rather than in the high-level record. The absence of a public ceiling in the summary should not be read as no funding; it is more commonly a data field limitation or an indication that final funding levels are determined through CDC and PEPFAR planning processes.
The target populations are described broadly as mobile populations in the Dominican Republic, which can include groups such as migrant workers, cross-border travelers, seasonal laborers, mobile communities connected to agriculture or construction, and others who may experience higher vulnerability to HIV/STI/TB due to structural barriers like limited healthcare access, stigma, language barriers, lack of documentation, unstable housing, and frequent movement that disrupts prevention and treatment continuity. Programs under this type of initiative commonly prioritize approaches that reduce missed opportunities for testing and linkage to care, minimize treatment interruptions (particularly important for HIV antiretroviral therapy and TB treatment), and integrate or coordinate services so clients can receive consistent care even when their location changes.
Key service goals implied by the title include (1) prevention efforts that reduce new HIV and STI infections and limit TB transmission; (2) testing and diagnosis for HIV and other STIs, along with TB screening and evaluation; (3) linkage to and retention in care for people diagnosed with HIV and/or TB; and (4) treatment support and follow-up systems that work for people who are difficult to reach consistently due to mobility. In many PEPFAR-supported models, this can also involve strengthening referral networks, using peer navigation or community outreach, coordinating with local clinics and public health entities, and improving data systems to track clients across service points in ways that respect confidentiality and legal protections.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified as CDC RFA GH15-151703CONT17, created on October 16, 2016, with an original closing date of December 20, 2016. Eligibility is listed as Others, with a note to consult the full announcement text for details, which typically means eligibility is limited to a specific set of organizations (often existing recipients, specific partner types, or entities meeting particular criteria tied to the continuation). The overall purpose is to sustain and strengthen PEPFAR-aligned HIV/STI/TB programming in the Dominican Republic, with an emphasis on making prevention and care systems work effectively for populations whose movement and circumstances can otherwise lead to gaps in services and poorer public health outcomes.Apply for CDC RFA GH15 151703CONT17
