Opportunity Information: Apply for 72051722RFA00002
The USAID "Building Resilience amongst Families affected with HIV" activity is a health-focused funding opportunity designed to strengthen HIV outcomes among Haitian migrants and Dominicans of Haitian descent living in the Dominican Republic. The central goal is to improve health and overall wellbeing while also boosting socioeconomic stability and educational outcomes for vulnerable children, adolescents, and families impacted by HIV. By addressing the real-life barriers that often prevent consistent prevention, testing, and treatment, the activity is intended to support the Dominican Republic in reaching HIV epidemic control and sustaining long-term reductions in new HIV transmission, aligning with broader PEPFAR priorities in-country.
A core feature of the program is the use of comprehensive case management for eligible clients and their household members. Rather than focusing only on clinical care, the approach is child-centered and family-based, recognizing that HIV risk and treatment success are closely tied to the household environment. Services are meant to respond to multiple, interconnected needs, including health, education, economic challenges, and safety concerns. The practical intention is to stabilize families enough that people living with HIV can stay on treatment and adhere consistently, while family members at risk can access prevention services and avoid new infections. The case management model described follows a structured pathway: identifying eligible children and families, enrolling them, assessing their needs, building an individualized case plan, and then implementing and monitoring that plan until the household is ready to "graduate" from support.
The activity specifically targets households that include people living with HIV who are Haitian migrants or Dominicans of Haitian descent residing in the Dominican Republic, described in the opportunity as "priority populations." Within those households, the grant emphasizes three key subgroups: (1) children, adolescents, and caregivers who are living with HIV; (2) HIV-exposed infants; and (3) HIV-negative family members of HIV-positive caregivers or siblings, who may need prevention support and services. The notice also leaves room to include additional highly vulnerable populations, but only with USAID/Dominican Republic concurrence and in line with PEPFAR/DR priorities, signaling that the program is meant to remain tightly connected to national and donor strategy.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this opportunity was issued by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), specifically USAID-Santo Domingo, under funding opportunity number 72051722RFA00002. The instrument type is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates that USAID expects to remain substantially involved during implementation compared to a standard grant. The opportunity falls under the "Health" activity category and is listed under CFDA 98.001. Eligibility is broadly "unrestricted," meaning it is open to a wide range of entity types, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full application materials. USAID anticipated making one award, with an award ceiling of $11,200,000.
Key dates included a creation date of May 16, 2022, a question deadline of May 31, 2022 at 8:00 AM EST, and an application closing date of June 30, 2022 at 4:00 PM Eastern Standard Time. Overall, the opportunity is structured around the idea that achieving epidemic control is not only a matter of delivering clinical HIV services, but also of reducing social and structural barriers for families that are often marginalized, and ensuring that children and adolescents affected by HIV can remain safe, in school, and supported in stable households.Apply for 72051722RFA00002
