Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH15 159003CONT17
This grant opportunity is a continuation cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Center for Global Health, focused on expanding and sustaining comprehensive HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis (TB) services within Uganda's prisons. The program sits under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), which generally supports large-scale HIV prevention, care, and treatment programs and related health system strengthening activities. The specific emphasis here is on delivering integrated HIV and TB services to two core populations in the correctional setting: prisoners and prison service staff. In practical terms, the opportunity is about ensuring that people who live and work in prisons can access prevention services, clinical care, ongoing treatment, and supportive services in a coordinated way, recognizing that prisons are high-risk environments for both HIV and TB transmission due to close living quarters, limited access to routine healthcare, and the movement of individuals between facilities and communities.
The opportunity is identified as a continuation award (Opportunity Category: Continuation), meaning it is designed to extend or continue an existing, previously funded project rather than start an entirely new, open competition. It uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which typically indicates that CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the program implementation beyond standard grant oversight. This can include technical assistance, guidance on program strategy, performance monitoring expectations, and alignment with CDC and PEPFAR reporting and quality standards. The funding activity category is Health, and the associated CFDA number is 93.067, which corresponds to CDC global health assistance authorities often used for HIV-related work.
The program scope, as stated in the title and description, is comprehensive: prevention, care, support, and treatment for HIV/AIDS, alongside TB services. In a prison context, that usually implies a full cascade of services, such as HIV testing and counseling, prevention education, linkage to antiretroviral therapy (ART), clinical follow-up and viral load monitoring where available, adherence support, and management of opportunistic infections. For TB, comprehensive services commonly include screening and diagnostic evaluation for symptomatic individuals and high-risk groups, TB infection control measures, treatment for active TB, and coordination with national TB programs for continuity of care. The combined focus on HIV and TB is important because TB is a leading cause of illness and death among people living with HIV, and congregate settings like prisons can accelerate TB transmission without robust screening and infection control.
The intended beneficiaries include both incarcerated individuals and prison staff, which reflects a public health approach that treats the prison environment as a connected ecosystem. Staff can be at occupational risk and also serve as a bridge population between facilities and the broader community. By covering both groups, the program aims to reduce transmission, improve early case detection, and sustain treatment outcomes across the whole correctional system. Although the notice does not list detailed activities, a comprehensive prison-based HIV/TB program generally also involves strengthening service delivery platforms (for example, improving clinic operations inside facilities), training health workers and relevant prison personnel, ensuring consistent supply chains for HIV and TB commodities, supporting data systems for case tracking and reporting, and building referral pathways to community services when prisoners are transferred or released to avoid treatment interruption.
Administratively, the funding opportunity number is CDC RFA GH15-159003CONT17, and it was created on October 12, 2016, with an original closing date of December 12, 2016. The notice anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1), reinforcing that this is likely continuing support for a specific implementing partner already engaged in providing these services in Uganda's prisons under a prior agreement. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which often signals that the ceiling is not specified in the public synopsis or that the amount is determined through continuation budgeting rather than a competitive cap stated in the announcement. Eligibility is described broadly as "Others" with clarification in an additional eligibility field not included here, which is common in continuation actions where eligibility may be effectively limited to the current recipient or a narrow set of entities tied to an existing project structure.
Overall, the opportunity is a CDC/PEPFAR continuation cooperative agreement designed to maintain or scale integrated HIV/AIDS and TB prevention and treatment services in Uganda's prison system, targeting both inmates and prison staff, with strong CDC engagement in program direction and performance expectations, and with the operational intent of improving health outcomes and reducing transmission in a high-burden, high-risk institutional setting.Apply for CDC RFA GH15 159003CONT17
