Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH18 1821
The grant opportunity, titled "Enhanced Integrated Surveillance, Prevention, and Treatment for Key and Priority Populations in the Republic of Uganda under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," is a CDC-funded cooperative agreement focused on strengthening Uganda's HIV response for key and priority populations (KP/PP). These groups face a higher burden of HIV and often encounter major barriers to prevention and treatment services, including stigma, discrimination, and limited availability of services that are designed around their needs. The central purpose of the program is to improve how Uganda designs, delivers, and tracks targeted HIV combination prevention and related services so that KP/PP can more readily access and use them. By increasing uptake and improving quality of services among these higher-risk sub-populations, the program is intended to help drive progress toward the 90-90-90 targets and support the broader goal of epidemic control.
A major part of the work emphasized in the opportunity is technical assistance to CDC comprehensive regional implementing partners in Uganda. Rather than simply funding direct service delivery alone, the award is structured to help implementing partners develop, monitor, and evaluate improved approaches for combination prevention tailored to KP/PP. This includes helping partners test and refine new service delivery models, build stronger monitoring systems, and generate practical evidence about what works best in different settings. The idea is to move beyond one-size-fits-all programming and instead support approaches that are accessible, appropriate, and specifically targeted to the needs and realities of KP/PP in Uganda.
Training and stigma reduction are also core components. The recipient is expected to help implement and evaluate a nationwide training on gender and sexual identity, and to support the cascading of KP-focused training to health workers across the country. The intent is to reduce stigma and discrimination within health services, since negative provider attitudes and lack of understanding can discourage KP/PP from seeking testing, prevention tools, and ongoing HIV treatment. By strengthening the capacity of health workers and normalizing respectful, confidential, competent care, the program aims to make routine health facilities and partner-supported service points more usable and safer for KP/PP.
Strategic information activities are another central pillar of the grant. The award places clear emphasis on improving routine surveillance data systems and strengthening the evidence base needed for planning and decision-making. This includes improving the collection and use of routine program and surveillance data, mapping KP/PP hotspots to better understand where services are most needed, and evaluating interventions to determine effectiveness and inform scale-up. In practice, these activities help ensure that limited resources are directed toward the highest-yield locations and approaches, and that program adjustments are driven by data rather than assumptions.
The opportunity also highlights direct support to the Ugandan Ministry of Health to improve national HIV surveillance among KP/PP. This includes strengthening population size estimates and conducting bio-behavioral studies, both of which are critical for understanding the scale of need, characterizing risk patterns, and tracking trends over time. Alongside surveillance improvements, the recipient is expected to support development of comprehensive national guidelines for service provision to KP/PP, helping standardize quality, reduce inconsistency across regions, and institutionalize approaches that improve access and outcomes.
From an administrative standpoint, the funding mechanism is a discretionary cooperative agreement (meaning CDC expects substantial involvement and collaboration during implementation). The opportunity number is CDC RFA GH18 1821 under CFDA 93.067. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, opening the competition broadly to qualified applicants. The award ceiling is $1,200,000, with an expected total of two awards. The opportunity was created on 2017-09-08, with an original closing date of 2020-04-22. Overall, the grant is designed to strengthen Uganda's ability to reach KP/PP with effective, data-driven, and stigma-reducing HIV prevention and treatment approaches, while also improving national surveillance and guidelines so that gains can be sustained and scaled.Apply for CDC RFA GH18 1821
