Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH19 1914
This funding opportunity, issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is designed to strengthen South Africa's national, multi-sector response to HIV and tuberculosis (TB) by supporting the South African National AIDS Council Trust (SANAC Trust). It sits under PEPFAR and focuses less on direct clinical service delivery and more on the coordination, management, and monitoring systems that keep a large, multi-partner national strategy functioning effectively. The central premise is that South Africa's HIV and TB epidemics are too large and too interconnected to be addressed by the health sector alone, so stronger governance and coordination across government, civil society, and other sectors is essential to achieving epidemic control.
The opportunity is grounded in the scale of the public health challenge described in the notice. In 2017, South Africa's HIV burden was estimated at about 7.2 million people living with HIV out of a population of roughly 56.5 million, and the country is also ranked among the highest-burden TB countries globally, with substantial HIV/TB coinfection. These realities drive the need for an organized national plan and for mechanisms that ensure different stakeholders are aligned, accountable, and working toward shared targets. SANAC Trust is highlighted because it coordinated the development of South Africa's National Strategic Plan (NSP) for HIV, TB, and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) for 2017-2022, which sets national goals and outlines the multi-sector approach required to meet them.
The grant's purpose is to help SANAC Trust and its linked structures (at both national and sub-national levels) operate more effectively by building capacity, improving skills, and putting systems in place for day-to-day coordination and longer-term performance management. In practical terms, this means supporting the machinery that allows the NSP to be implemented consistently across provinces and districts, tracking whether planned activities are happening, monitoring progress against NSP indicators, and ensuring that multi-sector structures have the tools and processes to function. The notice emphasizes "effective coordination, management, monitoring, and functioning" of numerous structures connected to SANAC Trust, reflecting the complexity of running a national response that involves many partners, sectors, and layers of government.
A key outcome context provided by the announcement is the NSP's ambition to reduce new HIV infections to 88,000 by 2020, among other NSP goals. While the notice states that supported activities are not limited to that single target, it signals the kind of measurable, time-bound objectives the funded work is expected to reinforce. The underlying logic is that improved governance, stronger coordination platforms, and better monitoring and accountability systems increase the likelihood that prevention, treatment, TB control, and STI-related interventions are implemented at the right scale and quality, and that gaps are detected and addressed quickly.
Administratively, this opportunity is a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the CDC during implementation (for example, technical collaboration, joint planning, and ongoing program oversight) rather than a fully hands-off grant model. It is identified as Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH19 1914, under CFDA 93.067. The announcement anticipated a single award, with an award ceiling of $2,500,000. The funding opportunity was created on August 30, 2018, with an original application deadline of October 30, 2018, and electronic submissions required by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional clarification referenced in the full eligibility text of the notice.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as an investment in the national enabling environment for HIV/TB/STI programming in South Africa. Rather than funding one narrow intervention, it aims to strengthen the coordinating body and the connected multi-sector structures that align stakeholders, manage implementation of the NSP, and monitor whether the country's collective response is on track to meet ambitious epidemic control targets.Apply for CDC RFA GH19 1914
