Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH20 2020
This grant opportunity, titled "Improving Prevention, Treatment, and Care Services for HIV, TB, and Other Infectious Diseases in Target Populations in the Dominican Republic under PEPFAR," is a CDC-funded cooperative agreement designed to accelerate progress toward HIV epidemic control in the Dominican Republic, with a specific focus on individuals of Haitian descent. The program is framed around strengthening performance across the entire HIV treatment cascade in high-burden settings, using targeted, evidence-based approaches that improve how people are reached, tested, linked to services, started on treatment, and supported to remain in long-term care. The overarching intent is to push measurable gains toward the global 95-95-95 goals in areas where HIV burden and barriers to care are highest.
Funding is anticipated at approximately $7,000,000 for the first fiscal year, contingent on available funds. The Notice of Funding Opportunity lists an award ceiling for Year 1 as "0 (none)," which typically signals that CDC did not set a fixed upper cap per individual award in the announcement and instead expects budgets to be justified by proposed scope and CDC priorities. The CDC anticipated making about two awards. Applications were due January 25, 2020 (by 11:59 p.m. ET) under Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH20 2020, Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) 93.067. The opportunity is classified as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning recipients should expect substantial programmatic involvement from CDC, including alignment with PEPFAR strategies, reporting expectations, and ongoing technical collaboration.
Program activities are centered in four priority provinces: Distrito Nacional, Santo Domingo, Santiago, and La Altagracia. These locations reflect areas where concentrated transmission, service gaps, or disparities affecting the target population are significant. While the initial scope is geographically defined, the announcement also notes the possibility of later expansion to other populations or geographic areas based on evolving epidemiologic need and PEPFAR prioritization. That flexibility suggests the award is meant to be responsive to surveillance data and program performance over time, rather than fixed permanently to the initial footprint.
The NOFO emphasizes that epidemic control in hard-to-reach populations requires a balanced set of interventions, not just testing or treatment alone. Four core components are highlighted as essential: innovative and easily accessible HIV testing; rapid and effective linkage to care for those newly diagnosed; high-quality clinical and supportive care that is time-efficient and patient-centered; and strong, science-based interventions that improve retention and sustained viral suppression. In practical terms, applicants are expected to propose strategies that reduce drop-offs at each stage of the cascade, such as making testing easier to access, shortening delays between diagnosis and treatment initiation, improving service quality and client experience, and addressing structural or social barriers that lead to missed visits or discontinuation of ART.
Because this is a PEPFAR-aligned award, the program is expected to operate within established PEPFAR norms: focusing resources on high-yield interventions, using data to guide targeting and continuous improvement, and prioritizing measurable outcomes like increased case identification in priority networks, faster linkage, higher treatment coverage, and improved viral suppression and retention. Although the title references TB and other infectious diseases, the description foregrounds HIV epidemic control and the HIV clinical cascade, implying that TB and related infectious disease activities may be integrated where relevant (for example, through screening, referral, or coordinated care for co-infections), particularly in populations facing overlapping risks and health access challenges.
A defining feature of the opportunity is its collaborative implementation model. Recipients are expected to work closely with national and local partners, including the Dominican Republic Ministry of Health (MOH), the National Health Services (SNS), and a range of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and community-based organizations (CBOs). This reflects a design that relies on coordination across government systems, clinical service delivery platforms, and community networks to reach marginalized groups, reduce stigma and access barriers, and ensure continuity of care. The emphasis on partnership also signals that applicants should be prepared to align with national strategies, integrate with existing service platforms, share data appropriately, and build local capacity in ways that support sustainability beyond the award period.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition was broadly open to many entity types, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full announcement. Overall, the opportunity is aimed at organizations capable of delivering high-impact, targeted HIV service improvements in priority provinces, using innovative outreach and testing approaches, strengthening linkage and clinical services, and implementing retention interventions grounded in evidence, all while coordinating closely with Dominican public health authorities and community partners to move the country closer to HIV epidemic control among individuals of Haitian descent.Apply for CDC RFA GH20 2020
