Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH20 2085
This funding opportunity, titled "Quality Facility and Community-Based HIV Prevention, Case Finding, Care and Treatment, and Viral Suppression to Reach Epidemic Control in Cameroon under PEPFAR," is a CDC cooperative agreement (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA GH20 2085) designed to accelerate progress toward HIV epidemic control in Cameroon by strengthening both facility-based and community-based approaches across the full HIV clinical cascade. It is part of the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and focuses on improving the quality, targeting, and impact of HIV services in five regions of Cameroon through a mix of direct service implementation and hands-on technical assistance to local systems.
The CDC anticipates an approximate total funding level of $60,000,000 for the first year, contingent on the availability of funds, with an expectation of up to two awards. Notably, the notice lists the Year 1 award ceiling as "0 (none)," which typically means there is no preset cap per award in the announcement rather than implying there is no money available; the practical funding expectation is reflected in the stated total anticipated amount. Applications were due February 27, 2020, submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, uses a cooperative agreement mechanism (implying substantial CDC involvement in program direction and oversight), and is associated with CFDA 93.067. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning a wide range of organization types may apply, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full announcement.
Programmatically, the opportunity builds on prior investments in HIV case finding and clinical services in Cameroon and prioritizes strategies that move people efficiently from testing to sustained treatment and viral suppression. The core emphasis is on improving HIV case identification (finding undiagnosed people living with HIV), ensuring strong linkage to care, and supporting same-day initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) where appropriate. Beyond initiation, the announcement highlights adherence support and retention in care as essential, recognizing that long-term viral suppression depends on keeping clients engaged and consistently treated over time. The scope also explicitly includes prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) and improved early infant diagnosis (EID) uptake, signaling a major focus on identifying and treating infants exposed to HIV and ensuring pregnant and breastfeeding women receive effective prevention and treatment services.
A significant portion of the funded work is expected to involve technical assistance and capacity building alongside service delivery. In practice, this means recipients are expected not only to implement HIV services but also to strengthen the ability of facilities, community partners, and subnational systems to deliver high-quality HIV programming sustainably. Health systems strengthening is an explicit objective, which commonly includes improving service delivery quality, data systems and use of data for decision-making, supply chain and commodity management for HIV tests and ART, workforce performance, supportive supervision, and overall program management that enables scale and consistent standards across sites.
The NOFO also stresses "high quality, well-targeted, innovative strategies" and requires differentiated models for HIV case identification, care, and treatment, especially for key and priority populations. The announcement names groups such as infants, children, adolescents, men, and pregnant and breastfeeding women, while also leaving room for additional key and priority population groups based on local epidemiology and program needs. Differentiated approaches generally mean tailoring service delivery to the needs and circumstances of specific populations, such as flexible service hours for men, youth-friendly services for adolescents, integrated maternal and child health-HIV services for pregnant and breastfeeding women, and intensified case finding and follow-up strategies for infants and children.
Overall, the opportunity is structured to push measurable gains along the HIV cascade: finding people living with HIV who do not yet know their status, rapidly linking them to care, starting ART quickly (including same-day initiation strategies), keeping clients retained and adherent, and achieving and maintaining viral suppression. By combining community-based and facility-based interventions with targeted technical assistance and broader health systems strengthening, the CDC is positioning recipients to deliver comprehensive, regionally focused programming that can drive Cameroon closer to epidemic control outcomes under PEPFAR.Apply for CDC RFA GH20 2085
