Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH18 1842
The grant opportunity titled "Accelerating Epidemic Control in Fort Portal Region in the Republic of Uganda under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)" is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement designed to speed up progress toward HIV epidemic control in Uganda's Fort Portal Region. The project focuses on delivering and scaling comprehensive HIV prevention, care, and treatment services across Kabarole, Bundibugyo, Kamwenge, Kasese, Kyegegwa, Kyenjojo, and Ntoroko districts, including all related municipalities. The overall intent is to improve the reach and quality of HIV programs in these areas while aligning service delivery with updated World Health Organization (WHO) guidance.
At the core of the work is an emphasis on finding people living with HIV who have not yet been diagnosed and quickly linking them to effective treatment. The program supports targeted HIV testing services (HTS) to identify more people living with HIV, with particular attention to men and key and priority populations, who are often harder to reach and may face greater barriers to testing and care. Once individuals are diagnosed, the program aims to ensure strong linkage to HIV care and rapid initiation and continuation of antiretroviral therapy (ART), supported by follow-up and retention strategies that keep people engaged in care over time.
The opportunity also explicitly integrates related health needs and high-impact prevention strategies. This includes TB/HIV prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, recognizing the close overlap between tuberculosis and HIV and the need for coordinated services. It also includes elimination of mother-to-child transmission (eMTCT) interventions to reduce new pediatric HIV infections by supporting testing and treatment for pregnant and breastfeeding women and appropriate services for infants. In addition, the program includes voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) as a proven prevention intervention, as well as services for orphans and vulnerable children (OVC), reflecting the broader social and health vulnerabilities that can affect HIV risk and long-term treatment outcomes.
A key feature of the grant is that it does not just fund direct service delivery; it also supports the systems that make those services work reliably at scale. The award supports associated laboratory services and strategic information (SI) functions, which typically include strengthening testing capacity, ensuring quality assurance, improving data systems, and using routine program data to guide decisions and monitor performance. The approach is framed as health systems strengthening, meaning the recipient is expected to build durable capacity within the regional and district health structures rather than operating as a parallel system.
Coordination with Uganda's Ministry of Health (MOH) is a central expectation. The recipient is expected to work closely with MOH to build technical capacity within regional structures and District Health Teams (DHTs), supporting a decentralized public health response that can plan, supervise, and continuously improve HIV services. This focus on subnational leadership and technical strengthening is intended to improve accountability, standardization, and sustainability of HIV programming in the Fort Portal Region.
The outcomes are tied to the global HIV treatment and prevention targets often referred to as the "90-90-90" goals: 90 percent of people living with HIV know their status, 90 percent of those diagnosed receive ART, and 90 percent of those on treatment achieve viral suppression. In practical terms, the grant is aimed at improving access, coverage, and quality across the full HIV service cascade, from identifying undiagnosed infections to achieving viral suppression and reducing onward transmission.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity from the CDC (agency component listed as Centers for Disease Control - CGH) and is issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC has substantial involvement during implementation compared to a standard grant. The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA GH18 1842, it falls under the health activity category, and it lists CFDA number 93.067. Eligibility is noted as unrestricted. The original closing date was 2020-04-25. The award ceiling is $19,867,300, and CDC anticipated making 2 awards under this announcement.
