Strengthening Public Health Capacity, Strategic Information Systems, and Community Engagement through Cooperation and Support Services from the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) under PEPFAR

The Award Ceiling for Year 1 is 0 (none). CDC anticipates an Approximate Total Fiscal Year Funding amount of $10,000,000 for Year 1, subject to the availability of funds. As global resources are shifting, the global response to the HIV epidemic has also shifted to focusing on achieving a sustainable epidemic control with the long-term goal of ending the HIV epidemic by 2030. PEPFAR and UNAIDS have developed strategies to control the epidemic by using evidence-based interventions for populations found to be at the greatest risk. By focusing on a data-driven approach of doing the right things, in the right places, at the right time, PEPFAR and the global community can achieve the most impact from investments and achieve control of the epidemic and an end to AIDS by 2030. This notice of funding opportunity (NOFO), while broadly encompassing multiple technical areas, will maintain an overall focus on leveraging CDC and UNAIDS' comparative strengths for collaboration to provide technical assistance and guidance to PEPFAR-supported countries/regions as well as the larger global community to: better understand the scope, magnitude, and location of the epidemic; more accurately predict how and where it is changing to inform the global HIV/AIDS response; and improve and enhance community led networks to improve HIV services and thus health outcomes for people living with HIV (PLHIV).
