Achieving and Sustaining TB/HIV Collaborative Activities in Cambodia under the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) | CDC RFA GH15 150702CONT16

Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH15 150702CONT16

The grant opportunity titled "Achieving and Sustaining TB/HIV Collaborative Activities in Cambodia under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)" is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funding action that supports ongoing, integrated tuberculosis (TB) and HIV programming in Cambodia under the broader PEPFAR initiative. The listing is not a new open competition; it is structured as continuation funding intended to maintain and extend work already underway through an earlier CDC award mechanism. In practical terms, the opportunity is designed to keep an existing TB/HIV collaboration platform functioning and improving over time, rather than to launch a new project led by new applicants.

This funding announcement is issued as a cooperative agreement, which signals that CDC expects substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds. Cooperative agreements typically involve close technical engagement, shared planning, performance monitoring, and coordination with national stakeholders, especially where activities must align with national strategies and global technical guidance. The activity area is categorized under Health, and it is associated with CFDA number 93.067, which corresponds to CDC global HIV and TB-related program support under PEPFAR-linked authorities.

Eligibility is effectively restricted. Although the eligibility field is broadly labeled as "Others," the description makes clear that the continuation award is intended only for organizations that were previously funded under the original funding opportunity announcement "CDC-RFA-GH15-1507." That means new organizations that did not receive the original award should not expect to be competitive or even eligible, because the continuation mechanism is meant to fund the next increment of an already approved and operating program. This kind of continuation notice usually reflects an intent to support an existing recipient in meeting approved objectives, maintaining service delivery coverage, and sustaining progress against agreed performance targets.

The specific focus implied by the title is TB/HIV collaborative activities in Cambodia, which generally refers to integrated approaches that reduce illness and death among people affected by both diseases. In many country contexts, this collaboration includes routine HIV testing for TB patients, systematic TB screening among people living with HIV, strengthened referral systems, coordination between TB and HIV clinics, and support for preventive and treatment services that address both infections. It often also includes building capacity within the Ministry of Health and partner institutions, improving surveillance and case reporting, ensuring quality assurance for diagnostic services, and supporting joint planning and monitoring frameworks that bring TB and HIV programs together rather than operating them in isolation. While the notice does not list detailed tasks or deliverables, the emphasis on "achieving and sustaining" suggests both improving program performance and ensuring that gains are maintained through stronger systems, coordination, and consistent implementation.

Key administrative details show that the CDC is the issuing agency and that the original closing date for the related action was November 24, 2015, with a creation date of September 24, 2015. The opportunity category is listed as "Continuation," reinforcing that it is tied to a prior award cycle. The "Award Ceiling" is shown as 0, which commonly appears in continuation or administrative records where a specific maximum is not posted in the public summary, is determined by the recipient's approved budget and annual allocation, or is otherwise handled through internal award documentation rather than a competitive cap. The number of expected awards is not specified in the provided data, which is also common for continuation actions that are expected to fund one or a small set of incumbent recipients rather than multiple new grantees.

Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a CDC-PEPFAR mechanism to keep an existing Cambodia TB/HIV integration program operating and progressing, with CDC remaining actively involved through a cooperative agreement structure. It is not an open solicitation for new proposals, but rather a continuation funding pathway for the prior recipient(s) under CDC-RFA-GH15-1507 to sustain and deepen collaborative TB/HIV activities aligned with national and PEPFAR priorities.
