Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH16 166602CONT17
This funding opportunity, titled "Support for the Ministry of Health of Ukraine HIV Epidemiological Surveillance and Laboratory QM/QI systems, SI, and Public Health Capacity Building under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," is a continuation cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically within CDCs Center for Global Health. It sits within the health funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.067, which generally covers CDC global health programs and assistance. The overall purpose is to continue and strengthen CDC-supported work with Ukraines Ministry of Health to improve the national HIV response through better epidemiological surveillance, stronger laboratory quality systems, improved strategic information, and broader public health capacity building aligned with PEPFAR priorities.
The program focus is on reinforcing HIV epidemiological surveillance and the strategic information (SI) systems that underpin evidence-based decision-making. In practical terms, this type of support typically involves improving the collection, management, analysis, and use of HIV data so that national and regional health authorities can understand where transmission is occurring, which populations are most affected, how well prevention and treatment programs are performing, and where resources should be directed. Stronger SI usually means improving routine reporting, integrating data across services and sites, enhancing data quality assurance, developing standard indicators and definitions, and building the capacity of national staff to analyze and interpret trends for program planning and performance monitoring.
Another core pillar is laboratory quality management and quality improvement (QM/QI) systems. This generally refers to strengthening the systems and practices that ensure HIV-related laboratory testing is accurate, reliable, timely, and consistent across sites. A QM/QI emphasis often includes establishing or improving quality management frameworks, implementing quality control and external quality assessment approaches, strengthening standard operating procedures, improving training and competency assessments for laboratory personnel, and supporting accreditation-oriented processes where relevant. Reliable lab systems are essential for HIV diagnosis, monitoring, and surveillance, and they directly affect patient care and the credibility of national data.
The opportunity also highlights public health capacity building, indicating that the award is designed not only to fund service activities but to build durable national capabilities. Capacity building in this context commonly includes workforce development, institutional strengthening, technical assistance to develop or update national guidelines and protocols, and support to improve coordination mechanisms between public health institutions and partners. Under PEPFAR, these activities are typically intended to help the host country manage and sustain key functions such as surveillance, laboratory oversight, and data-driven program management.
Structurally, this is a cooperative agreement, meaning CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the work as compared to a more hands-off grant. Cooperative agreements usually involve close technical collaboration, joint planning, and ongoing performance monitoring between CDC and the recipient. The listing also shows it is a continuation opportunity, which signals it is meant to extend or renew existing work rather than start a brand-new initiative from scratch, often for current partners that are already implementing related activities and have established relationships with the Ministry of Health and national systems.
Administratively, the funding opportunity number is CDC RFA GH16-166602CONT17. The notice was created on February 12, 2017, with an original closing date of April 6, 2017. The expected number of awards is listed as 10, suggesting CDC anticipated supporting multiple recipients or partners under this continuation framework. The award ceiling is shown as 0, which typically indicates that a specific maximum funding amount was not provided in the synopsis and would instead be defined in the full announcement, the budget guidance, or through continuation funding decisions tied to availability of funds and approved workplans.
Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with a note directing applicants to additional eligibility language in the full announcement. In many CDC continuation funding contexts, this can mean eligibility is limited or specialized, sometimes focused on existing implementers, specific types of organizations, or entities that meet particular criteria set out in the detailed eligibility section. The sponsoring agency is CDC under HHS, reinforcing that the program is rooted in public health systems strengthening and technical assistance rather than only direct clinical service delivery.
Taken together, the opportunity is best understood as continued PEPFAR-aligned support to the Government of Ukraine, through the Ministry of Health and associated institutions, to improve the foundational public health infrastructure needed for an effective HIV response: high-quality surveillance that produces actionable epidemiological insights, laboratory systems that ensure trustworthy testing and monitoring, strategic information systems that translate data into program decisions, and workforce and institutional capacity that make those improvements sustainable over time.Apply for CDC RFA GH16 166602CONT17
