Building Systems and Capacity within the Cambodian Ministry of Health to Prevent New HIV Infections and AIDS-Related Deaths in Cambodia through PEPFAR Support to the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Dermatology, and STDS (NCHADS) under the President’s | CDC RFA GH13 130304CONT16

Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH13 130304CONT16

This funding opportunity is a continuation cooperative agreement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). Its focus is Cambodia, specifically strengthening the Cambodian Ministry of Health by supporting the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Dermatology, and STDs (NCHADS). The overall aim is to build sustainable systems and national capacity that help prevent new HIV infections and reduce AIDS-related deaths through improved public health programming, management, and service delivery.

A key point is that this is not an open competition. It is explicitly continuation funding, meaning the funds are intended only for organizations that were already funded under the prior award identified as CDC-RFA-GH13-1303. In practice, that limits eligibility to existing grantees continuing previously approved work, rather than inviting new applicants. The opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means CDC expects to have substantial programmatic involvement with the recipient during implementation (for example, providing technical guidance, coordination support, and joint planning), rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal involvement.

The opportunity falls under the health funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.067. The listed eligible applicant type is "Others," but because it is continuation funding, the real eligibility constraint is prior award status under the referenced funding announcement. The opportunity number is CDC RFA GH13 130304CONT16, indicating a continuation action related to the original GH13-1303 award. The posting shows an original closing date of 2015-11-24 and a creation date of 2015-09-24, placing it in the context of maintaining ongoing PEPFAR-supported activities during that period.

Programmatically, the title and description signal a systems-strengthening emphasis within NCHADS and the Ministry of Health rather than a narrowly defined standalone service project. That typically includes activities such as improving national HIV program planning and coordination, enhancing monitoring and evaluation systems, strengthening data quality and use for decision-making, building workforce and management capacity, supporting guideline and policy implementation, and reinforcing the infrastructure needed to deliver and sustain HIV prevention and treatment services. The intended public health outcomes are the two core PEPFAR-aligned goals stated in the title: fewer new HIV infections and fewer AIDS-related deaths in Cambodia, achieved by reinforcing national leadership and operational capacity through NCHADS.

The award ceiling is listed as 0 and the expected number of awards is not specified in the provided data, which is common in continuation notices where funding levels can depend on appropriations, continuation recommendations, and approved workplans rather than a competitively stated maximum. In short, this notice documents CDC's intent to continue supporting an existing partner to help NCHADS and Cambodia's Ministry of Health maintain and strengthen national HIV systems and capacity under PEPFAR, rather than to launch a new, open application cycle.
