Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH22 2205
This funding opportunity, titled "Technical Assistance Towards Strengthening Faith Based Organizations (FBOs) in Achieving Comprehensive HIV/AIDS/TB/STI Prevention, Care and Treatment Services in Zambia under PEPFAR," is a CDC cooperative agreement focused on strengthening faith-based health systems in Zambia through targeted technical assistance rather than direct service expansion. The program is designed to help faith-based organizations and their affiliated health facilities improve the quality, reach, and management of HIV services across the full continuum, from prevention and identifying people with HIV, to treatment initiation, retention in care, and ongoing client monitoring. A central theme is improving access for populations that are often missed, especially people in rural and hard-to-reach areas and communities closely connected to faith institutions.
The CDC’s intent is to fund one recipient to provide structured, hands-on technical support across CDC-supported provinces where faith-based facilities operate. The technical assistance is explicitly aimed at communities located around faith-based health facilities, with an emphasis on making sure that high-quality services reach underserved groups. This includes strengthening how facilities and communities connect so that people can move smoothly between community-level touchpoints and facility-based clinical care, reducing drop-off at key steps like testing, linkage to treatment, and long-term retention.
A major operational component of the opportunity is support for linkage to the community through community posts (CPs). The recipient is expected to provide technical guidance that protects and reinforces the early foundation of the CP model, meaning the program wants community posts to function as intended and not drift away from the model’s core purpose. In practical terms, this focuses on ensuring that community-level points of service properly identify clients, connect them to facility care, and support follow-up so people do not fall out of care after initial contact.
While HIV is the primary focus, the scope extends to closely related conditions and programs that commonly intersect with HIV care in Zambia. The recipient is expected to provide technical assistance to support TB programming, cervical cancer services, and the management of other HIV-related opportunistic infections, particularly through faith-based facilities serving rural and hard-to-reach communities. This reflects a more integrated approach, recognizing that strengthening HIV platforms often improves outcomes for TB and other co-morbidities that significantly affect people living with HIV.
The opportunity also places strong expectations on strengthening the underlying systems that enable reliable service delivery. Beyond clinical and programmatic improvement, the recipient must provide technical assistance in data management and use, as well as financial and administrative management. This includes helping faith-based facilities produce, manage, and use high-quality data for decision-making and reporting, while also building sound administrative and financial practices that support accountability and sustainability. Laboratory services are included as another technical assistance area, highlighting the need for strong diagnostic and monitoring capacity as part of effective HIV treatment and broader clinical care. Human resources for health (HRH) support is also part of the scope, indicating that workforce capacity, staffing models, training, and supervision structures are viewed as essential to improving service quality and continuity.
Quality assurance and standardization across implementing partners is a clear expectation. The recipient is responsible for ensuring that direct service delivery (DSD) faith-based implementing partners meet quality standards across all supported faith-based health facilities and their affiliated community posts. This implies ongoing mentorship, supportive supervision, performance monitoring, and practical problem-solving to address gaps in service quality, adherence to guidelines, and consistent implementation of evidence-based approaches across multiple sites.
From an administrative standpoint, the award is issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Center for Global Health, under a discretionary funding mechanism using a cooperative agreement structure. The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA GH22 2205, and it is associated with CFDA number 93.067. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning a wide range of entity types may apply as long as they meet any additional criteria described in the full notice. The posting indicates an expected single award.
In terms of funding, the notice lists an Award Ceiling for Year 1 as 0 (none), which typically signals that a fixed per-award maximum is not being stated in the ceiling field even though funds are expected to be available. At the same time, CDC indicates it anticipates an approximate total fiscal year funding amount of $5,000,000 for Year 1, contingent on the availability of funds. The opportunity was created on December 30, 2021, with an original closing date of February 28, 2022, and electronic applications were due by 11:59 pm Eastern Time on the deadline date.
Overall, the grant is best understood as a technical assistance initiative meant to improve performance, quality, and reach of faith-based HIV platforms in Zambia, especially in rural and underserved areas. It prioritizes strengthening community-to-facility linkages through community posts, integrating HIV work with TB and cervical cancer support, and building the operational backbone needed for sustained results: data systems, labs, financial and administrative management, and workforce support, all while holding faith-based service delivery partners to consistent quality standards across facilities and community posts.Apply for CDC RFA GH22 2205
