Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH19 1904
This funding opportunity, titled "Strengthening the Ministry of Health's Capacity to Sustain and Expand Quality HIV Prevention, Care and Treatment Services for People Living with HIV in Vietnam through Focused Direct Service Support, Technical Assistance, and Innovations under PEPFAR" (CDC RFA GH19-1904), is a PEPFAR-supported cooperative agreement run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), under CFDA 93.067. It was created on August 9, 2018, with applications originally due October 8, 2018 (submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. ET). The award is structured as a single anticipated award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an award ceiling of $6,000,000, indicating CDC planned to fund one primary implementer at a scale large enough to influence national and regional systems rather than many small projects.
The core purpose of the opportunity is to help Vietnam sustain and expand effective HIV services during a major transition in international support. The description emphasizes that PEPFAR was pivoting to concentrate resources in two regions of Vietnam to reach the 90-90-90 targets by 2020 (90 percent of people living with HIV diagnosed, 90 percent of those diagnosed on treatment, and 90 percent of those on treatment virally suppressed), while simultaneously shifting away from broad direct service delivery (DSD) funding across the country. That combination creates both risk and opportunity: risk because reduced external funding can weaken essential activities like finding new cases, linking people to treatment, keeping them in care, and maintaining service quality; opportunity because it pushes the system toward sustainable, locally managed solutions led by the Government of Vietnam and the Ministry of Health.
The grant is framed around protecting continuity of care and moving the national program toward durable, affordable, high-quality HIV services for people living with HIV (PLHIV), particularly in the focus regions targeted for epidemic control. The problem statement is direct: with "drastically reduced funding for HIV programs," Vietnam must figure out how to keep national case finding and treatment services functioning at high performance. In practical terms, this means preventing backsliding in testing coverage and yield, ensuring antiretroviral therapy (ART) access remains timely and uninterrupted, improving retention and adherence so patients stay on treatment, and safeguarding the quality of clinical management and program monitoring even as donor-funded staff and site-level support decreases.
CDC positions itself in the description as a long-term technical partner to the Vietnam Ministry of Health, with the intent to shift the center of gravity from donor-driven delivery to government-led systems that can maintain performance. Rather than focusing only on paying for clinic operations, the opportunity highlights three interlocking aims: first, supporting Vietnam to achieve epidemic control in select regions; second, introducing innovative models and technologies that make HIV prevention, diagnosis, care, and treatment more effective and efficient; and third, developing and sustaining an integrated HIV technical assistance (TA) network spanning national, regional, and provincial levels. A critical element is also strengthening the Ministry of Health's capacity to coordinate that TA function, so support is organized, consistent, and aligned with national priorities instead of being fragmented across different partners.
Taken together, the opportunity is essentially about managing a transition: maintaining enough focused direct service support where it is still needed to protect outcomes, while rapidly building Vietnamese institutional capacity to carry the program forward. The emphasis on innovation suggests CDC expected approaches that could improve impact per dollar, such as more targeted case-finding strategies, improved diagnostic and linkage workflows, differentiated service delivery models for stable patients, stronger use of data for performance management, and technology-enabled solutions that reduce burden on facilities while improving tracking of patients and results. The TA network concept suggests a hub-and-spoke style approach in which expertise is developed and deployed systematically across levels of the health system, with the MOH increasingly acting as the organizer and standard-setter.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which signals that the opportunity likely allowed a range of organizational applicants (often including NGOs, universities, and other entities) as long as they met CDC requirements and could credibly implement national-to-subnational technical support in Vietnam. Because the instrument is a cooperative agreement, the expectation is also that CDC would have substantial involvement in program direction, performance monitoring, and strategic alignment, rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal engagement.
In short, this NOFO funds a single, sizable implementing partner to help Vietnam's Ministry of Health sustain HIV prevention, care, and treatment outcomes during PEPFAR's funding shift, with a strong focus on achieving epidemic control in selected regions, deploying innovations to improve efficiency and effectiveness, and building a coordinated, multi-level technical assistance system that the MOH can lead over the long term.Apply for CDC RFA GH19 1904
