Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH17 1713
The grant opportunity titled "Technical Assistance to India's National AIDS Control Program (NACP) for Strengthening Adult and Pediatric Anti-retroviral Treatment (ART) and Care Services Delivery Network under PEPFAR" is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funding announcement designed to support a five-year technical assistance project in India. The overall purpose is to strengthen how HIV treatment and clinical care are delivered to both adults and children within India's National AIDS Control Program (NACP), aligning the work with priorities and geographic focus areas identified in PEPFAR India's Country Operational Plan. Rather than primarily financing direct service delivery, the emphasis is on improving the systems, skills, and service quality that underpin ART and HIV care so that India's network can deliver more consistent, effective, and patient-centered treatment at scale.
At its core, the project focuses on three connected forms of support: clinical mentoring, quality improvement, and capacity building. Clinical mentoring typically means helping clinicians and health teams apply up-to-date HIV treatment practices in day-to-day care, including management of antiretroviral therapy, monitoring treatment response, handling complications or co-infections, and improving pediatric HIV diagnosis and treatment continuity. Quality improvement refers to structured approaches to identify gaps in care, test and implement changes, and track performance over time, with the goal of raising standards across facilities and reducing variability in outcomes. Capacity building extends beyond individual training to strengthening facility and program-level capabilities so improvements are sustained within the national program, including building local leadership and institutional know-how.
The work is intended to cover the major types of facilities and service points through which India provides HIV care, treatment, and related support under the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO), which sits within India's Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. The scope includes Centres of Excellence (CoEs), which generally serve as higher-level clinical and training hubs; dedicated ART and ART Plus centers that provide antiretroviral treatment services; Linked ART centers that decentralize and extend treatment services closer to communities; and Care Support Centers (CSCs) that help connect people to services and support adherence and retention. By spanning these different levels of the service delivery network, the project aims to strengthen the full continuum of care, from specialist-led hubs to decentralized community-linked treatment points.
A key additional element of the opportunity is strengthening linkages for people living with HIV (PLHIV) to ART services, specifically to reinforce the "care cascade" from diagnosis to treatment initiation and long-term viral suppression. The announcement explicitly ties this to progress toward the 90-90-90 goals, a widely used global benchmark that aims for 90 percent of people living with HIV to know their status, 90 percent of those diagnosed to be on sustained ART, and 90 percent of those on ART to achieve viral suppression. In practice, this linkage focus often involves improving referral pathways, reducing delays between diagnosis and treatment start, supporting adherence and follow-up, and addressing drop-offs in care so that more patients remain engaged and successfully treated over time.
Administratively, the opportunity is issued by the CDC under the Center for Global Health (CGH) as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning the U.S. government expects substantial involvement and collaboration during implementation rather than a hands-off grant structure. The Funding Opportunity Number is CDC RFA GH17-1713, and it is listed under CFDA 93.067, a category associated with global HIV/AIDS activities. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, indicating no special applicant limitations were highlighted in the provided summary. The original application closing date was October 4, 2016, suggesting this is a past funding round rather than an open solicitation today. The award ceiling is listed as $1,000,000, with one expected award, meaning the CDC anticipated selecting a single organization or consortium to carry out the project within the stated budget limit.
Taken together, the grant is structured to help India strengthen the clinical and operational backbone of its HIV treatment system across multiple facility tiers, with a deliberate focus on mentorship-driven clinical improvement, measurable quality gains, and sustainable capacity. The intended impact is a stronger, better connected ART and care delivery network that improves patient outcomes and accelerates progress toward national and PEPFAR-aligned HIV targets, including 90-90-90.Apply for CDC RFA GH17 1713
