Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH13 132804CONT16
The grant opportunity titled "Scaling Up Voluntary Male Circumcision to Prevent HIV Transmission" is a continuation funding announcement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) focused on supporting ongoing work to expand voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) as an evidence-based HIV prevention strategy. The purpose is not to launch new projects or bring in new organizations, but to continue financing activities already underway under a prior CDC funding announcement. In practical terms, it is designed to help existing, previously supported programs maintain momentum, stabilize service delivery, and continue implementing VMMC at scale in settings where reducing heterosexual HIV transmission remains a major public health priority.
This opportunity is listed as a continuation award, meaning eligibility is restricted. Only organizations that were previously funded under the earlier announcement "CDC-RFA-GH13-1328 Scaling Up Voluntary Male Circumcision to Prevent HIV Transmission" are intended to receive these funds. Because of that limitation, the "Eligible Applicants" category is effectively narrow even though it is labeled broadly as "Others." The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a substantial level of CDC involvement in program implementation and oversight. Under a cooperative agreement, the CDC generally provides not only funds but also technical guidance, collaborative planning, and performance monitoring, so recipients can be expected to coordinate closely with CDC staff and adhere to specific reporting and programmatic expectations.
The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA GH13 132804CONT16, and it falls under the Health funding activity category. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 93.067, which identifies the federal assistance listing connected to this type of public health support. The opportunity was created on 2015-09-30, with an original closing date of 2015-11-30. The listing shows an award ceiling of 0 and does not specify the number of expected awards, which is common for continuation announcements where funding levels and award counts are determined by prior-year agreements, recipient performance, available appropriations, and CDC program priorities rather than through an open competition with a fixed maximum award amount.
Overall, this announcement should be understood as an administrative and funding continuation for established CDC-supported VMMC programming rather than a general, open grant competition. Its central objective is to sustain and further scale voluntary male circumcision services as part of a comprehensive HIV prevention approach, building on existing infrastructure, partnerships, and implementation experience already developed under the original CDC-RFA-GH13-1328 award.Apply for CDC RFA GH13 132804CONT16
