Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH18 1847
The grant opportunity titled "Strengthen Brazil's Response to HIV and Other Infectious Diseases through Prevention, Treatment, Care, Laboratory, Strategic Information, and Epidemiology and Surveillance Activities under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)" is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement designed to deepen collaboration with the Government of Brazil on priority public health actions. The central emphasis is on reducing new HIV infections among men who have sex with men (MSM), a population highlighted because of persistent transmission risks and documented gaps across Brazil's HIV service continuum, often referred to as the HIV "cascade" (from testing and diagnosis through treatment and viral suppression). While the focus is HIV, the opportunity also frames the work within a broader effort to reduce the overall burden of infectious diseases by strengthening prevention, care systems, laboratory capacity, data systems, and public health surveillance.
The program is built around several practical interventions meant to close key gaps in HIV outcomes. First, it supports expanding HIV and sexually transmitted infection (STI) diagnosis among MSM, which points to scaling up accessible, frequent, and targeted testing approaches so infections are detected earlier and more consistently. Second, it prioritizes stronger linkage to care and treatment for MSM who receive reactive (reagent) HIV tests and those who test positive for other STIs, reflecting the idea that testing alone is not enough unless people are rapidly connected to confirmatory diagnosis, clinical care, antiretroviral therapy, and appropriate STI management. Third, the opportunity includes support for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for eligible MSM, indicating an intention to increase uptake and appropriate use of biomedical prevention for people at substantial risk of acquiring HIV. Alongside these core pillars, the NOFO explicitly encourages introducing new and innovative technologies for HIV prevention, treatment, and care, which can include newer service delivery models, improved diagnostics, digital tools for adherence and retention, or other innovations that make prevention and care more reachable and effective.
A major strategic goal is alignment with Brazil's national approach to achieving the UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets: 90 percent of people living with HIV knowing their status, 90 percent of those diagnosed receiving sustained treatment, and 90 percent of those on treatment achieving viral suppression. By concentrating on MSM and strengthening testing, linkage, treatment, and PrEP, the project aims to move the needle on each step of that cascade while also building durable public health infrastructure. The inclusion of laboratory, strategic information, and epidemiology and surveillance activities signals that this is not only a service expansion effort, but also a systems-strengthening effort. In practical terms, that typically means improving the quality and timeliness of lab testing and results, strengthening data collection and analysis to guide programming, and enhancing surveillance to understand where transmission is occurring, measure program performance, and respond to outbreaks or changing trends.
Administratively, this was a discretionary funding opportunity issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the CDC Center for Global Health. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means CDC expects substantial involvement in technical collaboration, oversight, and joint planning during implementation rather than acting only as a passive funder. The opportunity is identified as CDC RFA GH18-1847, listed under CFDA 93.067, with an award ceiling of $6,000,000 and an expectation of one award. The notice was created on October 11, 2017, with an original application closing date of December 11, 2017, and electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline. Eligibility is described broadly as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full eligibility text, suggesting that applicants needed to consult the detailed notice for specific organizational requirements and any limitations.
Overall, the grant is aimed at accelerating HIV prevention and improving health outcomes among MSM in Brazil by expanding diagnosis, ensuring rapid connection to treatment and care, increasing PrEP coverage for those who can benefit, and reinforcing the public health backbone (laboratories, data systems, and surveillance) needed to sustain progress and reduce infectious disease burden over time.Apply for CDC RFA GH18 1847
