Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH18 1834
This funding opportunity, titled "Clinical and Public Health Curriculum Development, Training, and Information Systems Support for the Haitian Health Care System under PEPFAR," is a CDC cooperative agreement focused on strengthening Haiti's HIV response in close partnership with the Haitian Ministry of Public Health and Population (MSPP). The core purpose is to build on existing PEPFAR-supported progress in expanding access to high-quality HIV clinical services, preventing mother-to-child transmission of HIV, and improving laboratory and strategic information capacity across the country. It specifically reflects CDC Haiti's ongoing role in supporting national systems rather than running parallel programs, with an emphasis on technical assistance that helps MSPP deliver sustainable improvements in patient care and program performance.
A major backdrop for the opportunity is Haiti's implementation of the World Health Organization "Test and Start" strategy in 2016, which made antiretroviral treatment available to anyone who tests HIV positive. Under this approach, CDC-supported programming helped reach roughly 80,000 people, representing more than half of all people living with HIV in Haiti at the time. The opportunity also highlights program innovations that improved outcomes and accountability, including biometric coding to support unique patient identification and tools to improve patient linkage and retention in care. These kinds of interventions are meant to reduce loss to follow-up, improve continuity of treatment, and strengthen the reliability of monitoring and reporting across facilities and regions.
The NOFO lays out three main areas of work. First is service delivery strengthening through technical assistance within the MSPP health network, with a strong focus on clinical mentoring to improve the quality and consistency of HIV/AIDS-related services. This implies hands-on support to clinicians and facilities, reinforcing best practices in HIV diagnosis, treatment initiation, retention, viral load monitoring, and prevention of mother-to-child transmission, while helping standardize care across different sites.
Second is health workforce development, covering both pre-service and in-service training. On the pre-service side, the intent is to influence the education pipeline by supporting curriculum development and training systems that prepare new health workers to deliver HIV-related services competently. On the in-service side, it emphasizes continuing professional development for staff already working in the health system, ensuring that providers, nurses, lab personnel, and other cadres stay current as guidance and tools evolve. A key part of this component is supporting MSPP in maintaining and updating national clinical guidelines so that training, mentoring, and facility practice align with national standards and the latest evidence.
Third is health information systems support, centered on enhancing the iSante Plus platform, Haiti's major electronic health information system for patient-level and program-level HIV data. The opportunity describes iSante Plus capabilities that include patient care summaries, population-level dashboards, automated program reports, epidemiologic monitoring functions, and indicator reporting, with connectivity to computerized laboratory results. Strengthening this system is meant to improve data quality, timeliness, and usefulness for decision-making, allowing managers and clinicians to track outcomes like treatment coverage, retention, and viral suppression, while improving reporting to meet PEPFAR monitoring requirements and supporting public health surveillance.
Administratively, the opportunity is a discretionary CDC award using a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning CDC would be substantially involved in guiding or collaborating on the work rather than simply providing funds with minimal engagement. It is listed under CFDA 93.067, with an award ceiling of $2,425,500 and an expectation of a single award. Eligibility is described as unrestricted. The original funding opportunity number is CDC RFA GH18 1834, with a creation date of August 24, 2017, and an original closing date of October 30, 2019. The notice also makes clear that it is provided for informational purposes only and that no new applications are being accepted now, indicating the competition is closed and the summary is primarily meant to document the scope and intent of the initiative.Apply for CDC RFA GH18 1834
