Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH20 2070
This funding opportunity is a CDC cooperative agreement under PEPFAR focused on strengthening Vietnam's capacity to prevent, detect, monitor, and respond to HIV/AIDS, specifically by partnering with the Ho Chi Minh City Pasteur Institute (PI). PI serves as the key regional public health institution for Vietnam's southern provinces and is tasked with providing technical assistance to government health facilities on core public health systems that support surveillance, preparedness, and response across HIV and other infectious diseases. The intent of the award is to continue supporting PI in that role, with an emphasis on improving the national HIV information and laboratory systems so that decisions can be made faster and with better evidence.
The planned Year 1 funding amount is approximately USD 400,000, contingent on available funds, and CDC expects to make one award. The notice lists an "award ceiling" of 0 for Year 1, which typically signals that a formal maximum was not set in the notice even though an estimated funding level is provided. The mechanism is a cooperative agreement, meaning CDC anticipates substantial involvement beyond standard grant oversight, often through joint planning, technical collaboration, and continuous performance monitoring. The opportunity was posted January 9, 2020, with an original application deadline of March 9, 2020, and applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The CFDA number associated with the award is 93.067, and eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional clarification expected in the full eligibility section of the announcement.
On the surveillance and data side, a central objective is to help Vietnam transition from an HIV case reporting system (HCRS) toward a more robust case-based surveillance system. In practice, that shift is meant to move beyond aggregate reporting and toward systems that can track cases in a way that supports higher-quality analyses over time, improves visibility into transmission patterns, and strengthens follow-up and program accountability. The announcement also highlights improving data triangulation, analysis, and interpretation for the national HIV response. Data triangulation generally refers to combining and comparing multiple data sources (for example, case surveillance, laboratory data, sentinel surveillance findings, and program service data) to produce a clearer, more reliable picture of the epidemic and the performance of prevention and treatment services.
The opportunity also prioritizes strengthening and improving the quality of Vietnam's National Sentinel Surveillance, referenced as HSS/HSS. Sentinel surveillance is typically used to monitor trends in HIV prevalence and related risk indicators in selected populations or sites over time, and improving its quality can make national estimates and trend assessments more dependable. Alongside these improvements, the project aims to ensure that the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is operating at maximal capacity by the end of the project period. In the context of HIV and broader public health threats, an EOC at full capacity supports timely situational awareness, coordination, and decision-making, which is especially important when rapid shifts in outbreaks, service disruptions, or new prevention and testing strategies require fast operational responses.
On the laboratory side, the award supports continued nationwide rollout of HIV recency testing and the strengthening of laboratory quality management systems (QMS) through PI-led technical assistance and training. HIV recency testing is used to help distinguish more recent infections from long-standing ones at the population level, which can improve understanding of where and among whom transmission is occurring and can help target prevention efforts more effectively. A stated goal is to integrate recency testing into the routine HIV testing algorithm, meaning it would become a standard component of testing workflows rather than a special study activity, while also ensuring that laboratories performing recency testing do so accurately and consistently.
Quality management systems are another major pillar of the opportunity. The notice emphasizes maintaining QMS at site-level laboratories in a sustainable way, with the practical aim of ensuring high-quality testing and prompt HIV diagnosis. Strengthened QMS typically includes standard operating procedures, staff competency assessment, internal quality control, external quality assessment or proficiency testing, corrective and preventive actions, equipment maintenance, and data management practices. By improving laboratory performance and reliability, the project supports earlier diagnosis, better linkage to treatment, and more effective prevention services, all of which align with Vietnam's broader goal of achieving HIV epidemic control and contributing to an end to AIDS by 2030.Apply for CDC RFA GH20 2070
