The grant opportunity titled "Implementing Evidence Based Prevention Interventions to Prevent New HIV Infections in the United Republic of Tanzania Under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)" is a U.S. government-funded public health award administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It sits under a broader HIV prevention effort supported by PEPFAR, with the specific intent of reducing new HIV infections in Tanzania by using interventions that have a demonstrated evidence base. The listing is identified as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which generally means the CDC expects to have substantial programmatic involvement during implementation, such as participating in planning, monitoring performance, and providing technical guidance rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back.

This particular action is focused on sustaining and expanding gender-based services at the community level in Tanzania's Mara Region. In practical terms, "gender-based services" in the HIV prevention context typically refers to programming that addresses gender-related drivers of HIV risk and vulnerability, often including prevention and response activities related to gender-based violence (GBV), strengthening referral pathways to health and social services, community education and norms change work, and efforts to improve access to prevention, testing, and linkage services for those affected. The emphasis on community-level work signals that activities are meant to operate close to where people live, leveraging local structures and networks to reach populations who may not routinely access facility-based services.

The opportunity is issued under Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH12 1236SUPP16 and is associated with CFDA number 93.067, which corresponds to CDC's global health programs. The award has an expected ceiling of $540,000, and the CDC anticipates making a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1). The original closing date listed is December 9, 2015, and the record creation date is October 9, 2015, placing it in the context of an ongoing funding stream where this action appears to be a supplemental or continuation-type award tied to an existing initiative rather than an open, multi-recipient competition.

A key feature of this notice is that it includes a single-source justification naming the Christian Council of Tanzania (CCT). Single-source (or sole-source) language indicates the CDC intended to fund one specific organization rather than solicit proposals from multiple applicants. While the notice itself does not spell out the rationale beyond identifying the single-source approach, this type of justification is commonly used when an organization is already implementing the relevant work, has established community presence and partnerships, can maintain continuity of services without disruption, or holds unique capacity, geographic reach, or trust within target communities that would be difficult to replicate quickly through a new competition. In this case, the single anticipated award aligns with that approach, and the eligible applicants category is broadly stated as "Others," though the practical intent is clearly directed to CCT.

Overall, the grant can be summarized as a CDC-led, PEPFAR-supported cooperative agreement aimed at preventing new HIV infections in Tanzania by continuing and scaling community-based, gender-focused prevention and support services in Mara Region, funded up to $540,000 through a single award justified for implementation by the Christian Council of Tanzania.
