This NOFO will sustain and continue progress made through the previous CDC SI Cooperative Agreement. The purpose of this NOFO is to promote evidence-based decision making for an AIDS-Free generation by monitoring data quality at the site-level and collecting, analyzing and disseminating data at all levels.

The purpose of this program build and strengthen in-country capacity for sustainable laboratory networks in PEPFAR-supported countries. The program will focus on: 1) workforce develop through enhanced in-service laboratory training and certification programs; 2) continuous quality improvement by strengthening the laboratory standards, policies and systems,; and; 3) increasing laboratory capacity to perform quality laboratory testing for Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other opportunistic infections.

The CDC seeks qualified applications for a 5-year cooperative agreement to fund HIV prevention, care and treatment, lab support and strategic information and surveillance activities in Burma under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). This NOFO will focus on technical assistance to key partners in country to build capacity for the implementation and monitoring of Test and Start, differentiated ART service delivery models, linkages to care, viral load scale up and quality control systems.

This NOFO is for technical assistance to the national HIV programs supported by the CDC Central Asia Regional office under PEPFAR. The technical assistance provider will pilot and evaluate new models of service delivery for 1) accelerating antiretroviral treatment (ART) scale up, adherence, and retention 2) HIV case finding and 3) harm reduction among Key Populations (KP) and PLHIV. Successful models of service delivery and electronic monitoring of patient care will be handed over, scaled up, and sustained by host country government by the end of the five year cooperative agreement.
