Program description
The Award Ceiling for Year 1 is 0 (none). CDC anticipates an Approximate Total Fiscal Year Funding amount of $6,000,000 for Year 1, subject to the availability of funds.
This NOFO supports India’s National AIDS Control Organization (NACO), Central Tuberculosis Division (CTD), and other departments in the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW). The goal is to enhance systems that accelerate and sustain epidemic control, in line with the National AIDS Control Program (NACP)-VI and the National TB Elimination Program (NTEP), while working to eradicate HIV and TB as public health threats.
The NOFO aims to transition essential services to local ownership and foster cooperation with interest holders at all levels. To accomplish this goal you should incorporate innovative and evidence-based strategies to:
• Prevent new infections.
• Facilitate early case detection.
• Ensure seamless linkage to care.
• Promote treatment adherence.
• Achieve viral suppression.
Key activities include:
• Closing gaps in HIV and TB testing and treatment.
• Delivering integrated services for HIV and co-morbidities.
• Strengthening program cooperation and ownership to enhance national efforts.
• Improving prevention, detection, and response to infectious diseases.
Advancing innovative HIV and TB service delivery under local leadership will create a sustainable framework for epidemic control that aligns with U.S. global health priorities, ultimately saving lives and bolstering global health security.

💡 Tips for applicants
- Emphasize alignment with India's national HIV/TB control programs (NACP-VI and NTEP). Reviewers prioritize applications directly supporting government priorities.
- Document partnership agreements with NACO, CTD, or MoHFW before applying. These relationships are essential for eligibility and competitiveness.
- Use evidence-based strategies for prevention, testing, and treatment. Include data showing effectiveness in similar Indian contexts.
- Include a clear sustainability and transition plan. Demonstrate how services will transfer to local ownership without external support.
- Address multiple intervention areas together. Applications spanning testing, treatment linkage, and prevention are more competitive than single-focus proposals.
⚠️ Common mistakes
Applications lack documented partnerships with Indian government health agencies. NACO and CTD collaboration is required, not optional.
Proposals focus on service delivery without sustainability planning or transition to local ownership. This grant requires explicit plans for independence from CDC funding.
Applicants submit generic HIV/TB strategies instead of India-specific approaches aligned with NACP-VI and NTEP frameworks.
