Broad Agency Announcement (Baa): The US Government has a long history and extensive network of international collaboration and partnerships in the fight against HIV/AIDS, providing funding, technical assistance, and program support. These collaborations improve our ability to better understand HIV transmission and provide an evaluative basis for prevention and intervention success. Militaries, in particular, have been identified as a high-risk population. To effectively focus on this population, the Naval Health Research Center (NHRC), San Diego, California, under the oversight of the Navy Surgeon General, has been tasked to serve as the US Department of Defense (DoD) Executive Agent for the DoD HIV/AIDS Prevention Program (DHAPP). DHAPP has successfully partnered with 83 countries to combat HIV/AIDS among their respective military services. DHAPP is a U. S. Government (USG) organization within the Dept of Defense, collaborating with the US State Department, Health and Human Services, US Agency for International Development, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). Working closely with other US Department of Defense elements, US Unified Combatant Commanders, Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS, university collaborators, and other nongovernmental organizations, DHAPP assists countries in establishing HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment programs and/or strengthening other capabilities to combat HIV. The new Partnership Framework within PEPFAR is a 5-year HIV/AIDS national strategy which will work in concert with and support the host country's national HIV/AIDS strategy. The Partnership Framework will delineate USG's and host country's roles and contributions to achieving stated goals and objectives. It is important for offerors receiving an award who work in countries with a Partnership Framework to connect with the military Partnership Framework point of contact. Offerors receiving an award should be aware of the military's PEPFAR activities and work in concert with these activities without duplicating efforts, creating parallel systems, or conflicting activities. DHAPP's goal is to maximize program impact by focusing on the drivers of the epidemic specific to the military, and to support the development of interventions and programs that address these issues. DHAPP works with countries' militaries to devise plans based on the following process: II.
