The United States Department of Health and Human Services is accepting grant applications to improve understanding of how investment and program design can make programs and services for HIV, TB, and related health issues in South Africa (SA) more efficient.
The focus of this NOFO is to conduct economic analysis, evaluation, and modeling to inform program planning and resource allocation to maintain and improve the HIV related response in South Africa.
