Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (CDC RFA PS11-1111) is a CDC discretionary cooperative agreement designed to support tuberculosis control and elimination work both globally and domestically, including TB/HIV, across all populations and settings. The award is structured around a single recipient and a single award, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Division of Tuberculosis Elimination (DTBE), using the cooperative agreement mechanism to maintain close, ongoing involvement in how the work is planned and carried out. The overall aim is not just to fund clinical or field activities directly, but to put in place the administrative, legal, and financial backbone needed to launch and manage a broad mix of TB-related programmatic activities in up to 35 countries, covering the full range of TB control efforts.
The sole eligible applicant and intended recipient is the U.S. Civilian Research and Development Foundation (CRDF). In practical terms, this means the CDC is not opening a competition to multiple organizations; the grant is specifically to fund CRDF to act as a fiduciary and administrative agent on CDCs behalf. The core problem being addressed is that implementing TB programs across many countries often requires a substantial amount of non-medical work such as securing government permissions, setting up compliant payment and reporting systems, and navigating local legal requirements. This award is meant to ensure those functions are handled reliably so CDC and technical partners can focus on designing and executing effective TB interventions.
CRDFs role under the cooperative agreement is essentially to make multi-country TB programming operational. First, CRDF is expected to liaise with foreign government ministries and agencies as well as nongovernmental organizations to obtain formal approvals, authorizations, and other clearances required to conduct the CDC-supported activities. Second, CRDF is responsible for establishing management systems and logistical procedures that allow projects to run smoothly, including the kinds of financial controls, documentation processes, and administrative workflows needed for international public health work. Third, CRDF will disburse funds in accordance with DTBEs requirements, sending money to foreign governmental bodies, foreign and local NGOs, and individuals where appropriate, as well as to U.S.-based domestic nongovernmental organizations or individual subrecipients. The subrecipients, working in collaboration with CDC, then implement the on-the-ground TB control activities.
The program emphasizes that activities will span all aspects of TB control. While the notice does not list every intervention type, the scope explicitly includes TB of all forms and TB/HIV, and it highlights prevention, control, and other programmatic actions involved in eliminating TB. The operational model described is that CDC, U.S. domestic partners, and international counterparts jointly develop protocols and work plans. Based on those agreed plans, CRDF then performs the administrative and legal coordination needed to activate the work in-country and establishes mechanisms to administer and distribute project funds according to the approved budget. This setup reflects a division of labor where CDC and technical partners drive program strategy and content, while CRDF ensures the necessary governance, compliance, and financial execution elements are in place across multiple jurisdictions.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $3,000,000, with an award ceiling and floor both set at $3,000,000, reinforcing that this is a single, fixed-size award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA number associated with the program is 93.947 (Tuberculosis Demonstration, Research, Public and Professional Education). The opportunity was posted and created on March 23, 2011, with an original and current closing date of April 25, 2011, and it was archived on May 25, 2011, indicating it is a historical opportunity rather than an active solicitation.
In summary, this cooperative agreement is best understood as an enabling grant that funds CRDF to serve as CDC/DTBEs fiduciary and administrative platform for TB programming across a large set of countries and partners. Its main deliverable is not a single TB project, but the capacity to initiate, manage, authorize, and financially support a diverse portfolio of TB control and elimination activities, including TB/HIV work, by efficiently channeling CDC-directed resources to the implementing organizations and ensuring the required approvals, systems, and procedures are in place.
