Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Building and Improving Laboratory Capacity and Quality in the Kingdom of Lesotho under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS09-923). This opportunity is designed to support Lesotho's national HIV response by strengthening the country's laboratory systems so they can reliably underpin HIV testing and counseling, expand care and treatment services, improve diagnosis, and support ongoing HIV disease monitoring at national scale. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the work alongside the recipient rather than serving only as a pass-through funder.
Funding for the announcement is approximately $2,105,000 in total, with an anticipated single award and an award ceiling equal to the total amount ($2,105,000). The funding falls under CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS), aligning it directly with PEPFAR priorities focused on improving HIV prevention, treatment, and systems capacity. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers barriers for applicants and indicates the program is intended to fully support the planned activities through federal funds.
The core goal is capacity and quality improvement across the laboratory program that supports HIV services in Lesotho. In practical terms, this type of initiative typically centers on strengthening the infrastructure and operations that enable accurate, timely, and high-quality laboratory testing and results reporting. That includes ensuring laboratories can support HIV testing algorithms, clinical monitoring (such as tests used to track treatment effectiveness and disease progression), and the diagnostic services needed to safely scale care and treatment nationwide. The emphasis on "quality" signals a focus not only on expanding testing volume, but also on improving standards, systems, and oversight so results are dependable across sites and over time, which is critical for patient management and public health decision-making.
Eligibility is broad and includes multiple categories of public and private entities. Eligible applicants include state, county, city or township, and special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); small businesses; and Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations. This broad eligibility suggests CDC was open to partnering with a range of organizations capable of delivering laboratory systems strengthening work in collaboration with the Government of the Kingdom of Lesotho.
Key dates show the announcement was posted and created on March 31, 2009, with an application closing date of May 29, 2009, and an archive date of June 28, 2009. The estimated funding date was stated as prior to September 30, 2009, indicating an intent to make an award within the U.S. federal fiscal year. For applicants or other parties needing help obtaining the full announcement, the listed contact was the CDC Technical Information Management Section (PGO-TIMS) at 770-488-2700 for assistance accessing the materials electronically.
Overall, the opportunity is a targeted PEPFAR-funded investment intended to help Lesotho build and improve the laboratory backbone required for a robust national HIV program, with enough scale and quality management to support expanded testing, treatment rollout, accurate diagnosis, and ongoing patient monitoring across the health system.
