Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (CDC RFA PS10-1037) is a CDC cooperative agreement issued under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) focused on strengthening HIV/AIDS-related laboratory services in the Republic of Cote d'Ivoire, with a particular emphasis on diagnosing and tracking opportunistic infections like tuberculosis (TB). The central purpose is to build lasting capacity across the national laboratory network so that patients and clinicians can rely on accurate, timely, and widely available testing, and so that public health authorities can use better laboratory data to monitor disease trends and respond effectively.
The award is designed around the Pasteur Institute of Cote d'Ivoire (IPCI) serving as the key implementing partner and capacity-building hub. IPCI is described as uniquely qualified because it was designated in 2006 by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Scientific Research as the institution responsible for Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (IDSR) in Cote d'Ivoire. Under that mandate, IPCI already has a national role in implementing, monitoring, and evaluating population-based surveillance for TB, malaria, epidemic-prone diseases, and HIV-related opportunistic infections, as well as supporting prevention and care policies. This grant leverages that existing responsibility and expands IPCI's ability to carry out high-quality laboratory diagnosis and surveillance at scale.
Operationally, the project emphasizes coordination and system-building rather than isolated improvements at a single site. IPCI is expected to collaborate closely with multiple Ministry of Health sub-departments and central laboratories, the CDC Retro CI laboratory, the National Public Health Laboratory (LNSP), the TB laboratory network, and at least 19 regional hospitals. The intent is to improve how laboratory activities are coordinated and implemented nationwide, including standardizing practices, improving the flow and quality of laboratory data, and strengthening connections between reference-level laboratories and regional facilities that serve patients directly.
The expected impact is broad and practical. On the service delivery side, the award aims to directly increase the quality and availability of laboratory testing throughout the country for HIV/AIDS-related opportunistic infections, especially TB, which remains a major driver of illness and death among people living with HIV. On the surveillance side, it is meant to strengthen the ability to track opportunistic infections through improved laboratory-based surveillance systems, producing better data that can inform program decisions, outbreak detection, and resource allocation. The opportunity also highlights infrastructure and workforce development, meaning upgrades to lab systems and equipment where needed, and strengthening human resource capacity through training, mentoring, and improved laboratory management practices.
A separate but related objective is to reinforce IPCI's standing as a reference laboratory capable of participating in national and international public health evaluations. In practice, this usually implies improving quality systems, adopting recognized standards, strengthening proficiency testing and external quality assessment participation, and ensuring IPCI can credibly support evaluations that compare performance across sites or validate diagnostic approaches.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant using a cooperative agreement mechanism, signaling that CDC expects substantial involvement in the implementation through technical collaboration rather than simply providing funds and receiving reports. The opportunity was posted December 29, 2009, with an application closing date of March 2, 2010, and it was archived April 1, 2010. The listing notes an estimated total funding amount of $85,000,000, while indicating an award floor of $500,000 and an award ceiling of $1,000,000, with one expected award. Cost sharing or matching is not required. Eligibility is effectively restricted to IPCI, with the announcement stating IPCI is uniquely qualified to meet the requirements described.
