Opportunity Summary:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Capacity Building Assistance to Support Sustainable HIV/AIDS Integrated Laboratory Program Development under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS09-914). This announcement supports the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and is focused on strengthening and sustaining integrated laboratory programs that underpin HIV/AIDS prevention, diagnosis, treatment monitoring, and broader public health functions in supported countries and programs.

The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement with the recipient during the project period, such as collaboration on technical approaches, monitoring, and program implementation. The funding activity category is health, and the CFDA listing is 93.067 (Global AIDS). The opportunity set aside an estimated total of $15,000,000 and anticipated making approximately one award, with both the award ceiling and floor listed at $15,000,000. In practical terms, this signals an intent to fund a single, large-scale recipient to deliver capacity-building assistance at a broad scope rather than supporting multiple smaller projects.

The stated purpose of the program is to provide assistance for PEPFAR laboratory program development projects, with an emphasis on sustainable HIV/AIDS integrated laboratory program development. While the short public summary does not list specific required activities, the framing suggests support that could include building laboratory systems and services in a coordinated way across HIV-related testing needs (for example, diagnostics, quality management, workforce development, and system strengthening) and helping programs move toward long-term functionality and resilience. "Integrated laboratory program development" generally implies improving not only individual tests or facilities, but also the overall laboratory network and how it connects to clinical services and national health systems, including standardization and consistency across sites.

Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any type of entity (such as universities, nonprofits, for-profits, governments, and other organizations), subject to any additional eligibility language contained in the full announcement. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of award.

Key dates provided in the listing show the opportunity was posted and created on March 31, 2009. Applications were due May 28, 2009, by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The archive date is June 27, 2009, indicating the funding opportunity was subsequently closed and archived. The CDC estimated the funding decision or award timing would occur prior to September 30, 2009.

For applicants and interested parties at the time, the full program announcement and requirements were available through Grants.gov, and the listing provided a CDC contact for technical or access issues: PGO TIMS at 770-488-2700, with a general email contact referenced in the notice.
