Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS/CDC) under PEPFAR (the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief) and the leadership of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, focuses on strengthening the capacity of partners to support high-quality, evidence-based HIV prevention, care, and treatment services connected to the Kenya Prisons Service. The core intent is to improve and sustain HIV programming for three closely linked groups: Kenya Prisons Service staff, their family members, and incarcerated individuals in Kenya. A major theme of the announcement is program transition, meaning the work is meant not only to deliver services and strengthen systems, but also to prepare those services and systems to be maintained over time with increasing local ownership and integration into the host country's broader health strategies and planning frameworks.
The mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally implies substantial involvement by CDC in guiding or collaborating on technical approaches, monitoring, and implementation compared with a standard grant. The activity category is health, and the CFDA number listed is 93.067 (Global AIDS). The opportunity was posted January 25, 2013, created March 18, 2013, and had an original closing date of April 12, 2013 that was later extended to April 16, 2013, with an archive date of May 12, 2013. The estimated total funding amount is $20,000,000, with an anticipated single award (ExpectedAwards: 1). The award ceiling is listed as $2,500,000 and the award floor is $0, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the financial barrier for applicants and allows proposals to be judged more on technical merit, feasibility, and alignment with program priorities than on an applicant's ability to contribute matching funds.
Programmatically, the emphasis on "capacity strengthening" and "high quality and evidence based" services suggests a focus on improving systems, skills, and service delivery models so that prevention, testing, linkage to care, treatment initiation, adherence support, retention, and clinical monitoring can be delivered consistently in a prison-context environment and among prison staff and families. In practice, this type of scope often includes strengthening clinical and program management capacity, improving service quality assurance, supporting strategic information systems (data collection, reporting, and use of data for improvement), training and mentorship for providers, and building coordination between correctional health services and national or county health structures. The mention of program transition indicates that applicants would be expected to plan for sustainability and handover, such as embedding practices within Kenya's systems, strengthening local leadership and governance, and aligning implementation with Kenya's strategic plans and partnership frameworks rather than operating as a stand-alone project.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of domestic and non-domestic entities. Eligible applicants include nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), small/minority/women-owned businesses, universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and multiple categories of tribal organizations and tribal governments. It also includes state and local governments or their bona fide agents (including U.S. territories and specified affiliated jurisdictions), political subdivisions of states (with consultation), non-U.S. entities, and other organizations as described in the eligibility text. This breadth signals that CDC was open to a variety of implementers, including organizations with deep experience in HIV service delivery, health systems strengthening, correctional health, or large-scale program management in complex settings.
