Opportunity Summary:

The Caribbean Regional Epidemiology and Laboratory Training Program (RELTP) under the President's Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement opportunity focused on strengthening public health capacity in the Caribbean, with an emphasis on HIV/AIDS-related epidemiology and laboratory training. It sits within CDC's health funding activity category and is administered through the Center for Global Health (CGH), Division of HIV/AIDS (DGHA). The program title signals that the work is meant to build and sustain a skilled workforce and stronger systems for surveillance, outbreak detection, data use, and laboratory practice that support HIV/AIDS control and broader public health priorities aligned with PEPFAR goals.

This specific listing (Funding Opportunity Number CDC-RFA-GH12-120603CONT14) is not an open competition. It is a continuation funding announcement, meaning it is intended only for organizations that were already funded under the earlier award tied to GH12-1206 for the same RELTP effort. In practical terms, eligibility is restricted to existing grantees from that original RELTP award, and new applicants who were not previously funded under that mechanism would not be considered eligible for this continuation round. The opportunity explicitly notes there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which indicates awardees are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the continuation funding.

The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically implies a more substantial level of involvement from CDC compared with a standard grant. Under cooperative agreements, recipients generally carry out the day-to-day program activities, while CDC may provide technical assistance, collaboration, and oversight on program design, implementation quality, monitoring, and evaluation. This approach fits capacity-building and training programs like RELTP, where standardized methods, mentorship, and performance monitoring are often central to achieving consistent regional outcomes.

The opportunity was posted and created on March 4, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 18, 2014. It was archived on May 18, 2014, reflecting that it is no longer active. The announcement indicates an expectation of 10 awards. It is associated with CFDA number 93.067, labeled "Global AIDS," which connects it to federal funding streams supporting global HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, and health systems strengthening initiatives consistent with PEPFAR.

Notably, the estimated total funding amount is listed as 0, which often happens in continuation notices or listings where the system record does not display a specific total, where amounts may be determined by available appropriations, prior-year budgets, or incremental funding decisions. In such cases, the absence of a posted total does not necessarily mean no funds were provided; it more commonly means the public synopsis did not specify the aggregate amount in that field.

For applicant support and access issues, CDC directs prospective recipients to the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO). The contact details provided are a phone number (770-488-2700) and an email (pgotim@cdc.gov) for assistance in accessing the full announcement electronically or resolving related administrative questions.
