Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Clinical and Public Health Curriculum Development, Training and Information Systems Support for the Haiti Health Care System under the Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," was a CDC cooperative agreement aimed at strengthening Haiti's health workforce and health system capacity in support of the national HIV response and broader public health goals. It sits under the larger PEPFAR framework, led by the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, where CDC collaborates with the host government and partners to identify country-specific gaps and then fund activities that align with the host nation's strategic plan and partnership framework. In practical terms, the opportunity was designed to support work that improves how health professionals in Haiti are trained, how clinical and public health curricula are developed and updated, and how health information systems are used to support effective service delivery and program monitoring.
The mechanism for funding was a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expected to have substantial involvement beyond simply issuing funds, such as providing technical direction, collaborating on implementation approaches, and ensuring alignment with PEPFAR and Haiti national priorities. The opportunity was categorized as discretionary funding within the health activity area, with an estimated total funding amount of $30,000,000. CDC anticipated making one award, with an award ceiling of $5,000,000 and no stated award floor, indicating flexibility in the final award size depending on the proposed scope and budget. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility.
The timeline shows this was a 2013 funding announcement: it was posted and created on January 25, 2013, with an application closing date of April 11, 2013, and an archive date of May 11, 2013. The program is associated with CFDA number 93.067, labeled "Global AIDS," which connects it directly to U.S. international HIV/AIDS assistance programming. While the short public description emphasizes CDC's country-tailored approach under PEPFAR, the title makes clear that the funded work was expected to focus on three interconnected areas: (1) clinical and public health curriculum development, meaning the creation or revision of training content and competency-based learning materials for health workers; (2) training, which implies implementation of capacity-building activities such as in-service training, mentorship, and potentially pre-service strengthening depending on the applicant's approach; and (3) information systems support, meaning strengthening the tools and processes used to capture, manage, and use health data to guide clinical care and public health decision-making.
Eligibility was broad and included both U.S. and non-U.S. entities. Eligible applicants ranged across nonprofit organizations (with or without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (including small, minority-, and women-owned businesses), universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and a wide set of government and tribal entities. State and local governments and their bona fide agents were eligible, including U.S. territories and certain freely associated states and territories listed in the announcement. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities were also explicitly eligible, which is especially relevant for work focused on Haiti and suggests CDC was open to proposals led by organizations with direct in-country presence and operational capability.
For prospective applicants at the time, key takeaways would have been the scale and singular nature of the award (one expected award), the cooperative agreement relationship with CDC, and the expectation that proposed activities would be designed in close alignment with Haiti's national plans for HIV and health systems strengthening under PEPFAR. The contact point provided for technical access issues was CDC's Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management, reachable by phone at (770) 488-2700 or by email at pgotim@cdc.gov, intended to support applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement materials.
