The Institute has a long history of working closely and collaboratively with HHS/CDC and PEPFAR Vietnam through the existing HHS/CDC Cooperative Agreement with the Ho Chi Minh City Provincial AIDS Committee (HCMC PAC). The Pasteur Institute was founded in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Vietnam in 1891 with Dr. Albert Calmette as its director. It was the first Pasteur facility to be established outside of France. In 1975, it became a part of the Vietnam national health system and its name was changed to the Institute of Epidemiology to reflect its new role as a Government of Vietnam institute in managing hygiene and disease epidemics in the southern region of the country. In 1991, with growth of the international collaboration, its name was changed again to Pasteur Institute of Ho Chi Minh City.

Opportunity Summary:
Developing Advanced Laboratory Systems in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) is a CDC funding opportunity designed to strengthen Vietnam's national capacity to respond to HIV/AIDS by improving laboratory systems. The central goal is to build a more sustainable, government-led laboratory infrastructure that can reliably support core public health functions tied to HIV control, including surveillance, diagnosis, treatment support, disease monitoring, and HIV screening related to blood safety. The announcement emphasizes that laboratory strengthening remains a continuing priority under PEPFAR and notes that, in Vietnam, much of this type of support is channeled through government institutions, particularly the Pasteur Institute.
This opportunity was issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning the award would involve substantial federal involvement and collaboration rather than functioning as a hands-off grant. The funding activity area is health, and it is listed under CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS). The program anticipated making one award, indicating a focused investment rather than a broad multi-award competition. The estimated total funding for the project period was $325,000, with an award ceiling of $325,000 and an award floor of $200,000, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, lowering barriers to participation for the eligible institution.
Eligibility for this announcement was narrow and targeted. The Pasteur Institute (PI) in Ho Chi Minh City is explicitly identified as the eligible applicant. The FOA describes PI as a governmental agency under the Vietnam Ministry of Health with a long-standing collaborative relationship with HHS/CDC and PEPFAR Vietnam, including work connected to an existing CDC cooperative agreement with the Ho Chi Minh City Provincial AIDS Committee. The historical background provided underscores PI's institutional capacity and established public health role: founded in 1891 with Dr. Albert Calmette as its director, it was the first Pasteur facility outside France, later integrated into Vietnam's national health system in 1975, and ultimately renamed the Pasteur Institute of Ho Chi Minh City in 1991 as international collaboration expanded. This context signals why CDC positioned PI as the principal platform for advancing laboratory system strengthening in southern Vietnam and potentially as a national resource.
The timeline for the opportunity reflects a 2009 funding cycle. It was posted and created on March 31, 2009, with an original and current application closing date of May 29, 2009, and an archive date of June 28, 2009. The presence of a single expected award, the cooperative agreement mechanism, and the specific eligibility language together suggest the initiative was structured to deepen an ongoing CDC-PEPFAR partnership with Vietnam's public health laboratory leadership, with the practical intent of improving the reliability and reach of HIV-related laboratory services that underpin prevention, treatment, and blood safety programs.
For assistance with accessing the full announcement at the time, CDC directed applicants to the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management team (phone: 770-488-2700), reflecting standard federal grant support channels for technical access issues.
