Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Developing and Sustaining Laboratory Infrastructure in Haiti Under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," is a CDC-funded cooperative agreement aimed at strengthening Haiti's National Public Health Laboratory (NPHL) so it can more firmly serve as the country’s central hub for diagnostic testing, specimen referral, and laboratory workforce training. The core idea is to keep building the NPHL into a leading national institution within Haiti’s health system, with particular relevance to HIV and other public health priorities supported through PEPFAR. Rather than focusing on a short-term project, the opportunity is framed around sustaining and expanding national laboratory capacity and positioning the NPHL to guide and support laboratory services across the country.
The program is offered under Funding Opportunity Number CDC-RFA-PS10-1012 and falls under the health category, using a cooperative agreement mechanism. A cooperative agreement typically means the CDC expects to remain substantially involved in the work, providing technical direction, collaboration, and oversight rather than simply issuing funds with minimal engagement. The estimated total funding listed for the opportunity is $22,275,000, with an award ceiling of $4,445,000, and the CDC anticipated making one award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA number associated with this opportunity is 93.067 (Global AIDS), aligning it directly with PEPFAR-supported efforts.
Eligibility is tightly tied to Haiti’s national laboratory authority. The opportunity highlights the NPHL as a component of the MSPP (Haiti’s Ministry of Public Health and Population) and describes it as the government entity responsible for safeguarding public health from a laboratory standpoint. The NPHL is presented not only as a testing institution, but as a national governance and coordination body for laboratory services, with responsibilities that include laboratory strategic planning for the health sector, development of policies and norms, and creation and enforcement of regulations. In practical terms, the NPHL is described as having statutory authority over laboratory accreditation, testing standards, and quality assurance and quality control across the country, which signals that CDC’s investment is meant to reinforce a national system rather than isolated facilities.
A major emphasis of the opportunity is the NPHL’s nationwide reach and network role. The announcement notes that the NPHL is the only laboratory organization with a presence in all 10 geographic departments of Haiti, and that it manages both a national reference laboratory and a network of regional reference laboratories. Those reference laboratories are positioned as centers of excellence that can train personnel and receive referred specimens from peripheral testing sites. The peripheral sites are described as being operated by provider networks supported through PEPFAR, which indicates the grant is meant to strengthen the backbone laboratory infrastructure that HIV programs depend on, including reliable referral pathways, standardized practices, and consistent quality systems.
The opportunity also points to health information and systems integration through laboratory data, specifically mentioning the NPHL’s role in supporting the development and implementation of a Laboratory Information System across the country. That detail signals a focus on modernizing and standardizing how test results and laboratory operations data flow through the health system, which is critical for timely clinical care, surveillance, quality monitoring, and program management. In many settings, a functional laboratory information system helps reduce errors, improves turnaround times, supports better patient follow-up, and enables national-level visibility into testing volumes, positivity rates, and supply needs.
Key administrative details include the posting date of December 28, 2009, an original closing date of March 1, 2010, and a current closing date of June 15, 2010. The record also references the broader context that CDC program funding opportunity announcements for Haiti experienced a suspension period, and that active FOAs tied to those suspensions were removed effective February 18, 2010; this helps explain why dates and status notes appear in the listing. The archive date is July 15, 2010, indicating the opportunity is no longer active.
For applicants or stakeholders needing access help, the listed contact is the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), with a phone number provided. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a large-scale, system-building investment intended to strengthen Haiti’s national laboratory leadership, expand and professionalize referral and training functions, reinforce regulatory and quality frameworks, and support the laboratory network that underpins HIV/AIDS services and broader public health response.
