Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Development of a Laboratory Network and Society to Implement a Quality Systems Improvement Program Toward Accreditation and Laboratory Management under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continuation cooperative agreement linked to PEPFAR and the broader Global AIDS portfolio (CFDA 93.067). The opportunity is identified as CDC RFA GH12 120103CONT14 and sits within CDC's Center for Global Health (CGH), Division of Global HIV/AIDS (DGHA). In practical terms, it supports ongoing work to strengthen laboratory systems by improving quality management practices and helping laboratories move toward recognized accreditation standards, while also reinforcing laboratory management capacity and coordinated laboratory networks.
A key point about this notice is that it is not an open competition. It is a continuation award, meaning the funding is intended only for organizations that were already funded under the earlier award announcement GH12-1201 for the same program area. The eligible applicant pool is therefore restricted to prior grantees, and the listing explicitly notes that it is "intended only for grantees previously awarded under GH12 1201." There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically means CDC is not requiring the recipient to contribute a specified percentage of non-federal funds to carry out the project.
The program focus centers on laboratory quality systems improvement with the goal of moving laboratories toward accreditation and more effective, standardized laboratory management. Although the short summary provided does not spell out detailed activities, the title and program framing make the intent clear: building and sustaining a laboratory network and a community of practice (a "society") that can support consistent implementation of quality systems, promote shared standards and mentorship, and enable measurable improvements in laboratory performance. In the PEPFAR context, these efforts usually align with improving the reliability and timeliness of HIV-related testing and related public health laboratory functions, which can directly affect patient care and surveillance by ensuring test results are accurate, consistent, and produced under controlled quality conditions.
Administratively, the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. That distinction generally signals that CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the funded activities, such as providing technical direction, coordination support, or participation in planning and performance monitoring. The activity category is Health, and the opportunity category is listed as Continuation. The notice lists an expected number of awards as 50, reflecting that multiple existing recipients could receive continuation support under this mechanism, depending on the structure of the original program and ongoing performance needs.
The timeline information shows that the opportunity was posted on March 4, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 3, 2014, and an archive date of May 3, 2014. The creation date is listed as October 16, 2014, which can happen in archived systems where records are updated or migrated after the original posting. The estimated total funding is shown as 0 in the source data, which often indicates that the public-facing record did not include a consolidated total funding figure at the time of posting, or that the amount was managed through continuation actions rather than a newly announced total.
For applicants or recipients needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the contact provided is the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO) at 770-488-2700 or by email at pgotim@cdc.gov. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted continuation action under PEPFAR to maintain momentum in laboratory quality systems strengthening, accreditation readiness, and laboratory management improvements, limited to organizations already participating in the established CDC-funded program.
