Opportunity Summary:

This funding opportunity (CDC RFA GH12-1210) is a PEPFAR-supported cooperative agreement run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS/CDC), focused on Nigeria. The core aim is to engage and strengthen indigenous Nigerian organizations so they can sustain and enhance comprehensive clinical HIV services, spanning prevention, care, and treatment. In practical terms, the opportunity is designed to keep HIV programs operating at scale while improving service quality and long-term durability by placing local Nigerian entities in stronger leadership and implementation roles. The announcement frames the work within PEPFAR's overall model: under the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, CDC collaborates with the host country and other partners to assess needs and tailor assistance that fits Nigeria's national strategies and partnership framework.

The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the funder (CDC) expects substantial involvement during implementation rather than acting only as a pass-through funder. While the specific program activities are not listed in the summary text provided, the title and context make clear the emphasis is on comprehensive clinical service delivery for HIV/AIDS, which generally includes strengthening systems that support HIV testing and linkage to care, antiretroviral treatment services, clinical monitoring, retention and adherence support, and related prevention interventions delivered through clinical platforms. The overall thrust is sustainability and enhancement, signaling both continuity of existing services and measurable improvements in performance, coverage, and program management capacity among Nigerian partners.

The opportunity was posted on March 23, 2012, with an original and final closing date of May 16, 2012, and it was later archived on June 15, 2012. CDC anticipated making around 10 awards. The estimated total funding amount listed is $880,000,000, with an award ceiling (maximum per award) of $160,000,000 and an award floor of $0, indicating flexibility in award size depending on scope, geography, and proposed approach. The CFDA number associated with the program is 93.067 (Global AIDS). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide a financial match as a condition of eligibility.

Eligibility is targeted to local, indigenous Nigerian entities, reinforcing the goal of local ownership and capacity. The eligible applicant types include local non-governmental organizations, faith-based organizations, community-based organizations, non-profits, and for-profit entities, provided they are Nigerian and meet the "local, indigenous" standard referenced. The notice also allows applications from a "bona fide agent" acting on behalf of a state or local government, but this requires documentation: a letter from the relevant state or local government confirming the organization is authorized to apply in lieu of the government entity. That documentation would need to be attached in the application submission package through Grants.gov.

From an administrative standpoint, CDC is the sponsoring agency, and the opportunity category is discretionary, with the activity category listed as health. For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the contact point provided is CDC's Procurement and Grant Office (PGO) via email at pgotim@cdc.gov and phone at 770-488-2700. Overall, the grant is best understood as a large-scale PEPFAR Nigeria clinical services funding opportunity structured to shift and strengthen implementation responsibility among Nigerian organizations, aligning HIV prevention, care, and treatment services with Nigeria's strategic plan while maintaining close technical and programmatic engagement from CDC through the cooperative agreement model.
