Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (CDC RFA GH11-1112) is a PEPFAR-supported cooperative agreement from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention focused on keeping HIV/AIDS services in Nigeria running smoothly while also expanding their reach. The central aim is to transition and strengthen comprehensive HIV programming by engaging indigenous (Nigeria-based) organizations so they can sustain and enhance services that were previously initiated under the PEPFAR-funded HHS/CDC HIV clinical services and antiretroviral treatment program. In practical terms, the program is designed to maintain continuity of care for large numbers of people already receiving services and to build local capacity to deliver those services at scale.
The work is intended to cover both facility-based and community-based HIV services across 26 Nigerian states plus the Federal Capital Territory. The states named in the announcement are Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Bauchi, Benue, Cross River, Delta, Ebonyi, Edo, Ekiti, Gombe, Imo, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kogi, Kwara, Lagos, Nassarawa, Niger, Ogun, Ondo, Osun, Plateau, Sokoto, and the Federal Capital Territory. Services are expected to be delivered predominantly, though not exclusively, through public health facilities, which signals an emphasis on working within government health systems while still allowing implementation through other appropriate service delivery points when needed.
The scope of services is explicitly comprehensive and includes prevention, care and support, and treatment. The announcement highlights the scale of ongoing support that the award is meant to continue: antiretroviral therapy (ART) for more than 70,000 patients, care and support services for more than 200,000 patients, and prevention services for more than 45,000 individuals. That framing makes it clear the grant is not starting from scratch; it is meant to preserve and build on an existing PEPFAR platform, avoiding interruptions in ART and related services while expanding coverage and strengthening program delivery through local partners.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant using a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning CDC would typically expect substantial involvement in programmatic guidance, oversight, and collaboration compared with a standard grant. The opportunity falls under the health activity category and is listed under CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS). The estimated total funding is $55,000,000, with an award ceiling also listed as $55,000,000 and an award floor of $500,000. CDC anticipated making about 10 awards. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the financial burden on applicants and can make participation more feasible for local entities.
Eligibility is restricted to Nigerian governmental and non-governmental organizations that meet PEPFAR local partner requirements as described in the full announcement. Eligible applicants include Nigerian NGOs as well as federal, state, and local government entities. The opportunity also allows applications from bona fide agents applying on behalf of a government entity, as long as the applicant provides a letter from the relevant government body documenting that status (to be attached in the application package). This eligibility structure reinforces the opportunitys stated intent: shifting leadership and implementation responsibility to indigenous Nigerian organizations and government-aligned structures.
Key timeline details indicate this was a time-limited solicitation posted March 16, 2011, created May 9, 2011, and closed May 16, 2011, with the archive date listed as June 15, 2011.
