Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, funded through the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), is focused on keeping HIV services running and scaling them up across six Nigerian states: Kaduna, Cross River, Benue, Gombe, Kogi, and Akwa Ibom. The central aim is to strengthen comprehensive HIV programming that is already underway, combining both community-based and facility-based approaches. While the work is expected to happen largely in public health facilities, the announcement makes clear that implementation is not limited exclusively to the public sector, which leaves room for partnerships that reach people outside government clinics as well.
The services supported under this award span the full continuum of HIV response, including prevention activities, HIV counseling and testing, treatment, and ongoing care and support. A key emphasis is continuity and expansion of existing PEPFAR-supported clinical and antiretroviral treatment programs, meaning the funding is intended to protect gains already made while increasing coverage and access. The scale described in the announcement is substantial: continued support would include antiretroviral therapy (ART) for more than 33,000 patients, care and support services for more than 250,000 patients, and HIV counseling and testing services for more than 60,000 individuals. In practical terms, this suggests a strong focus on maintaining treatment for people already enrolled, strengthening clinical service delivery, and expanding testing and linkage activities that feed into treatment and long-term support.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally means CDC expects to have an active role in the project beyond simply providing funds. Cooperative agreements often involve substantial programmatic involvement such as technical assistance, joint planning, reporting requirements, and alignment with PEPFAR strategies and targets. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding within the health area, and it falls under CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS), which is the standard federal assistance listing used for U.S. global HIV/AIDS investments.
Financially, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $125,000,000, with an expectation of up to six awards. The posting date was February 9, 2011, and the application closing date was April 11, 2011, with the opportunity archived May 11, 2011. The award floor and ceiling are listed as zero, which typically reflects that specific award sizes may vary or are determined through the review process rather than set minimums or maximums in the summary table.
Eligibility is tightly aligned with PEPFAR's emphasis on local ownership and indigenous organizational capacity. Applicants must be Nigerian governmental or nongovernmental organizations that meet PEPFAR's definition of a local partner. The definition provided requires that at least 66 percent of the organization is owned, managed, and operated by Nigerian citizens or legal permanent residents, and that the principal place of business is in Nigeria. Eligible applicants include federal, state, and local government entities, Nigerian nongovernmental organizations, and "bona fide agents" of government entities. If applying as a bona fide agent, the applicant must provide documentation (a formal letter) from the relevant government body confirming that status.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a major PEPFAR implementation award designed to hand greater responsibility to Nigerian indigenous organizations while sustaining and broadening a high-volume package of HIV services. It targets both clinical delivery and community reach, with measurable service outputs already specified, and it is structured to keep large treatment and support caseloads stable while improving prevention and testing coverage across the six named states. For applicants, the defining features are the requirement to qualify as a local Nigerian partner under PEPFAR rules, readiness to operate at significant scale, and the ability to work closely with CDC in a cooperative agreement model.
