Enhancing Quality of the Life Skills Curriculum through the Provision of Technical Expertise in the Republic of Botswana Under the President s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

This funding opportunity, CDC-RFA-PS10-1092, is a PEPFAR-supported cooperative agreement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) focused on Botswana. The central purpose is to strengthen and improve the quality of the country s Life Skills curriculum by providing technical expertise. In practical terms, the award is meant to support Botswana s HIV prevention and broader health education goals by upgrading curriculum content, teaching approaches, and related implementation support so the Life Skills program better aligns with national strategies and the broader PEPFAR partnership framework.

The announcement sits under the umbrella of the U.S. President s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and notes that CDC, operating under the leadership of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, works with host governments and other partners to identify needs and tailor assistance to fit the host nation s strategic plan. That framing signals that the work is intended to be coordinated closely with Botswana s existing policies and priorities rather than functioning as a standalone project. Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, the recipient should expect substantial involvement from CDC compared to a standard grant. Cooperative agreements commonly involve ongoing technical collaboration, alignment with CDC guidance, and joint planning or oversight to ensure program activities meet agreed objectives and reflect best practices.

The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding within the Health activity area and is tied to CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS). CDC anticipated making one award in total. The estimated total funding across the project is listed as $4,000,000, with an award ceiling of $800,000 and an award floor of $0. The notice specifies there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.

Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of organizations and government entities. Eligible applicants include public and private nonprofit organizations, for-profit organizations (including small, minority-, and women-owned businesses), universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and a variety of U.S. tribal entities (including federally recognized Indian tribal organizations and tribal epidemiology centers). It also includes state and local governments or their bona fide agents, as well as non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities, which is particularly relevant given the program focus in Botswana. For applicants applying as a bona fide agent of a state or local government, the announcement requires documentation in the form of a letter from the relevant government confirming that status, to be submitted as an attachment through Grants.gov.

Key dates show the opportunity was posted on January 14, 2010, created on March 4, 2010, and had an original and current closing date of March 15, 2010. The archive date is April 14, 2010, indicating the competition is no longer active, but the details remain useful for understanding how CDC structured this type of PEPFAR cooperative agreement and what it emphasized. Applicants at the time would have submitted through Grants.gov and should have been prepared to describe how they would deliver specialized technical support to improve curriculum quality, coordinate with Botswana stakeholders, and operate in a way that fits national planning and PEPFAR objectives.
