Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (CDC RFA PS09-996) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cooperative agreement funded under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) to establish a Regional Caribbean HIV Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Training and Technical Assistance Coordination Center. The core idea is to create a regional hub that strengthens how HIV programs across the Caribbean measure what they are doing, learn from the data they collect, and use that information to guide real-world decisions. Rather than focusing on direct service delivery, the opportunity is centered on building regional capacity in monitoring, evaluation, and strategic information so that HIV/AIDS activities can be planned, tracked, improved, and credibly reported.
The stated purpose is to substantially increase the ability of HIV/AIDS leaders, program managers, and staff throughout the region to design and implement strategies for collecting and using M&E data. In practice, this means improving skills and systems related to selecting indicators, establishing data collection processes, ensuring data quality, analyzing and interpreting results, and translating findings into policy and program decisions. The CDC frames this as strengthening "strategic information" for HIV, meaning the routine and special-study data needed to set priorities, make choices about where resources should go, improve performance during implementation, document results and outcomes, and demonstrate accountability for how funds are used.
Funding for the announcement is approximately $175,000 in total, with the expectation of making one award. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $175,000, signaling that the CDC anticipated a single, fixed-size award rather than a range of possible award amounts. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the funding agency (in this case, the CDC) in collaboration, technical input, and oversight compared with a standard grant.
Eligibility is narrowly limited. The only applicant eligible to apply is the Caribbean Health Research Council (CHRC), meaning this is effectively a sole-eligible-applicant competition intended to fund a specific organization to carry out a defined regional coordination role. While the general posting lists "Others" under eligible applicants, the eligibility clarification explicitly states that CHRC is the only eligible applicant, so other institutions would not be able to submit a qualifying application under this funding opportunity.
Key administrative details include the posting date of April 14, 2009, with an application closing date of May 29, 2009, and an archive date of June 28, 2009. The CDC anticipated making the award before September 30, 2009. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, within the health activity category, and is associated with CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS). For full program requirements and application instructions, the notice directs applicants to the complete announcement on Grants.gov, while noting that the title also appeared on the CDC funding opportunities page.
For access issues related to the full announcement, the notice provides a point of contact through CDC's Procurement and Grants Office (PGO TIM) at 770-488-2700. Overall, the grant is best understood as an investment in regional M&E training, technical assistance coordination, and the practical use of HIV data to improve program effectiveness and accountability across Caribbean HIV responses supported under PEPFAR.
