Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (CDC RFA PS09-926) is a CDC discretionary cooperative agreement under CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS). It supports work in Botswana under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and is focused specifically on expanding HIV prevention counseling, psychosocial support, and outreach services tied to prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) programming. The central goal is to make PMTCT services more effective by building a comprehensive, facility-based approach that uses peer counseling and structured psychosocial support for pregnant women and new mothers living with HIV/AIDS. In practical terms, the award is aimed at strengthening the human support systems around women as they move through antenatal care, delivery, and the postpartum period, when adherence, retention in care, disclosure challenges, stigma, and mental health or social stressors can directly affect both maternal health and infant HIV outcomes.
The funding is structured for approximately one award, with an award ceiling and floor both listed at USD 1,825,000, indicating a fixed anticipated annual amount for the selected recipient under this announcement. While the opportunity lists an estimated total funding of USD 9,125,000, the announcement also indicates only one expected award, which typically suggests a multi-year project period where the overall total could reflect anticipated funding across several budget periods (subject to availability of funds and satisfactory performance). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for applicants and allows budgeting to focus on program delivery, staffing, training, supervision, and monitoring activities.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the competition is open to any type of applicant entity as long as it meets any further conditions described in the full announcement. Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, applicants should generally expect substantial involvement from CDC in areas such as technical direction, performance monitoring, and coordination with national strategies and PEPFAR priorities. Cooperative agreements usually emphasize collaboration and alignment with government and donor frameworks rather than a fully independent, contractor-like relationship.
Key dates provided show the opportunity was posted March 31, 2009, with applications due May 28, 2009 by 5:00 pm Eastern Time. The estimated funding date is before September 30, 2009. The archive date is June 27, 2009, reflecting that this is an older, time-limited competition that has since closed, but the summary remains useful as a snapshot of program priorities and design expectations during that funding cycle.
Operationally, the described programmatic purpose centers on integrating peer counseling and psychosocial services within health facilities that provide PMTCT-related care. "Facility-based peer counseling" commonly implies training and deploying peers (often women living with HIV, mentor mothers, or community-linked counselors) to provide education, adherence support, encouragement for clinic attendance, guidance on safer infant feeding decisions consistent with national policy, and assistance navigating disclosure and partner/family dynamics. "Psychosocial support" typically includes structured counseling, screening and referral for depression or anxiety, problem-solving support for social and economic barriers, stigma reduction strategies, and linkages to community resources. The reference to outreach services suggests an expectation of follow-up beyond routine clinic visits, such as tracing missed appointments, maintaining continuity during postpartum transitions, and ensuring mothers and infants remain engaged in services that reduce transmission risk and support long-term treatment.
The opportunity is administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the full announcement and application instructions were available through Grants.gov. For applicants who could not access the announcement electronically, CDC provided a contact point through PGO TIMS (phone: 770-488-2700) for assistance.
