Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary funding opportunity focused on expanding HIV/AIDS services in Guyana's hinterland areas, specifically targeting Indigenous Amerindian communities in Regions 1 and 9. The initiative is framed as a partnership and capacity-building effort under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), with an emphasis on strengthening coordination among stakeholders while improving access to HIV prevention, care, and related support services in remote and underserved communities.
This opportunity was issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expected to have substantial involvement during the project period rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The activity category is health, and the program is associated with CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS). The overall intent is to improve the reach and effectiveness of HIV/AIDS programs in geographically challenging hinterland regions where distance, infrastructure limitations, and cultural and linguistic barriers can make standard service delivery models difficult. By centering Indigenous Amerindian communities in Regions 1 and 9, the announcement signals a priority on culturally appropriate approaches and on building the local partnerships needed to coordinate services across government, community organizations, and health providers.
Funding details in the posting indicate an estimated total funding amount of $1,250,000 for the announcement, with award amounts listed with a ceiling of $100,000 and a floor of $50,000, and an expectation of up to three awards. At the same time, the narrative description highlights that approximately $250,000 would be available to support approximately one award, suggesting that the announcement may have included multiple potential awards or phases, or that the specific hinterland component described was expected to be funded at that level within the broader total. Cost sharing or matching was not required, and eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning a wide range of organizations could apply, subject to any added clarifications contained in the full announcement.
Key administrative dates show the opportunity was posted on March 31, 2009, with an original closing date of May 28, 2009, later extended to June 8, 2009. Applications were due by 5:00 pm Eastern Time on the closing date. The archive date was June 27, 2009. The CDC anticipated making funding available prior to September 30, 2009, which is often tied to federal fiscal year timelines and indicates an intent to move from competition to award within that budget cycle.
Applicants were directed to consult the full program announcement on Grants.gov for complete requirements, program expectations, and application instructions. For access issues, the contact provided was PGO TIMS at 770-488-2700, with a general email contact referenced in the notice.
