Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "HIV Co-infection Surveillance Strategies for Program Planning in the Central America Region under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," was a CDC discretionary grant posted on February 25, 2013 (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH13-1344). It used a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which typically means the CDC expected to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, rather than providing a hands-off grant. The overall aim was to strengthen how countries in the Central America Region detect, track, and respond to HIV co-infections and opportunistic infections, and to use better data to guide program decisions and practical interventions that improve patient care and treatment outcomes for people living with HIV.
At its core, the FOA focused on improving HIV co-infection surveillance and control activities. In practical terms, this means building or upgrading systems that can consistently identify and report infections that commonly occur alongside HIV, including opportunistic infections that take advantage of weakened immune systems. The opportunity also emphasized improving the availability, integration, and quality of clinical services for HIV patients who are affected by these conditions. The expectation was that stronger surveillance data would not sit on a shelf, but would directly feed into program planning, helping stakeholders prioritize resources, spot gaps in service delivery, and design targeted interventions that improve continuity of care, earlier diagnosis, and appropriate treatment for co-infections in the region.
Funding for the award was estimated at a total of $5,000,000, and the FOA anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The announcement did not specify an award ceiling or floor (both listed as 0), which often indicates that the ceiling was not formally capped in the posting and that applicants needed to rely on the FOA narrative and budget guidance rather than a fixed maximum. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of award. The funding activity category was Health, and the CFDA number associated with the program was 93.067 (Global AIDS), aligning it with broader U.S. government global HIV/AIDS efforts under PEPFAR.
Eligibility was broad and included a wide range of U.S. and non-U.S. entities. Eligible applicants included nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), small/minority/women-owned businesses, universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, tribal governments and tribal organizations (including Alaska Native health corporations and tribal epidemiology centers), and state and local governments or their bona fide agents, including U.S. territories and affiliated jurisdictions listed in the eligibility section. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities were also eligible, which fits the regional focus on Central America. For applicants applying as a bona fide agent of a state or local government, the FOA required a legal, binding agreement documenting that status to be submitted with the application materials.
From an implementation standpoint, the opportunity was designed to help the region produce better, more actionable information on co-infections among people living with HIV, and to translate that information into improved clinical practice and service delivery. The emphasis on integration suggests the CDC wanted services for HIV and related opportunistic infections to work together more effectively, rather than operating as separate, disconnected programs. The stated intent was to improve not only the amount of data available, but also its quality and how well it is integrated into clinical and public health decision-making, ultimately strengthening care and treatment for people living with HIV across the Central America Region.
Key administrative dates show this was a time-limited competition. The original and current closing date were both April 12, 2013, with an archive date of May 12, 2013. The awarding agency was the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For help accessing the full announcement at the time, CDC directed applicants to the CDC Procurement and Grants Office, Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), reachable by phone at 770-488-2700 or by email at pgotim@cdc.gov.
