Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "HIV Prevention Among High Risk Men in the Republic of Botswana under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)" was issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, as part of the broader PEPFAR effort led by the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator. The basic purpose of the announcement was to support HIV prevention programming in Botswana focused on men considered at elevated risk of HIV acquisition and transmission, with programming intended to align with Botswana's national HIV strategy and to be developed in coordination with the host government and other partners. The activity sat within the global HIV/AIDS assistance portfolio and reflects the PEPFAR model of tailoring country-level investments based on assessed needs, the local epidemic context, and the host nation's planning framework.
Administratively, this funding opportunity was released as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning CDC would have had substantial involvement in the work beyond standard grant oversight. It was categorized under the health activity area and tied to CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS). The posting date was January 15, 2010, with an original closing date of March 16, 2010; however, the record shows a current closing date of March 3, 2010, and the file was later archived on April 15, 2010. The announcement anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The estimated total funding level listed was $4,000,000, while the award ceiling was $400,000 and the award floor was $0, indicating the possibility of variable award sizing up to the stated cap, with overall totals reflecting broader program budgeting.
A notable and outcome-defining element of this opportunity is that CDC Botswana officially withdrew the funding opportunity announcement. According to the notice, the withdrawal followed a meeting between the CDC Country Director and the Government of Botswana in which it became clear there was a misunderstanding about the intent of the activity. The announcement notes that the opportunity had originally been named in a way that referenced men who have sex with men (MSM), and that CDC and the Government of Botswana agreed not to proceed as written. Instead, they chose to pull the FOA and work jointly on developing a revised, more politically sensitive and mutually agreeable announcement that would better reflect the populations the Government of Botswana wanted the program to address. The stated rationale was to avoid pushing forward under contested assumptions and to ensure any reissued opportunity would suit all parties involved; CDC indicated they expected to complete this revision effort in the following weeks.
Eligibility for the opportunity, as published, was broad and included a wide range of organizational types from both the U.S. and abroad. Eligible applicants included public and private nonprofit organizations, for-profit organizations, small and minority- or women-owned businesses, universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, federally recognized tribal entities and tribal epidemiology centers, and state and local governments (including U.S. territories and affiliated jurisdictions), as well as non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities and other applicants described in the additional eligibility text. The announcement also explained that a "bona fide agent" could apply on behalf of a state or local government if officially designated, but would need to provide documentation (a letter) confirming that status when submitting through Grants.gov. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
In practical terms, the opportunity reflects the CDC/PEPFAR approach of partnering closely with host governments to design HIV prevention interventions that fit national priorities and political realities, and it also illustrates how sensitive target-population definitions can be in public health programming. Even though the announcement was ultimately withdrawn, the record makes clear the intent was to fund targeted HIV prevention work among higher-risk men in Botswana through a cooperative agreement, with significant CDC engagement, under the global HIV/AIDS assistance authority. For applicants or stakeholders, the key takeaway is that the specific solicitation did not move forward in its posted form, and CDC Botswana planned to replace it with a revised opportunity developed in consultation with the Government of Botswana.
For access or administrative questions, the listing provided a CDC procurement/grants contact point (PGO TIMS Grants) with a phone number (770-488-2700) and referenced a general email address field, indicating where applicants could seek help if they could not access the full announcement electronically.
