Opportunity Summary:

This funding opportunity (CDC RFA PS09-943) is a CDC cooperative agreement under PEPFAR focused on strengthening HIV prevention among students and faculty at pre-service institutions in Mozambique. The program is positioned as a cross-sector effort that brings together key government ministries, specifically the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Defense, to coordinate prevention approaches for learners and staff in institutional training settings. The overall aim is not simply to deliver messages, but to evaluate what prevention strategies fit these environments and then build practical systems that make prevention services and referrals accessible where students and faculty study and work.

The announcement indicates that CDC expects to make approximately one award, with an estimated total funding level of about $200,000. The award ceiling is $200,000 and the award floor is $50,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC anticipates substantial involvement in shaping, guiding, or collaborating on program activities rather than only providing pass-through funding. The activity category is health, and the CFDA number listed is 93.067 (Global AIDS).

In terms of what the project would actually do, the core purpose is to assess and plan HIV prevention interventions tailored to pre-service institutions. A major component is reviewing the suitability of educational and behavior change campaigns directed at students, with emphasis on abstinence and being faithful, and condom use when appropriate. The scope also explicitly includes related health content areas that commonly intersect with HIV programming, including tuberculosis and opportunistic infections. Beyond education, the opportunity stresses moving prevention into service delivery and linkage systems: applicants are expected to identify or create a plan for offering HIV testing, develop a system for condom distribution within the pre-service institutions, and identify treatment sites that are conveniently located so that students and faculty who need care can access services without major logistical barriers. In practical terms, this points to a package that includes prevention messaging, onsite or well-coordinated testing access, reliable condom availability, and clear referral pathways into treatment.

Eligibility is broad and includes multiple types of domestic entities, such as state, local, and special district governments; tribal governments and tribal organizations; public and private institutions of higher education; nonprofits (including those with and without 501(c)(3) status); for-profit organizations (including small businesses); and county or city/township governments. This range suggests CDC was open to applicants with strong public health implementation capacity, higher education experience, or program management infrastructure, provided they could carry out coordinated work across ministries and within institutional settings in Mozambique.

Key dates in the synopsis show the opportunity was posted March 31, 2009, with an application closing date of May 29, 2009, and an archive date of June 28, 2009. The estimated funding date is described as prior to September 30, 2009, indicating awards were expected before the end of the U.S. federal fiscal year. For access issues related to the full announcement, CDC listed its Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (PGOTIMS) as a contact point, with the provided phone number (770-488-2700).

Overall, the grant centers on building a coordinated, institution-based HIV prevention and linkage-to-care approach for Mozambique pre-service training environments, combining assessment and planning with tangible delivery mechanisms such as testing access, condom distribution systems, and convenient treatment referral sites, all aligned with PEPFAR priorities and implemented in collaboration with multiple Mozambican ministries.
