Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary funding opportunity under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) titled "HIV Prevention for Most at Risk Populations (MARPs), Republic of Mozambique." The program is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning recipients would be expected to work closely with CDC on program planning, implementation, and oversight rather than operating entirely independently. The overall aim is to strengthen and expand HIV prevention efforts specifically targeted to groups in Mozambique that face a higher risk of acquiring or transmitting HIV.
The opportunity is framed by Mozambique's significant HIV burden, with an estimated national HIV prevalence of around 16 percent. While the announcement notes that many new infections still occur within the broader general population, it emphasizes that certain sub-populations experience substantially elevated risk and therefore warrant targeted prevention approaches. The focus on "most at risk populations" reflects a strategy of directing resources to groups where prevention services can have outsized impact, particularly when barriers like stigma, discrimination, criminalization, and limited access to health services keep people from getting tested, receiving prevention counseling, or using prevention tools consistently.
The grant prioritizes prevention activities among a wide range of identified MARPs. These include people engaged in sex work and their clients, people who use drugs, men who have sex with men (MSM), military and police or other uniformed services, men and women involved in transactional sex, incarcerated individuals, and mobile populations such as migrant workers and truck drivers. It also highlights street youth and people whose sexual risk behaviors are associated with alcohol use. In practical terms, this scope suggests support for interventions that can reach people in diverse settings, including communities, workplaces, transport corridors, nightlife environments, and correctional facilities, with services adapted to the realities of each group.
In terms of funding and scale, CDC anticipated making two awards. The notice states that approximately $1,946,000 would be available in fiscal year 2010 to support those awards, and it lists an award ceiling of $1,946,000 with no stated award floor. The opportunity summary also includes an estimated total funding figure of $9,000,000, which typically signals that the program may have been envisioned over multiple budget periods or years even if the first-year amount is lower. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, reducing the need for applicants to bring non-federal funds to participate.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning any type of entity could apply, subject to any additional conditions that may be described in the full funding announcement. The funding opportunity number is CDC-RFA-PS10-1085, and it is listed under CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS), within the health activity category. Key dates included a posted date of January 28, 2010, with an application closing date of March 31, 2010, and an archive date of April 30, 2010. Applicants were directed to consult the full announcement on Grants.gov for complete program requirements, expectations, and application instructions. For access issues, the contact listed was the PGO TIMS office at 770-488-2700, with a general email also referenced in the notice.
