Opportunity Summary:

This funding opportunity, CDC RFA PS10-10118, is a PEPFAR-supported cooperative agreement run by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) focused on HIV/AIDS prevention in the Republic of South Africa through mass media and social mobilization. The central aim is to select one implementing partner that will work closely with key South African institutions, including the South African Government (SAG), the South African National AIDS Council (SANAC), the National Department of Health (NDOH), provincial health departments, and other relevant stakeholders. Rather than operating in isolation, the award is designed around collaboration and coordination so that media, communications, and advocacy efforts reinforce national and provincial HIV prevention priorities.

At a practical level, the program is about using multimedia communication and advocacy strategies to help create an “enabling environment” where people are better able and more motivated to make healthy choices related to HIV prevention, both as individuals and as communities. That includes shaping knowledge and attitudes, encouraging safer behaviors, reducing barriers like stigma or misinformation, and supporting community-level action where groups organize around shared health goals. The framing emphasizes empowerment and collective action, meaning the work is not limited to broadcasting messages, but also includes social mobilization approaches that can move audiences from awareness to engagement and sustained behavior change.

The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the funded project compared with a standard grant. In this type of arrangement, the recipient still leads day-to-day implementation, but planning, technical direction, and coordination with CDC and country partners are usually more active and ongoing. The funding activity category is health, and it falls under CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS), aligning it directly with PEPFAR’s broader global HIV/AIDS response.

In terms of scale and competitiveness, the announcement anticipates a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $24,000,000. The posted date is February 11, 2010, and the original and current closing date listed are both April 12, 2010, with an archive date of May 12, 2010. The notice lists no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility.

Eligibility is broad and includes U.S. and non-U.S. entities across nonprofit, for-profit, academic, research, clinical, community, and government sectors. Specifically, eligible applicants include public and private nonprofit organizations, for-profit organizations (including small, minority-, and women-owned businesses), universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and multiple categories of tribal organizations and tribal governments. State and local governments (and their bona fide agents) are also eligible, including U.S. territories and freely associated states listed in the announcement. Non-domestic entities are explicitly eligible as well, which is relevant given the South Africa implementation context. For applicants applying as a bona fide agent of a state or local government, the opportunity requires documentation in the form of a letter from the relevant government entity to confirm that status.

For support or questions about accessing the full announcement, the listing provides a CDC Procurement and Grants Office contact point (PGO TIMS grants) with a phone number (770-488-2700) and a general email contact, indicating that administrative assistance was available to prospective applicants who could not retrieve the full materials electronically.
