Opportunity Summary:
This CDC cooperative agreement opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS10-10114) was issued under PEPFAR to strengthen Ethiopia's HIV response by positioning local universities as key implementers and technical leaders. The overall aim is to help build an indigenous, sustainable national program by supporting innovative, culturally appropriate, high-quality HIV prevention, care and support, and treatment services. Rather than operating as a short-term external project, the program is designed to reinforce long-term country capacity across multiple levels of the health system, including national and regional leadership, health networks, and individual health facilities.
A central focus of the grant is institutional capacity building within the selected local university partner. The intent is to strengthen the university's administrative and technical ability to plan, manage, and implement HIV/AIDS program activities within the university itself, developing durable internal systems for program design, implementation, monitoring, and ongoing improvement. In practice, this means the university is expected to become increasingly capable of running its own HIV program components, not only delivering services or activities but also managing the operational backbone that makes those activities sustainable, such as coordination, staffing, reporting, and quality oversight.
Beyond the university setting, the program also emphasizes structured technical support to the wider public health system in the university's catchment area. The university partner would provide support to surrounding health facilities and health networks, and collaborate with the relevant Regional Health Bureau (RHB) and the Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH). The point of this arrangement is to strengthen implementation of the broader HIV/AIDS program, improve service quality for people living with HIV, and enhance the overall functioning of the health network system. This includes helping facilities and networks deliver stronger prevention, care and support, and treatment services through better technical guidance, improved implementation practices, and strengthened coordination between facility, network, regional, and national stakeholders.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant mechanism using a cooperative agreement, meaning CDC would anticipate substantial involvement with the awardee compared to a standard grant. The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000 and an award ceiling of $100,000 (award floor listed as $0). There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The assistance listing referenced is CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS), aligning the program with U.S. global HIV investments through PEPFAR.
The eligibility language is broad and includes a wide range of potential applicant types, including public and private nonprofits, universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, for-profit entities (including small businesses and minority/women-owned businesses), and various government entities and tribal organizations. The notice also explicitly allows non-U.S. (non-domestic) entities to apply. For applicants applying as a bona fide agent of a state or local government, documentation in the form of a letter from the relevant government entity was required as part of the submission package.
Key dates in the announcement indicate it was posted and created on March 16, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 17, 2010, and an archive date of May 18, 2010. The funding opportunity was published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, with applicant support available through the CDC Procurement and Grants Office, Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) at 770-488-2700 for help accessing the full announcement.
