Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH11-1117) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) focused on Zambia. The overall aim is to sustain and strengthen HIV/AIDS prevention, care, support, and treatment services that were previously established through a PEPFAR-funded HHS/CDC HIV clinical services and antiretroviral therapy program. The work is specifically targeted to four provinces in the Republic of Zambia: Eastern, Lusaka, Southern, and Western. A central theme of the announcement is continuity of service delivery, meaning applicants are expected to keep existing clinical and program operations functioning and effective rather than starting from scratch.
The program emphasis includes improved prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) alongside broader HIV clinical care and treatment, including antiretroviral treatment services. In practical terms, this means activities would typically cover strengthening PMTCT service points, ensuring HIV testing and counseling is well integrated into maternal and child health services, linking HIV-positive pregnant and breastfeeding women to sustained antiretroviral therapy, and improving follow-up for mothers and HIV-exposed infants. At the same time, the award supports ongoing HIV care infrastructure, including clinical management, patient monitoring, adherence support, and service delivery systems that help keep patients in care and virally suppressed.
A defining requirement of this opportunity is capacity building and transition. The successful applicant or applicants are expected not only to deliver services during the project period, but also to build the operational and managerial capacity of Zambia's Provincial Medical Offices in the four provinces. By the end of the project period, the program expects a transition of services to these Provincial Medical Offices, implying a clear sustainability and handover plan. This generally involves training, mentoring, strengthening data and reporting systems, improving supply and logistics coordination, building supervision and quality improvement processes, and ensuring provincial leadership can manage, oversee, and maintain program performance after the external award support ends.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the CDC in programmatic direction, oversight, and collaboration during implementation. The activity category is health, and the CFDA number listed is 93.067 (Global AIDS). The announcement anticipated up to three awards, with an estimated total funding level of $150,000,000 across the opportunity. No cost sharing or matching is required. The award ceiling and floor are listed as 0 in the source data, which usually means the specific award amounts are not expressed as fixed minimums or maximums in that particular summary field and would be detailed in the full announcement.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of organizational types: nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses), small businesses (including small, minority-, and women-owned businesses), universities, colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based organizations, and faith-based organizations. Government entities are also eligible, including state and local governments and their bona fide agents, as well as federally or state-recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments. Non-U.S. (non-domestic) entities are explicitly listed as eligible as well, which is relevant for in-country implementers in Zambia or international organizations operating there. If applying as a bona fide agent for a state or local government, applicants must provide documentation from the government confirming that status.
Key dates in the listing show the opportunity was posted February 12, 2011, with an original closing date of April 13, 2011, later extended to April 20, 2011. The archive date is May 20, 2011, meaning it is no longer an active solicitation, but the summary captures the scope and structure of the program that was competed at that time.
