Opportunity Summary:
The CDC funding opportunity CDC-RFA-PS10-10109, titled "Improving HIV Prevention Initiatives in Communities in the Republic of Zambia under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," is a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on strengthening community-based HIV prevention in Zambia. The core idea is to help programs implement, expand, and evaluate practical prevention approaches that increase how many people in the community know their own HIV status, know their sexual partner's status, and successfully connect to the right HIV-related services based on test results. In other words, the grant is not only about testing more people, but also about making sure testing leads to the next step, whether that is treatment, prevention services, or tailored support for couples.
A central emphasis of the program is couples HIV testing and counseling delivered at the community level. The opportunity prioritizes interventions that encourage partners to test together, learn their results together, and receive counseling that helps them make informed decisions as a couple. This matters because it can identify HIV-discordant couples (where one partner is HIV-positive and the other is HIV-negative) and then connect them to targeted interventions that reduce transmission risk while supporting the health of the partner living with HIV.
The grant also highlights increasing male involvement in antenatal care and in prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) services. Many PMTCT programs struggle when male partners are not engaged, so the opportunity specifically calls for strategies that bring men into antenatal and PMTCT settings, encourage joint decision-making, and normalize partner testing and participation during pregnancy. The practical expectation is that stronger male engagement will improve uptake of testing, adherence to PMTCT recommendations, and earlier linkage to services for both parents.
Linkage to services is presented as a required through-line across all activities. The announcement explicitly names examples of services that should follow testing: HIV care and treatment for people who test positive, voluntary medical male circumcision for men who test negative, and specific interventions for discordant couples. The implied program model is a full prevention-to-care pathway, where community outreach and testing are designed hand-in-hand with referral systems, follow-up, and mechanisms that reduce drop-off between diagnosis and service entry.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted March 5, 2010, created March 24, 2010, and closed May 5, 2010, with an archive date of June 4, 2010. The estimated total funding amount is $1,500,000, with an award ceiling of $1,500,000 and no stated award floor. The CDC anticipated making up to three awards. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is broad and includes public and private nonprofit organizations, for-profit organizations (including small businesses and minority- or women-owned businesses), universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and a range of governmental and tribal entities. The eligibility language also allows non-U.S. (non-domestic) entities to apply, which is particularly relevant given the work is to be implemented in Zambia. State and local governments may apply directly or through a bona fide agent; if applying as a bona fide agent, the applicant must include a letter from the relevant government entity confirming that status as part of the application package.
The opportunity is categorized under Health, uses the cooperative agreement instrument (which typically signals substantial programmatic involvement by the CDC compared with a standard grant), and is associated with CFDA number 93.067, Global AIDS. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was PGO TIMS at 770-488-2700 with a general email option noted in the posting.
