Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Improving HIV/AIDS Surveillance and Program Evaluation in Cote dIvoire (ISPEC) under the Presidents Emergency Plan for HIV/AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)" is a CDC-led cooperative agreement focused on strengthening the data systems and evaluation capacity that support HIV/AIDS programs in Cote dIvoire. The overall purpose is to improve how HIV information is collected, analyzed, and used so that national decision-makers and PEPFAR partners can better track the epidemic, measure program performance, and target resources where they will have the greatest impact. The announcement frames this work within PEPFAR, led by the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, emphasizing that CDC and partners design assistance packages that align with the host country strategic plan and partnership framework rather than operating as a standalone U.S. project.

From a funding and structure standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning CDC is expected to have substantial involvement in guiding and collaborating on technical direction, monitoring, and implementation. The opportunity anticipated one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $10,000,000. The listed award ceiling is $2,000,000 and the award floor is $0, indicating that individual budget periods or annual allocations could vary up to the ceiling depending on the approved workplan and available funds. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces financial barriers for applicants that may not have non-federal funds to contribute.

The program sits in the health activity category and is tied to CFDA number 93.067 (Global AIDS), signaling its alignment with broader U.S. government HIV/AIDS assistance. Although the short description provided in the source text is high-level, the title and context make clear that the intended scope is to enhance HIV/AIDS surveillance and program evaluation functions, typically including improvements to routine monitoring systems, data quality processes, surveillance methodologies, and the ability to evaluate whether prevention, care, and treatment activities are delivering results. In practice, initiatives like ISPEC commonly aim to strengthen national and subnational capacity to generate timely, reliable HIV indicators, support evidence-based planning, and ensure that program adjustments are driven by what the data show.

Eligibility for this opportunity is broad and includes a wide range of domestic and non-domestic entities. Eligible applicants include nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that category), for-profit organizations (other than small business), small/minority/women-owned businesses, universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and various U.S.-recognized tribal governments and tribal health entities. State and local governments (and their bona fide agents) are also eligible, including U.S. territories and freely associated states listed in the notice. Non-U.S. entities are explicitly eligible as well, which is especially relevant for work centered in Cote dIvoire. For applicants applying as a bona fide agent on behalf of a state or local government, the announcement requires a legal, binding agreement documenting that status, submitted with the application package.

Key administrative details show the opportunity was posted on February 25, 2013, with an original closing date of April 9, 2013, later extended to April 22, 2013. The archive date is May 9, 2013, meaning it is no longer open, but the summary still helps clarify what CDC sought to fund under PEPFAR at that time. The funding opportunity number is CDC-RFA-GH13-1352, which can be used to reference the announcement in records or past performance documentation.

For applicants or partners who needed help accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was the CDC Procurement and Grants Office, Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), reachable by phone at 770-488-2700 or by email at pgotim@cdc.gov.
