Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Improving the Capacity of University Based Medical Education and Superior Training Institutions to Provide High Quality Education in the Republic of Mozambique Under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)" is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement aimed at strengthening Mozambique's health workforce pipeline through improved higher education and professional training. It sits under PEPFAR and is framed around the idea that long-term, sustainable HIV and broader health services depend heavily on a capable national health system, which in turn relies on strong universities and superior training institutions that can consistently produce well-prepared graduates.
At its core, the opportunity focuses on building the capacity of both government-supported and private institutions involved in university-based medical education and other advanced training programs. The goal is to improve the quality of education and practical training so graduates enter the workforce with stronger clinical skills, better preparedness for real-world service delivery, and the ability to support PEPFAR-related priorities and broader public health needs. Rather than concentrating on direct service delivery alone, the emphasis is upstream: improving how health professionals are trained so the overall system becomes more resilient and self-sustaining over time.
The CDC describes several specific types of activities it expects to support. A major area is curriculum revision, meaning institutions may update or modernize course content, training standards, and teaching approaches to better reflect current clinical practice, HIV-related care needs, and public health priorities. Another large component is faculty development, including strengthening technical expertise as well as boosting teaching skills and instructional capacity for both classroom faculty and field-based supervisors. The opportunity also allows for the purchase of teaching and reference materials to improve learning resources, along with clinical equipment used for practicums, skills labs, and hands-on training environments. In addition, the program can support minor renovations that are directly tied to improving training settings, such as modest upgrades needed to make clinical teaching spaces functional and effective.
The funding may also be used for key practical supports that help training actually happen at high quality and at scale. This includes salaries for part-time classroom instructors and field supervisors who oversee students during clinical placements, as well as transportation and accommodation costs so students can reach practicum sites and complete required field experiences. Scholarships are also listed as an allowable support, which aligns with the broader objective of expanding and stabilizing the pipeline of trained professionals, especially where financial barriers might otherwise limit enrollment or completion. Across these elements, the emphasis remains on improving the teaching and supervision environment so students receive consistent, high-quality instruction both in classrooms and in clinical settings.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically means substantial involvement from the CDC in guiding, supporting, or collaborating on the project compared with a more hands-off grant. The activity category is health, and it is associated with CFDA number 93.067 (Global AIDS). The estimated total funding amount is $2,500,000, with an expectation of two awards. The listing shows no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for applicants that may not be able to contribute significant non-federal funds.
Eligibility is broad and includes public and private nonprofit organizations, for-profit organizations, small and minority- or women-owned businesses, universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and various U.S.-based governmental and tribal entities. Notably, non-U.S. (non-domestic) entities are also eligible, which is important given the Mozambique-focused nature of the work and the role local institutions may play. The announcement also explains that a "bona fide agent" may apply on behalf of a state or local government, but would need formal documentation (a letter) confirming that status when submitting through Grants.gov.
Key dates in the source information indicate the opportunity was posted February 19, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 20, 2010, and an archive date of May 20, 2010. The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA PS10-1084. For technical issues accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is PGO TIMS Grants at 770-488-2700 with a general email contact referenced in the notice.
Overall, the opportunity is designed to strengthen Mozambique's medical and superior training institutions by improving curricula, building faculty teaching capacity, enhancing training resources and clinical practicum readiness, and reducing logistical and financial barriers for students and supervisors. The intended result is a stronger, more reliable pipeline of high-quality health graduates who can support HIV/AIDS response efforts under PEPFAR while also reinforcing the broader health system.
