Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), focuses on increasing the uptake and expansion of Preventing Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) services in Nigeria by establishing and strengthening community-based PMTCT programs. The core goal is to move beyond relying only on facility-based services and to close the gap between what is available in the health system and what pregnant and postpartum women actually use at the community level. The announcement highlights that universal access to PMTCT remains difficult not because PMTCT is unknown or ineffective, but because too few service outlets provide comprehensive PMTCT care and because existing services are often underutilized where they are most needed.
The opportunity is framed around practical, real-world barriers that reduce PMTCT uptake. These include HIV-related stigma and discrimination that discourage women and families from seeking testing and care, low utilization of antenatal and postpartum services by pregnant women (which limits chances for HIV testing, treatment initiation, and follow-up), and weak male and broader community involvement that can affect disclosure, adherence, partner testing, and continued engagement in care. In other words, the grant is meant to support approaches that bring PMTCT closer to communities, normalize and encourage service use, and improve the social and behavioral conditions that determine whether women successfully move through the PMTCT cascade from pregnancy through breastfeeding.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant using a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning CDC would typically expect substantial involvement in program direction, monitoring, or technical support compared with a standard grant. It falls under the health activity category and is tied to CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS). CDC anticipated making three awards under this announcement. The estimated total funding amount listed is $25,000,000, with an award ceiling of $5,000,000 and an award floor of $500,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated, which lowers the financial barrier for organizations that may not be able to contribute additional funds.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of potential implementers and partners, such as 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.-affiliated tribal entities and organizations. It also includes state and local governments (and their bona fide agents, with documentation required), political subdivisions of states under certain conditions, and non-U.S. (non-domestic) entities. This wide eligibility suggests the program was designed to attract implementers with on-the-ground community reach in Nigeria as well as groups with clinical, research, evaluation, and systems-strengthening capacity.
Key timeline details indicate the opportunity was posted on February 11, 2010, with an original closing date of April 8, 2010, later extended to April 22, 2010, and archived on May 8, 2010. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact CDC procurement/grants support (PGO TIMS) by phone at 770-488-2700. Overall, the grant is centered on scaling community-linked PMTCT delivery and demand generation in Nigeria, with a clear emphasis on overcoming stigma, improving antenatal and postpartum engagement, and strengthening male and community participation so more women and infants can benefit from proven PMTCT interventions.
