Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (CDC RFA GH13-1321) is a CDC cooperative agreement under the Global AIDS program (CFDA 93.067) supported by the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). Its central aim is to expand population-level access to a full range of HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment services in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). By broadening access and strengthening service delivery, the program is intended to reduce HIV-related illness and deaths and to help move the country toward better control of the HIV epidemic. The announcement emphasizes CDC-supported geographies in DRC, focusing particularly on three priority provinces where CDC already provides assistance: Kinshasa, Province Oriental, and Katanga, while also noting that additional provinces may be identified later.
Applicants were expected to propose work in at least one of the specified geographic components: A) Kinshasa, B) Oriental, and/or C) Katanga. In practical terms, this means proposals needed to be grounded in provincial realities and oriented toward scaling comprehensive services rather than narrowly isolated activities. Although the short description does not list specific interventions, the phrase "comprehensive HIV/AIDS services" typically implies an integrated package spanning prevention (including testing and linkage), clinical care, and antiretroviral treatment services, with the overall objective of lowering morbidity and mortality and improving epidemic outcomes at the population level.
The mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates a substantial level of federal involvement compared with a standard grant. In these arrangements, CDC commonly plays an active role through technical collaboration, oversight of performance objectives, and coordination with national and provincial stakeholders, rather than simply providing funds and receiving periodic reports. The activity category is Health, consistent with implementation and public health programming rather than basic research alone.
The opportunity carried an estimated total funding amount of USD 60,000,000, with an award ceiling of USD 12,000,000 and no stated award floor. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for applicants that may have limited non-federal resources and allows proposals to focus on programmatic effectiveness and feasibility rather than securing match funding. The announcement was posted on February 28, 2013, with an application closing date of April 8, 2013, and an archive date of May 8, 2013.
Eligibility was broad and included a wide range of organizational types in both the U.S. and internationally. Eligible applicants included nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in those specific nonprofit categories), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), small/minority/women-owned businesses, universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and multiple categories of tribal governments and tribal health entities. State and local governments (including U.S. territories and affiliated jurisdictions listed in the announcement) were also eligible, including submission through bona fide agents, provided a legal binding agreement documenting that status was included with the application. Notably, non-U.S. (non-domestic) entities were explicitly eligible, which aligns with implementation needs in DRC and opens the competition to local and international organizations capable of delivering services on the ground.
For applicant support or access issues related to the full announcement, CDC directed inquiries to the Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) via phone at 770-488-2700 or email at pgotim@cdc.gov.
