Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), focuses on strengthening HIV/AIDS program capacity in Kenya by building human resources capacity and supporting the transition of the national HIV program toward greater leadership and implementation by local organizations. The core idea is that long-term program sustainability depends not only on supplies, clinical services, and systems, but also on a capable workforce and strong local institutions that can manage, deliver, and continuously improve HIV prevention, care, and treatment services in line with Kenya's own strategic plans and partnership framework. CDC describes its role within PEPFAR as working with host countries and key partners to assess country needs and design a tailored package of assistance that fits national priorities, which in this case is explicitly tied to localization and capacity building.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, meaning CDC expects substantial involvement with the recipient during implementation rather than operating as a hands-off funder. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding within the health activity area and is associated with CFDA number 93.067 (Global AIDS). The grant anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $15,000,000. The listed award ceiling is $2,000,000 and the award floor is $0, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to provide additional non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
The grant was posted on January 28, 2013, with the application closing date of April 4, 2013, and an archive date of May 4, 2013. While the announcement text provided here is brief and does not spell out detailed program activities, the title and framing make the intent clear: invest in workforce development and broader human resources capacity building as a practical pathway to shift program ownership and implementation capacity to Kenyan and other local entities. In typical PEPFAR/CDC workforce-oriented awards, this can include strengthening staffing structures, improving recruitment and retention approaches, developing training and mentorship systems, building management and leadership competencies, supporting technical assistance for local partners, and enhancing institutional capacity so local organizations can meet performance, financial, and compliance expectations associated with large-scale HIV programming.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of organization types, reflecting CDC's interest in attracting implementers with different strengths, from clinical delivery and public health programming to training, research, and organizational development. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in those categories), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), small/minority/women-owned businesses, universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, tribal governments and tribally affiliated entities (including Alaska Native health corporations and urban Indian organizations), tribal epidemiology centers, and state and local governments or their bona fide agents, as well as non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities and other applicants as clarified in the full eligibility text. This broad eligibility signals that applicants could include U.S.-based institutions, Kenyan/local organizations, or partnerships capable of delivering human resources development and supporting localization objectives.
