Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (CDC RFA GH12-1208) was a discretionary cooperative agreement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). Its core purpose was to strengthen Guyana's health system by increasing the number and capability of trained health professionals, with a particular emphasis on building epidemiological capacity through a university-based training program. Framed under the leadership of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, the announcement reflects PEPFAR's broader approach: CDC works alongside the host country and other partners to identify country-specific needs and then design support that fits the host nation's own strategic plan and partnership framework. In practice, this means the funded work was expected to align tightly with Guyana's national priorities for HIV/AIDS and related public health workforce development rather than operate as a standalone external project.
The award mechanism was a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial CDC involvement beyond standard grant oversight. While the announcement text provided here does not list specific programmatic activities, the title and context point to a focus on structured training delivered through a university setting, likely including formal curricula, mentorship, and practical placements that build applied epidemiology skills and strengthen the pipeline of human resources for health. Because it is housed under PEPFAR and the CFDA listing for Global AIDS (93.067), the workforce and epidemiology strengthening would reasonably be intended to support HIV prevention, treatment, and surveillance outcomes, while also improving broader public health capacity.
CDC anticipated making one award, indicating a single primary implementer would lead the effort. The estimated total funding for the opportunity was $2,000,000, and the award ceiling was $440,000, suggesting a multi-year program structure where annual funding levels may have been capped around that amount, subject to continuation and available funds. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility was broad and inclusive, covering a wide range of organizational types that could credibly implement a university-linked training and capacity-building program. Eligible applicants included U.S. and non-U.S. entities, nonprofits with or 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, and various government entities. The notice also allowed applications from state and local governments or their Bona Fide Agents, including U.S. territories and freely associated states, with a specific documentation requirement: if applying as a bona fide agent, the applicant needed to attach a legal, binding agreement from the relevant government confirming that status when submitting through Grants.gov.
Key dates show the announcement was posted on February 3, 2012, originally closed on April 3, 2012, and later extended to April 17, 2012. The opportunity was archived on June 7, 2012, meaning it is no longer open for applications and is provided for historical reference.
