Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Increasing Public Health Workforce Capacity to Implement and Deliver Laboratory Services and Public Health Interventions in the Dominican Republic Under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," is a CDC-funded cooperative agreement designed to strengthen the Dominican Republic's public health workforce and the systems that support HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and tuberculosis (TB) prevention, detection, and response. The program sits within the broader PEPFAR framework and emphasizes practical workforce development that directly improves how health services are planned, delivered, measured, and sustained. A key expectation is that the funded work will not operate in isolation; CDC highlights coordination across partners and integration of activities to improve cost efficiency and overall impact, consistent with Global Health Initiative principles.
The main purpose of the program is capacity building across five closely related areas. First, it aims to improve how the public health workforce monitors and evaluates interventions, and how data are used for planning and decision-making around health events and services. That means developing stronger skills and systems for collecting reliable data, analyzing it, and using it to decide what to scale up, what to adjust, and how to allocate resources. Second, the program seeks to strengthen the delivery of high-quality laboratory services for HIV/AIDS, STI, and TB diagnosis. This focus typically implies improvements in laboratory procedures, quality management, workforce competency, and the ability to produce accurate, timely diagnostic results that can guide patient care and public health action. Third, it supports building and implementing surveillance at national, regional, and local levels, including both active surveillance (more proactive case-finding and data collection) and passive surveillance (routine reporting systems). Strengthening surveillance helps public health authorities understand where infections are occurring, identify trends, detect outbreaks, and target interventions more effectively.
Fourth, the opportunity emphasizes translating existing data and available research into effective practices and sound policies that address public health issues at national, regional, or local levels. In other words, the workforce is expected not only to generate information, but also to turn that information into decisions: updated guidelines, improved programs, and policy changes that reflect evidence rather than habit. Fifth, the program calls for adapting and tailoring science-based interventions to fit real-world Dominican Republic contexts, recognizing that interventions proven effective elsewhere often need adjustments to local epidemiology, health system capacity, cultural considerations, and resource constraints. Together, these five goals point toward a comprehensive approach: improving the skills of people and the performance of systems so the country can better prevent, detect, and respond to HIV, STIs, and TB.
CDC also notes that grantees may be asked to participate in cross-cutting programmatic activities that promote broader health system and partnership goals. These include implementing a women- and girl-centered approach, which signals attention to gender-related barriers and risks and the need to design services and interventions that effectively reach and support women and girls. The opportunity also stresses increasing impact through strategic coordination and integration, meaning recipients should align with other national and partner efforts rather than duplicating work. Additionally, CDC highlights strengthening and leveraging multilateral organizations, global health partnerships, and private sector engagement, suggesting a preference for collaborative models that mobilize additional expertise, platforms, or resources. Another central theme is country ownership, with investments in country-led plans, indicating the work should align with Dominican Republic priorities and support local leadership. Sustainability is reinforced through investments in health systems, paired with improving metrics, monitoring, and evaluation, and promoting research, development, and innovation, all of which encourage continuous improvement and long-term capacity rather than short-lived project outputs.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which generally means CDC expects substantial involvement during implementation through technical guidance, collaboration, and oversight. The opportunity was posted February 25, 2010, with an application closing date of April 26, 2010, and it was archived May 26, 2010. The estimated total funding amount is $3,500,000, with an award ceiling of $500,000 and an award floor of $400,000. CDC anticipated making one award. The CFDA number listed is 93.067 (Global AIDS), and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the burden on applicants to provide non-federal funds.
Eligibility is broad and includes public and private nonprofit organizations, for-profit organizations (including small, minority, and women-owned businesses), universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and a range of government entities. It also includes tribal organizations and related entities, as well as non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities, reflecting the international nature of the work. State and local governments, including U.S. territories and freely associated states listed in the announcement, may apply, including through bona fide agents; if applying as a bona fide agent, documentation from the relevant government is required. The administering agency is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the notice provides a general contact line (770-488-2700) for applicants who have trouble accessing the full announcement.
