Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary grant funding 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)." The announcement is designed to support efforts in the Dominican Republic that build and strengthen the public health workforce so health workers can more effectively apply public health principles and methods in real-world practice, with an emphasis on laboratory services and the delivery of public health interventions aligned with global HIV/AIDS goals under PEPFAR. The funding mechanism for this opportunity is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement with the recipient during the project period, such as collaboration on technical direction, coordination, monitoring, or implementation support.
Financially, the opportunity anticipated funding for approximately one award. While the narrative description mentions that about $150,000 would be available for one award, the structured source data provides additional boundaries: an award ceiling of $150,000 and an award floor of $100,000. The total estimated funding listed for the opportunity is $750,000, but the intent described in the announcement and the expected number of awards indicate that the main outcome was a single funded project within the stated award range. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The funding is categorized under Health activities and is tied to CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS), reflecting its connection to HIV/AIDS-related global health efforts.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted on March 31, 2009, with a closing date of May 28, 2009. Applications were due by 5:00 pm Eastern Time on the closing date. The creation date in the source data is April 21, 2009, and the archive date is June 27, 2009, indicating the period during which the opportunity was actively available to applicants on the federal portal. The estimated funding date was stated as prior to September 30, 2009, which is consistent with end-of-fiscal-year timing for many federal awards.
Eligibility was listed as "unrestricted," meaning the competition was broadly open to a wide range of applicant types, subject to any clarifying language that may have appeared in the full announcement under an "Additional Information on Eligibility" section. In practical terms, that language can sometimes include country-specific requirements, partnership expectations, or applicant capacity standards, so applicants would have needed to review the full program announcement on Grants.gov for any limits or preferences not fully captured in the summary fields.
The core purpose of the program is workforce capacity building: improving the ability of health workers to use public health methods appropriately, particularly in the context of implementing and delivering laboratory services and other public health interventions in the Dominican Republic. In the PEPFAR setting, this kind of capacity strengthening commonly supports goals such as improving the quality and reach of HIV-related laboratory systems, strengthening public health practice and decision-making, and ensuring interventions are implemented effectively and consistently. The full announcement would typically provide details on required activities, expected outcomes, monitoring and evaluation expectations, and any coordination requirements with the Ministry of Health or in-country partners, but the summary information makes clear that the central focus is strengthening skills and systems so the workforce can carry out laboratory and intervention work using sound public health approaches.
For applicants or interested parties who could not access the full announcement electronically, the CDC provided contact support through PGO TIMS at (770) 488-2700, along with a general email contact referenced in the posting. The official listing and attachments were available through Grants.gov via the Additional Information link included in the opportunity record.
