Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, listed as CDC RFA PS09-995, was a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement released under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) to strengthen Barbados' national HIV response. The announcement focused on building the Government of Barbados' capacity to expand and better coordinate HIV prevention efforts while also improving strategic information systems, meaning the data collection, analysis, and reporting functions that support decision-making in public health programs. The overall intent was to help Barbados more fully implement its national goal of scaling up and strengthening HIV prevention, care, treatment, and related support services, with an emphasis on coordinated programming and the information infrastructure needed to guide and evaluate those programs.
The funding structure was straightforward and narrowly targeted. CDC expected to make approximately one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $350,000. The award ceiling and floor were both set at $350,000, indicating a single fixed-size award rather than a range of possible budgets. The funding instrument type was a cooperative agreement, which generally signals that CDC anticipated substantial involvement during the project period, such as collaboration on technical approaches, monitoring, reporting expectations, and alignment with PEPFAR objectives, rather than simply issuing funds with minimal federal engagement as in some grant mechanisms.
Eligibility was restricted to a single applicant: the Barbados Ministry of Health. In other words, this was not an open competition among universities, NGOs, or other entities; it was designed as direct support to the national health authority responsible for the HIV program. The opportunity was categorized as discretionary funding, with the activity category listed under health, and it fell under CFDA number 93.067 (Global AIDS). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the Ministry of Health was not required to contribute a set amount of non-federal funds to receive the award.
In terms of timing and administrative details, the opportunity was posted on April 14, 2009, with an application deadline of May 29, 2009. The estimated award date was noted as prior to September 30, 2009. While the CDC funding opportunities page listed the title, applicants were directed to consult the full announcement on Grants.gov for complete program requirements, technical expectations, and submission instructions. For access issues, CDC's Procurement and Grants Office provided a contact point through the PGOTIM office and a phone number for assistance.
At a practical level, the grant's emphasis on "coordinated HIV prevention" and "strategic information programs" suggests support for strengthening how national HIV activities are planned, aligned across stakeholders, and guided by reliable data. That can include improving surveillance and routine program monitoring, enhancing data quality and reporting systems, and ensuring that prevention, care, and treatment activities are linked in a coherent national strategy. The central theme is capacity building within government systems so that Barbados could more effectively scale services and track progress toward national HIV goals under the broader PEPFAR framework.
