Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Increasing The Capacity Of The Government Of The Barbados To Expand Coordinated HIV Prevention, Strategic Information, And Laboratory Programs Under the Presidents Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement designed to strengthen Barbados ability to carry out and sustain a more comprehensive national HIV response. The core intent is capacity building for the Government of Barbados so it can more fully implement its national goals to scale up HIV prevention services, improve the systems used to track and understand the epidemic (strategic information), and strengthen laboratory capacity and other related support functions that underpin effective HIV programming. The work is positioned as an expansion of HIV/AIDS activities conducted in partnership with the Barbados Ministry of Health, which has the official mandate to coordinate the health sector response to the HIV epidemic in the country.
The program emphasizes coordinated, national-level strengthening rather than a narrow standalone project. It targets multiple connected pillars of the HIV response, including prevention, care and treatment support, strategic information (which typically covers surveillance, monitoring and evaluation, data quality systems, and use of data for decision-making), and laboratory services (commonly including HIV testing systems, quality assurance, laboratory management, and the capacity needed to support clinical care and public health monitoring). By focusing on these areas together, the opportunity aims to improve how well Barbados plans, delivers, measures, and continuously improves HIV services, with the Ministry of Health serving as the central coordinating body.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity in the health category and uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, meaning CDC would generally expect to have substantial involvement in the work beyond what is typical for a standard grant, such as technical collaboration, joint planning, or ongoing programmatic input. The funding is tied to CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS), aligning it with the broader PEPFAR framework for strengthening HIV responses internationally.
A key feature of this notice is that it is explicitly not a request for applications and not a fully open, competitive solicitation. Instead, it serves as a public notice of CDC intention to fund the described activities without full and open competition. That distinction matters because it indicates the agency had a specific award approach in mind (often a continuation, a directed award, or a situation where only one entity is considered appropriately positioned to carry out the work). The eligibility field points generally to "Others" with clarification in the full announcement, but the text of the notice makes clear that this was not structured as an open competition for new applicants.
In terms of scale, the opportunity projected one award in total. The estimated total funding amount listed is 1,170,000, with an award ceiling of 590,000 and no stated minimum award floor (0). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The original posting date was January 20, 2012, with an original closing date of March 21, 2012, later reflected with a current closing date of May 14, 2012. The archive date is June 13, 2012, indicating the opportunity is historical and no longer active.
For access and support, the notice directs readers to the "Full Announcement" section rather than relying on an active external link, and it provides a CDC Procurement and Grants Office contact through the Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) at 770-488-2700 for help retrieving the full announcement electronically. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a PEPFAR-aligned CDC cooperative agreement intended to expand and strengthen Barbados coordinated HIV prevention, data and surveillance capacity, laboratory systems, and related program supports through close partnership with the Ministry of Health.
