Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Institutional Strengthening to Improve Quality of Health Care Services in Haiti Through Well Trained Health Care Professional" under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), is a CDC-funded cooperative agreement designed to strengthen Haiti's health care workforce and the quality of clinical services through structured, supported postgraduate training. The core idea is capacity building: improving patient care over the long term by investing in clinical training institutions and the environments where new clinicians learn, with a particular emphasis on HIV services and related laboratory capacity. Rather than functioning as a one-time purchase of services, the cooperative agreement structure signals that CDC expected to remain actively involved through technical assistance, oversight, and ongoing collaboration during implementation.
The program's stated purpose is to provide financial support, technical assistance, and continuing support to two linked training pillars in Haiti. The first is Hospital Saint Francois de Salles (HSFS), described as a center for HIV care and medical laboratory services, with the specific intent of strengthening it to serve as a teaching hospital. This implies investment in the hospital's ability to host trainees, deliver high-quality clinical mentorship, and maintain reliable service delivery while training occurs. The second pillar is a postgraduate training program at the University of Notre Dame d'Haiti (UNDH). Taken together, the opportunity aims to reinforce the connection between academic training and real-world clinical practice by ensuring that postgraduate trainees can be educated in a clinical setting capable of modeling strong HIV care and laboratory practices.
Administratively, the opportunity was issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a discretionary funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC-RFA-GH11-11100) in the health category. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC anticipated substantial programmatic involvement such as advising on program design, monitoring performance, supporting quality improvement approaches, and helping ensure alignment with PEPFAR priorities. The CFDA number listed is 93.067 (Global AIDS), placing the funding squarely within the U.S. government framework for international HIV/AIDS programming. The total estimated funding amount was 30,000,000, with an expectation of three awards, suggesting that CDC planned to support multiple implementing partners or multiple complementary projects under the same umbrella goal. No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated, meaning applicants were not required to contribute a defined amount of non-federal funds as a condition of award.
The eligibility language is intentionally broad, reflecting the range of organizations that might be able to implement workforce and institutional strengthening activities. Eligible applicants included nonprofit organizations (with or without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (including small, minority-, and women-owned businesses), universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based organizations, and faith-based organizations. It also allowed for U.S. state, local, and territorial governments and their bona fide agents, as well as federally recognized or state recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments. Importantly for an international health opportunity focused on Haiti, non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities were explicitly included as eligible, which would enable Haitian institutions or Haiti-based partners to apply directly if they met the requirements. For applicants proposing to apply as a bona fide agent on behalf of a state or local government, the notice required formal documentation (a letter from the relevant government) to be submitted with the application.
In practical terms, the program is best understood as an institutional strengthening and clinical education initiative linked to HIV service delivery. Strengthening a teaching hospital typically involves improvements that make training feasible and safe while also enhancing the quality of care for patients, such as building clinical supervision capacity, reinforcing infection control and quality assurance processes, supporting reliable laboratory systems, standardizing clinical protocols, and ensuring that service delivery can handle the additional demands of being a training site. Strengthening a postgraduate program at a university commonly implies curriculum support, faculty development, structured clinical rotations, mentorship models, performance evaluation systems, and coordination between the university and clinical training sites. Because the hospital identified is an HIV and laboratory center, the activities would logically align with PEPFAR-supported priorities such as improving HIV diagnosis and treatment quality, laboratory quality systems, and the readiness of health professionals to deliver evidence-based HIV care in resource-constrained settings.
The opportunity timeline shows it was posted on February 14, 2011, with an original and current closing date of April 7, 2011, and an archive date of May 7, 2011, indicating it is no longer active and was a time-limited competition. For applicants at the time, the notice directed users to the "Full Announcement" for complete details, and provided a CDC Procurement and Grants Office contact (Technical Information Management Section) for assistance accessing the full announcement. Overall, the grant can be summarized as a CDC/PEPFAR investment in Haiti's clinical training infrastructure, specifically centered on HSFS as a teaching hospital and UNDH as the academic home for postgraduate training, with the broader goal of improving health care service quality through a better trained workforce and stronger institutions supporting HIV care and laboratory services.
