Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary funding opportunity titled "National Laboratory System Infrastructure Improvement Initiative in Uganda under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief" (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA PS09-9111). This opportunity is offered under the Global AIDS program area (CFDA 93.067) and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, meaning the CDC would typically expect to have substantial involvement with the recipient during implementation compared with a standard grant.
The main goal of the initiative is to strengthen Uganda's national laboratory network so it can reliably support core HIV and related infectious disease services across the health system. In practical terms, the program is focused on improving the country-level laboratory infrastructure and capacity needed to deliver HIV testing and counseling support, treatment monitoring (for example, laboratory monitoring associated with antiretroviral therapy), tuberculosis screening and diagnosis, and other essential tests tied to diagnosing opportunistic infections. The emphasis is on building and improving the overall laboratory system that underpins clinical decision-making and public health response, not just supporting isolated testing activities.
Funding for this specific award was set at approximately USD 2,852,265, with both the award ceiling and floor listed at USD 2,852,265, indicating the CDC anticipated making one award at a fixed level rather than a range of award sizes. The announcement states that approximately one award was expected. While the record also lists an estimated total funding figure of USD 14,261,325, the opportunity itself describes the available amount for the anticipated single award as USD 2,852,265, which is the key figure for applicants evaluating this specific competition.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning any type of entity could apply, subject to any additional clarifications that might have appeared in the full announcement. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the cooperative agreement.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on March 31, 2009, and applications were due by May 28, 2009, with the deadline specified as 5:00 PM Eastern Time. The estimated funding decision and start timing was stated as prior to September 30, 2009. The listing was later archived on June 27, 2009. For applicants needing the complete details, the full announcement was available via Grants.gov, and the CDC provided technical access support through PGO TIMS at 770-488-2700.
