Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "National Laboratory Systems Strengthening for Equipment Maintenance and Calibration for WHO AFRO Stepwise Accreditation in the Republic of Ghana under the Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," was issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It sits under the broader PEPFAR framework and is tied to CDCs role in supporting countries to identify health system gaps and implement targeted technical and program support that aligns with each host countrys national strategies and partnership agreements. In practical terms, the focus here is laboratory systems in Ghana, specifically improving the maintenance and calibration of laboratory equipment as a foundation for achieving WHO AFRO stepwise laboratory accreditation, a structured pathway used in the African region to raise laboratory quality and move facilities toward recognized standards.
The opportunity was offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning recipients would not only receive funding but would also be expected to work closely with CDC in implementing activities, sharing progress, and meeting program expectations consistent with PEPFAR goals. The funding activity category is health, and the CFDA listing is 93.067 (Global AIDS), reinforcing that the underlying purpose is to strengthen systems that support HIV related testing, monitoring, and broader public health laboratory functions that are essential to effective HIV prevention, care, and treatment programs.
Financially, CDC anticipated making up to two awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $900,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between an award floor of $150,000 and an award ceiling of $300,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute a set amount of non federal funds to be considered eligible, which can be important for organizations operating in resource constrained environments.
Eligibility was intentionally broad and included a wide range of potential applicants across the nonprofit, private, academic, governmental, and international space. Eligible applicants included public and private nonprofit organizations, for profit organizations (including small and minority or women owned businesses), universities, colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community based and faith based organizations, and state or local governments and their bona fide agents. The listing also included tribal governments and tribal organizations, as well as non domestic (non U.S.) entities and other specified categories. For applicants applying as a bona fide agent on behalf of a state or local government, the announcement required documentation in the form of a letter confirming that status to be attached in the grants.gov submission.
Timing details indicate the notice was posted on January 15, 2010, with the original and final closing date both set for March 16, 2010, and an archive date of April 15, 2010. The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA PS10 1071, which applicants would use to locate the full announcement and ensure they were responding to the correct solicitation.
Overall, the core intent of the award was to build sustainable laboratory capacity in Ghana by improving the reliability and performance of laboratory equipment through better maintenance and calibration systems, which directly supports quality management and accreditation readiness under the WHO AFRO stepwise approach. By strengthening these operational and quality assurance foundations, the program would help laboratories generate more accurate and consistent results, improving clinical decision making and public health surveillance tied to HIV and other priority diseases. For technical or access issues related to obtaining the full announcement, the notice provided a CDC grants contact point via PGO TIMS grants, with a phone number (770-488-2700) and a general email contact referenced in the announcement.
