Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS10-10154) focused on building stronger public health capacity in Vietnam by partnering with the Hanoi School of Public Health (HSPH). The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which means CDC would not simply provide funds and step back; instead, CDC would remain actively involved with the recipient in planning, technical input, and oversight as the work is carried out. The activity falls under the health category and is explicitly tied to the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), with the CFDA number listed as 93.067 (Global AIDS). Even though the broader PEPFAR framing is HIV-related, the emphasis here is on strengthening the underlying systems and workforce that make sustained HIV and broader public health responses possible.
The core purpose of the announcement is to help the Government of Vietnam develop local, sustainable capacity within HSPH to improve three connected areas: health workforce development, health systems strengthening, and public health informatics. In practical terms, this type of grant is meant to reinforce the people, institutions, and data systems that support effective public health programs. Health workforce development generally implies improving the training pipeline and professional development of public health workers, strengthening academic and practical training programs, and ensuring that the workforce has the competencies needed for prevention, surveillance, program management, and evaluation. Health systems strengthening typically points to improving how services and programs are organized and managed, how resources are allocated, how quality is monitored, and how the system can consistently deliver results at scale. Public health informatics suggests building the ability to collect, manage, analyze, and use health data for decision-making, including surveillance and program monitoring, which is especially important for HIV/AIDS programs supported by PEPFAR and for broader health security.
Funding for fiscal year 2010 was described as approximately 800,000 dollars to support a single award, indicating a focused, single-recipient partnership rather than a competitive multi-award program. The listing also provides overall funding parameters: an estimated total funding amount of 10,000,000 dollars, with an award ceiling of 1,000,000 dollars and an award floor of 500,000 dollars. These figures suggest the opportunity may have been designed with the potential for multi-year support or additional funding increments over time, even though the immediate FY2010 expectation was one award around the stated amount. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is highly specific. While the general eligibility category is labeled "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the announcement’s eligibility information identifies the Hanoi School of Public Health at 139 Giang Vo Street, Hanoi, Vietnam, indicating that this opportunity was effectively intended for HSPH as the primary or sole eligible applicant. A named institutional contact is provided (Dr. Le Vu Anh, lva@hsph.edu.vn, fax 84 4 626 62491), reinforcing that the partnership is anchored directly with HSPH rather than being broadly open to universities or NGOs worldwide.
Key timeline details show the opportunity was posted January 26, 2010, with an original closing date of March 29, 2010, later extended to a current closing date of September 14, 2010. The archive date is October 14, 2010, meaning the listing would be retired after that point. The estimated funding date was March 2010, which aligns with the original early closing window and suggests CDC intended to move quickly once applications were received and reviewed, at least under the initial schedule.
For applicants or interested parties who could not access the full announcement electronically via Grants.gov, CDC provided a general help contact through PGO TIMS (phone 770 488 2700) and a general email field (though the email address itself is not included in the source text provided). Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted CDC-PEPFAR investment to strengthen Vietnam’s long-term public health capacity by institutionalizing workforce training, improving how health programs and systems function, and modernizing the informatics capabilities needed to track epidemics, manage programs, and use data to guide policy and operations.
