Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Pediatric ART, HIV and TB/HIV Care and Outreach Support in the Republic of Botswana under the President s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS09 929). The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning CDC expects to have substantial programmatic involvement alongside the recipient rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal interaction. The activity area is health, and the opportunity falls under CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS). The program is situated within PEPFAR, reflecting a focus on strengthening HIV services and related TB/HIV interventions in a high-burden setting.
The core purpose of the announcement is to identify a capable partner to work directly with the Government of Botswana to improve both the delivery and the long-term sustainability of high-quality pediatric antiretroviral therapy (ART) and TB/HIV services nationwide. The collaboration is explicitly designed to include key government counterparts: the Ministry of Health (MOH), the Ministry of Local Government (MLG), and the Ministry of Education (MOE). This signals that the work is intended to extend beyond clinical sites alone and reach into local governance structures and education-sector touchpoints that affect pediatric case finding, linkage to care, retention, adherence support, and broader outreach. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at supporting countrywide systems and service delivery approaches that ensure children living with HIV can be identified early, started on treatment, and supported over time, while also strengthening the integration and quality of TB/HIV services for children who are at elevated risk of tuberculosis.
Funding is intended to support approximately one award. The total estimated funding listed for the opportunity is 4,265,000, while the stated award ceiling and award floor are both 853,000, indicating an anticipated annual amount of 853,000 for the selected recipient, with the larger figure reflecting the multi-year projected total across the project period. No cost sharing or matching is required, which reduces barriers for eligible institutions that may not have access to non-federal funds to meet a match requirement. The estimated award date is prior to September 30, 2009, aligning with federal fiscal year timelines and suggesting the program was designed for relatively prompt start-up once the award decision was made.
Eligibility is targeted rather than open to all entity types. The announcement specifies that eligible applicants include universities, colleges, and university-based organizations, such as centers within or affiliated with universities or colleges, particularly institutions that have schools of public health or medicine. This eligibility framing suggests CDC is seeking an implementing partner with strong technical capacity in pediatric HIV care, TB/HIV integration, public health systems strengthening, training and mentorship, monitoring and evaluation, and the ability to coordinate across multiple government stakeholders. The work implied by the announcement likely requires both clinical expertise and program management capacity, including support for guidelines implementation, quality improvement approaches, and service delivery models that can be sustained within Botswana s public sector.
Key administrative dates and submission requirements are clearly laid out. The opportunity was posted on March 31, 2009, and the application deadline (original and current) was May 28, 2009. Applications were due by 5:00 pm Eastern Time on the closing date, a strict cutoff common to federal grant submissions. The archive date is June 27, 2009, indicating the opportunity was time-limited and subsequently moved to an archived status after the competition window closed. Applicants were directed to the full announcement on Grants.gov for complete programmatic and administrative details, and a CDC contact point was provided for assistance accessing the announcement electronically (PGO TIMS, phone 770-488-2700).
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a focused PEPFAR-supported cooperative agreement intended to bolster Botswana s national pediatric HIV treatment and TB/HIV service platform through a close partnership model with multiple ministries. The funding level and single-award design suggest CDC was looking for one lead institution to coordinate a coherent, nationwide package of technical assistance, service delivery strengthening, and outreach support, with an emphasis on sustainable improvements in quality and coverage for pediatric ART and TB/HIV care.
