Opportunity Summary:

This grant opportunity (CDC RFA PS10-1018) is a PEPFAR-supported cooperative agreement from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention focused on sustaining and expanding comprehensive, community-based HIV/AIDS services in the Republic of Uganda. The core idea is to fund organizations that can deliver a full package of HIV services by combining health facility-based care with strong community-level programming, so services reach people where they live while communities themselves become more engaged, informed, and able to take ownership of the response over time. The announcement explicitly builds on prior PEPFAR investments under an earlier cooperative agreement aimed at expanding HIV/AIDS care, treatment, and training in Uganda, and it emphasizes continuity of care for an existing cohort of clients already receiving HIV-related treatment, support, and clinical services.

The program’s service delivery approach centers on linking clinics and communities into one coordinated system rather than treating them as separate tracks. In practice, that means a successful applicant would be expected to organize HIV prevention, care, and treatment support so that individuals can enter services through multiple entry points (community outreach, referrals, and facilities), remain in care, and receive the wraparound support needed for long-term adherence and improved health outcomes. The community component is not framed as optional outreach; it is positioned as essential for maximizing coverage across entire communities and for creating meaningful community participation that goes beyond awareness activities. The title and description also highlight capacity building of indigenous organizations, signaling that strengthening local Ugandan partners, systems, and implementing capacity is a central expectation alongside direct service delivery.

Administratively, this is a discretionary award using the cooperative agreement funding instrument, which typically implies substantial involvement and partnership with CDC during implementation (for example, coordination on technical approaches, reporting, monitoring, and program improvements). The activity category is health, and the CFDA listing is 93.067 (Global AIDS). The opportunity anticipated making two awards, with an estimated total funding level of $15,000,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $1,000,000 (floor) and $3,000,000 (ceiling), indicating mid-to-large scale service delivery and systems support rather than a small pilot.

The eligibility criteria are broad and include a wide range of entity types: public and private nonprofit organizations, for-profit organizations (including small, minority-, and women-owned businesses), universities, colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based organizations, and faith-based organizations. Eligibility also extends to government entities (state and local governments or their bona fide agents, including U.S. territories and certain freely associated states) as well as non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities, which is relevant given the Uganda focus and the emphasis on indigenous capacity building. Applicants applying as a bona fide agent of a state or local government were required to provide documentation in the form of a letter confirming that status, submitted as an attachment through Grants.gov.

Key dates for the announcement show it was posted and created on February 11, 2010, with an original closing date of April 12, 2010, later reflected as April 13, 2010, and an archive date of May 12, 2010. The sponsoring agency is CDC, and applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement were directed to contact PGO TIMS Grants at 770-488-2700 using the provided general email contact. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a continuation and scaling mechanism within PEPFAR’s Uganda portfolio, designed to keep current patients from falling out of care while strengthening community-driven delivery models and reinforcing local organizational capacity to sustain HIV/AIDS services.
