Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Provision of Medical Male Circumcision (MMC) for HIV Prevention in the Republic of South Africa under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," is a CDC cooperative agreement designed to support and accelerate the delivery of medical male circumcision services as a proven HIV prevention strategy in South Africa. The program focuses on helping the Government of the Republic of South Africa ensure MMC service availability in selected provinces, while also strengthening the quality, safety, and scale of those services. A central expectation is that MMC will not be delivered as a standalone surgical intervention, but rather packaged within comprehensive HIV prevention, care, and treatment services so clients receive broader, integrated health support alongside circumcision.
The overall purpose is threefold. First, it aims to bolster South Africa's ability to provide MMC services where they are most needed, aligning implementation with government priorities and provincial service delivery realities. Second, it seeks to expand MMC coverage by implementing and scaling up high-quality, safe circumcision services, which typically implies building clinical capacity, ensuring adherence to surgical and infection prevention standards, and putting in place systems that can handle high client volume without sacrificing safety. Third, it emphasizes integration, meaning MMC programs supported under this award are expected to connect clients to complementary HIV services such as HIV testing and counseling, prevention education, referrals for treatment when appropriate, and other related sexual and reproductive health services that make MMC more effective as part of a combination prevention approach.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH11 1150, within the health funding activity category. The assistance mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial CDC involvement in programmatic oversight, coordination, and technical guidance compared to a standard grant. The CFDA listing is 93.067 (Global AIDS), reflecting its placement within the broader U.S. government HIV response framework under PEPFAR. The program did not require cost sharing or matching, lowering a common barrier to participation for organizations that may not have unrestricted funds to contribute.
In terms of scale, the estimated total funding amount associated with this opportunity was 60,000,000, with an award ceiling of 3,000,000 and an award floor of 100,000, and an anticipated 15 awards. These figures suggest a portfolio approach where multiple implementers may be funded to operate in different geographic areas, populations, or service delivery models, with award sizes varying based on proposed scope, capacity, and provincial needs. The timeline indicates it was time-limited: posted February 18, 2011, created March 25, 2011, with an application closing date of April 19, 2011, and an archive date of May 19, 2011, meaning it is no longer open for applications and remains relevant mainly for historical reference, program learning, or understanding past CDC and PEPFAR implementation priorities.
Eligibility was broad and included many organization types capable of delivering large-scale public health programs. Eligible applicants included U.S. and non-U.S. entities, nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations (including small, minority-owned, and women-owned businesses), universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based organizations, and faith-based organizations. Government entities were also eligible, including state and local governments and their bona fide agents, as well as federally recognized or state recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments. For applicants applying as a bona fide agent of a state or local government, the announcement required documentation in the form of a letter from the relevant government authority, submitted with other attachment forms through grants.gov. This wide eligibility range reflects the practical reality that MMC scale-up often depends on partnerships across public health departments, clinical providers, NGOs, and community organizations, especially when demand creation, clinical service delivery, and linkage to HIV services must work together.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was the CDC Procurement and Grants Office, Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), reachable by phone at 770-488-2700. The notice also referenced a "Full Announcement" accessible through the listing page rather than a direct active link, which is common in archived federal opportunity postings.
Taken together, the opportunity reflects a large, multi-award CDC-supported effort under PEPFAR to expand medical male circumcision services in South Africa, with a clear emphasis on safe clinical delivery, rapid scale-up, and integration into a broader continuum of HIV prevention and care services rather than treating MMC as an isolated intervention.
