Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Provision of the Basic Care Package in the Republic of Uganda under the President s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," is a CDC-funded cooperative agreement focused on strengthening HIV care in Uganda by ensuring that people living with HIV can consistently access a standardized set of low-cost, high-impact prevention and wellness supplies. The program is built around the idea that people benefit from strong basic prevention support regardless of whether they are already receiving antiretroviral therapy (ARVs). The overall aim is to improve day-to-day health and resilience for HIV-positive individuals, reduce common causes of illness, and ultimately help people live longer and healthier lives while potentially delaying the point at which ART must be initiated.
At the center of the project is the Basic Care Package (BCP) developed and standardized jointly by CDC Uganda and the Uganda Ministry of Health. The package includes several core components intended to address frequent and preventable health threats faced by people living with HIV. First, it provides daily cotrimoxazole for prophylaxis, a widely used preventive antibiotic that helps reduce opportunistic infections. Second, it includes a safe water system paired with a supply of dilute chlorine solution, designed to prevent diarrheal diseases by improving household water safety and reducing exposure to waterborne pathogens. Third, it provides long-lasting insecticide-treated mosquito nets to prevent malaria, which can be especially dangerous for immunocompromised individuals. Finally, the package includes condoms and IEC materials (information, education, and communication materials) focused on "prevention with positives," meaning practical guidance and tools that help HIV-positive clients reduce transmission risk and support safer sexual health practices.
A key operational feature of the program is flexibility in how the package is delivered and replenished. Implementing organizations, or the HIV-positive clients they serve, are allowed to request and receive individual components of the BCP as needed rather than only receiving the full bundle in every situation. This matters for real-world implementation because clients may need refills of specific items (for example, additional chlorine solution or replacement nets) or may already have certain components and only need others. The grant description emphasizes that this standardized, preventive package is supported by field research showing that these kinds of low-cost interventions can measurably improve quality of life, prolong survival, and reduce illness, while also delaying the need to start ART in some cases by preventing infections and complications that accelerate disease progression.
In terms of funding and structure, this is a discretionary opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically means CDC expects substantial involvement in program direction, monitoring, and technical support compared with a traditional grant. The Funding Opportunity Number is CDC RFA PS10 1024, and it falls under CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS). The opportunity anticipated one award, with an estimated total funding amount of 15,500,000. The stated award ceiling and floor are both 3,100,000, indicating the expected annual or budget-period award amount is fixed at that level for the recipient, even though the overall estimated total funding suggests a multi-year project period or aggregated support across project years. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for applicants that may not be able to contribute additional non-federal funds.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of organizational types, reflecting the reality that large-scale health commodity distribution and community-level HIV support can be led by many different partners. Eligible applicants include public and private nonprofit organizations, for-profit organizations, small and minority or women-owned businesses, universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and government entities. The eligibility list also includes federally recognized tribal organizations and related tribal public health entities, as well as state and local governments and their bona fide agents, with specific documentation requirements for bona fide agent applications. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities are also eligible, which is particularly relevant for implementation in Uganda where local or international organizations operating in-country may apply.
The timeline reflects a 2010 funding cycle: the opportunity was posted on Feb 18, 2010, with an application closing date of Apr 19, 2010, and an archive date of May 19, 2010. The administering agency is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the notice provided a grants contact point through PGO TIMS Grants (phone 770-488-2700) and a general email contact, indicating CDC support for applicant questions during the submission period.
Overall, the opportunity is designed to scale the delivery of a proven preventive care bundle for people living with HIV in Uganda, targeting major, preventable causes of sickness such as opportunistic infections, diarrheal disease, and malaria, while also supporting HIV prevention counseling and tools. The emphasis on standardized components, refill flexibility, and evidence-backed impact signals a practical, implementation-oriented program intended to produce measurable improvements in health outcomes for HIV-positive clients across Uganda under the PEPFAR platform.
