Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) through its Procurement and Grants Office, focuses on expanding Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC) services as an HIV prevention strategy in the Republic of Kenya under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The central aim is to help the Government of Kenya increase access to safe, voluntary circumcision services, particularly in regions where male circumcision rates are low. By supporting service delivery and related program needs, the program is designed to reduce HIV transmission risk at the population level while emphasizing safety, informed consent, and voluntariness.
The funding opportunity is listed as CDC RFA PS09-983 and is categorized as a discretionary grant made through a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expects to have substantial involvement with awardees during implementation (for example, collaborating on technical approaches, monitoring, or program refinement). The activity category is health, and the CFDA number is 93.067 (Global AIDS). The estimated total funding amount shown in the source data is 20,000,000, with individual awards ranging from a floor of 100,000 up to a ceiling of 2,000,000. The synopsis notes that approximately 2,000,000 would be available to fund about two awards, while the data field for expected awards lists 3, which suggests the final number of awards could depend on applicant quality, budget negotiations, or program priorities described in the full announcement.
In practical terms, the opportunity is centered on ensuring VMMC services are delivered safely and consistently, which generally involves clinical service provision and the systems that make those services reliable. For VMMC scale-up, that commonly includes training and supervision of providers, maintaining quality assurance and infection prevention standards, ensuring adequate supplies and surgical commodities, strengthening referral and follow-up systems, and integrating HIV prevention counseling and testing services as appropriate within national guidelines. Because the target areas are regions with low circumcision prevalence, the work often also requires community engagement and demand creation that is ethical and non-coercive, so that uptake is truly voluntary and based on informed decision-making.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity as long as it meets any additional eligibility conditions described in the full text of the announcement. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers barriers for applicants that might not have additional funds to contribute. The opportunity was posted and created on March 30, 2009, with an original and current closing date of May 28, 2009. Applications were due by 5:00 pm Eastern Time on the closing date. The archive date is June 27, 2009, indicating the opportunity is no longer open, and the estimated funding date was stated as prior to September 30, 2009.
Applicants were directed to consult the full announcement on Grants.gov for complete program details, requirements, and expectations. For access issues, the listed point of contact was PGO TIMS at 770-488-2700, with a general email contact referenced but not fully provided in the source text.
