Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Provision of Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC) for HIV Prevention in the Republic of Kenya under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement focused on supporting HIV prevention activities in Kenya through the scale-up and continuation of VMMC services. The opportunity sits within the broader PEPFAR framework and is tied to the public health evidence that voluntary medical male circumcision can reduce the risk of female-to-male sexual transmission of HIV when delivered as part of a comprehensive HIV prevention package. The program is categorized as a health activity and is associated with CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS), signaling its alignment with U.S. government global HIV/AIDS assistance programming.
The announcement is identified by Funding Opportunity Number "CDC RFA PS09 98304CONT12" and is explicitly labeled as a continuation. In practical terms, that means it is not an open competition intended for new applicants; it is designed to continue funding for an existing recipient or recipients that were previously awarded under the original announcement "PS09 983." The eligibility language reinforces this point by stating that the award will be a continuation of funds intended only for grantees previously funded under that earlier opportunity. The "Eligible Applicants" field is listed as "Others (see text...)," but the controlling eligibility condition is the continuation-only restriction, which effectively narrows eligibility to current or prior grantees under the specified mechanism.
The instrument type is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. That typically indicates substantial involvement by CDC in the execution of the project, such as close collaboration on planning, implementation approaches, monitoring and evaluation, and adherence to PEPFAR and CDC technical guidance. While the short description in the source data repeats the title and does not list detailed program requirements, the nature of a VMMC cooperative agreement under PEPFAR generally implies support for service delivery systems, quality assurance, demand creation strategies that remain ethical and voluntary, training and supervision of clinical teams, infection prevention and control, commodity and supply chain coordination, data reporting, and linkage to other HIV prevention and care services. In Kenya, these activities commonly focus on delivering safe circumcision services in priority geographic areas and populations with elevated HIV incidence, while ensuring that services are integrated with HIV testing services, counseling, condom promotion, sexually transmitted infection screening and management, and referral pathways for HIV treatment when needed.
The opportunity anticipated a single award ("ExpectedAwards: 1"), suggesting CDC intended to fund one main implementing partner to continue or complete a defined scope of work, potentially operating across multiple sites or in coordination with national and county-level health structures. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute a specified portion of project costs as a condition of award. The posting and creation date are both February 12, 2012, with an original and current closing date of April 2, 2012, and an archive date of May 2, 2012. Those dates indicate the window during which the continuation application materials were due and when the opportunity was later archived in the system, consistent with the cycle of a continuation action.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement, CDC provided a point of contact through "CDC PGOTIMS" with a phone number (770-488-2700) and email (pgotim@cdc.gov). Overall, the announcement reflects a targeted continuation funding action by CDC under PEPFAR to sustain VMMC implementation in Kenya, with the overarching public health goal of reducing new HIV infections through an evidence-based biomedical intervention delivered in a voluntary, safe, and quality-assured manner within comprehensive HIV prevention services.
