Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Scaling up Integrated, Effective and Sustainable Services for the Prevention of Mother to Child HIV Transmission (PMTCT) in the Republic of Uganda under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," was issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a discretionary cooperative agreement program. Its central aim is to help the Government of Uganda expand PMTCT services in a way that increases coverage and quality while ensuring those services are comprehensive, effective, and fully integrated into Uganda's existing national health system rather than operating as stand-alone or parallel programs. In practical terms, the program is designed to strengthen routine health service delivery so that HIV prevention, testing, treatment, and follow-up for pregnant and breastfeeding women, their infants, and families are delivered consistently through standard maternal, newborn, and child health platforms.
The program emphasizes scale-up of high-quality PMTCT services, which generally implies increasing access to and uptake of key interventions along the full continuum of care. That continuum typically includes HIV testing and counseling in antenatal care, rapid linkage to antiretroviral therapy for women living with HIV, safe labor and delivery practices, support for adherence and retention, infant prophylaxis and early infant diagnosis, and continued follow-up during breastfeeding. The focus on being "integrated" and "sustainable" signals that CDC and PEPFAR intended awardees to work closely with Uganda's national and subnational health structures, strengthening routine systems (such as clinical workflows, staffing models, supply chain reliability, laboratory networks, and health information systems) so that PMTCT performance improves and can be maintained over time through the public sector.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC anticipated substantial programmatic involvement beyond standard grant monitoring. Cooperative agreements often require close coordination with the funder on planning, technical approaches, performance monitoring, and alignment with national strategies. In this case, the opportunity is explicitly framed as supporting the Government of Uganda, so applicants would be expected to align activities with national HIV/AIDS and maternal and child health priorities, coordinate with Ministry of Health counterparts, and contribute to harmonized service delivery rather than creating duplicative systems.
Funding for the opportunity was substantial, with an estimated total of $30,000,000 and an expectation of three awards. Individual award amounts were constrained by an award ceiling of $3,500,000 and an award floor of $846,650, indicating CDC anticipated a small number of sizable, multi-site implementing partners rather than many small projects. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally lowers barriers to participation for organizations that may not have the ability to contribute additional non-federal funds.
Eligibility was broad and inclusive, covering a wide range of domestic and non-domestic entities. Eligible applicants included public and private nonprofit organizations, for-profit organizations (including small, minority, and women-owned businesses), universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and multiple types of U.S. governmental entities and their political subdivisions. The announcement also permitted non-U.S. (non-domestic) entities to apply, which is particularly relevant for implementation in Uganda. The eligibility list additionally included several categories of tribal governments and tribal organizations. For entities applying as a bona fide agent of a state or local government, the notice required a formal letter documenting that status to be submitted with the application package.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on March 8, 2010, created on March 11, 2010, and closed on May 10, 2010, with an archive date of June 9, 2010. The CFDA number associated with the program was 93.067 (Global AIDS), placing it squarely within the U.S. government global HIV/AIDS funding framework under PEPFAR. The activity category was health, reflecting its service-delivery and public health system strengthening orientation. For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement, CDC provided a grants office contact point through PGO TIMS (phone 770-488-2700) and a general email address reference.
Overall, the opportunity can be understood as a CDC/PEPFAR investment intended to accelerate Uganda's progress toward eliminating mother-to-child transmission of HIV by expanding and improving PMTCT services at scale, embedding those services within routine maternal and child health care, and building durable capacity in national systems so that gains in prevention, treatment, and infant outcomes persist beyond the period of external support.
