Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary funding opportunity focused on expanding basic Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) services in Cameroon under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The announcement is identified as CDC RFA PS09-9109 and uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which typically means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the project’s direction and implementation rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal engagement. The overall intent is to support practical, on-the-ground scale-up of PMTCT activities, with a clear geographic emphasis on the Northwest, Southwest, and Littoral regions, as well as the city of Yaounde, reflecting priority areas for improving maternal HIV services and reducing infant HIV infections.
The program planned to make approximately $300,000 available to support about one award, signaling a single, relatively focused project rather than multiple competing subprojects. The funding range was structured with an award floor of $250,000 and a ceiling of $350,000, providing some flexibility for applicants to propose a budget that fits the scope of work while staying within the CDC’s expectations. The funding activity category is Health, and the opportunity is associated with CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS), which ties it directly to broader U.S. global HIV/AIDS objectives and reporting frameworks. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
In terms of timing and administrative details, the opportunity was posted and created on March 31, 2009, with an original and final application deadline of May 29, 2009. The listing indicates an estimated funding date prior to September 10, 2009, suggesting the CDC intended a relatively quick turnaround from application review to award issuance to keep pace with program needs. The archive date of June 28, 2009 indicates when the opportunity was formally closed out for public posting purposes. Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning the competition was broadly open to any type of entity, subject to any specific clarifications that may have been included in the full announcement’s eligibility section.
The core purpose of the award was to help accelerate the expansion of PMTCT services in the specified regions and in Yaounde. While the summary does not list detailed activities, PMTCT scale-up efforts commonly include strengthening HIV testing and counseling in antenatal care, improving linkage to antiretroviral prophylaxis or treatment for pregnant women living with HIV, supporting safe delivery and postpartum follow-up, promoting early infant diagnosis, and improving referral systems between maternal health, HIV care, and pediatric services. Because the mechanism is a cooperative agreement, the CDC likely anticipated active technical collaboration on implementation approaches, monitoring and evaluation, and alignment with national policies and PEPFAR strategies.
For applicants or stakeholders who had trouble obtaining the full announcement electronically, the notice provided a direct contact point at the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGOTIM) via phone at 770-488-2700, reinforcing that the complete program requirements, deliverables, and application instructions were contained in the full funding announcement rather than the brief forecast summary.
