Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under PEPFAR, focuses on building Guyana's long-term ability to deliver high-quality HIV care and treatment by strengthening the country s health workforce pipeline. The core idea is to invest in public university-based medical education and postgraduate training so Guyana can produce and retain more well-trained clinicians locally, rather than relying heavily on external training pathways. By developing local training capacity, the program directly supports PEPFAR II priorities, especially increasing local ownership, leadership, and management of the national HIV/AIDS response.
The program is designed around improving both the quality and the practical readiness of graduates entering the health system. Key supported activities include revising and updating medical and postgraduate curricula, developing and strengthening faculty through targeted training and support, and improving the supervision and structure of clinical mentoring programs and practicums. The opportunity also allows for limited purchases that directly support training, such as teaching and reference materials and equipment used in clinical practicums, with the clear emphasis on hands-on clinical capacity building in HIV care and treatment.
This initiative is meant to fit into Guyana s broader Human Resources for Health strategy, particularly efforts to integrate HIV services into primary care and to expand training across multiple categories of health workers who contribute to HIV service delivery. While the focus is on medical education and postgraduate training, the expected spillover benefit is a stronger, more HIV-competent health workforce overall. A specific institutional aim is to increase the infectious disease training capacity of the Health Sciences Faculty at the University of Guyana, improving infectious disease education not just for medical trainees but for all health science students.
From an administrative standpoint, this was a discretionary funding opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the CDC would expect to have substantial involvement with the awardee during implementation (typical of cooperative agreements, often including technical collaboration, monitoring, and joint planning). The opportunity was listed under CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS). The funding opportunity number was CDC-RFA-GH11-1182, originally posted February 25, 2011, with an application closing date of April 26, 2011, and an archive date of May 26, 2011, indicating it is no longer open.
Funding details indicate an estimated total program funding of $2,500,000, with an anticipated single award. The award floor was $250,000 and the ceiling was $500,000. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Eligible applicants were broad and included U.S. and non-U.S. entities such as public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (with or without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and small, minority, and women-owned businesses), hospitals, research institutions, community-based and faith-based organizations, and state and local governments. Tribal governments (federally or state recognized) were also eligible. The announcement also notes that a state or local government may apply through a bona fide agent, but that status requires formal documentation (a letter from the relevant government entity) to be submitted with the application.
For support accessing full materials at the time, the posting directed applicants to the Full Announcement and provided a CDC Procurement and Grants Office contact through the Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) at 770-488-2700.
