Opportunity Summary:
This Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) grant opportunity, funded under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), focuses on strengthening Ethiopia's health workforce by expanding and improving continuing education for healthcare providers. The core aim is to build human resources for health (HRH) by boosting the performance of clinicians and other practitioners and, in turn, improving the overall quality and efficiency of health service delivery. The program is centered specifically on comprehensive HIV education, meaning it is designed to ensure health workers have up-to-date, standardized knowledge and practical skills to deliver better HIV-related prevention, care, and treatment services within Ethiopia's health system.
A key feature of the opportunity is that the selected awardee is expected to build directly on prior work completed under a one-year contract held by Mayo Clinic/AVRAM Corporation. That earlier contract supported the development of an online HIV/AIDS curriculum series and its initial implementation in selected health facilities. In practical terms, this means applicants are not starting from scratch; they are expected to capitalize on that foundation, likely by refining the curriculum, expanding access to additional facilities and cadres of health workers, strengthening implementation support, and helping embed continuing education into routine workforce development. Because the mechanism is a cooperative agreement, CDC would typically remain substantially involved in the project through collaboration on technical direction, monitoring, and alignment with PEPFAR goals, rather than operating as a hands-off funder.
The funding opportunity is identified as CDC-RFA-GH11-1167, within the health activity category, and is associated with CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS). CDC anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1), indicating a competitive process aimed at selecting one main implementing partner rather than distributing funds across multiple grantees. The estimated total funding listed is $3,500,000, while the award ceiling is $500,000 and the award floor is $0; these figures suggest either planned multi-year support and/or multiple budget periods with a maximum amount per budget period, though the notice itself does not spell out the full project period structure. No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated, so applicants were not required to contribute additional funds to be eligible.
The eligibility criteria were intentionally broad, allowing a wide range of organizations to apply. Eligible applicants included public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (both with and without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and small/minority/women-owned businesses), research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and U.S. state and local governments or their bona fide agents. The opportunity also allowed non-U.S. (non-domestic) entities to apply, reflecting the international setting of the work in Ethiopia. For applicants applying as a bona fide agent on behalf of a state or local government, the notice required documentation in the form of a letter from the relevant government entity.
From a timeline perspective, the opportunity was posted on February 15, 2011, with an original and current closing date of April 15, 2011, and it was archived on May 15, 2011. The administering agency was the CDC, and applicants needing access to the full announcement were directed to contact the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), at 770-488-2700. Overall, the grant was structured to support one major partner to scale and institutionalize comprehensive HIV continuing education for Ethiopian health workers, leveraging an existing online curriculum platform and aiming for measurable improvements in workforce performance and service delivery quality.
