Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a continuation cooperative agreement issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS-CDC), through its Center for Global Health, under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). Titled "Strengthening Human Resources for Health through Increased Capacity of the Ethiopian Medical Association in the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia," it focuses on reinforcing Ethiopia's health workforce by building the institutional capacity of the Ethiopian Medical Association (EMA). The overall aim is to help ensure Ethiopia has a stronger, better supported physician workforce and related health system capabilities that can contribute to sustained HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment outcomes within broader public health priorities.
The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH12-121705CONT16 and is categorized as continuation funding, meaning it is intended to support ongoing work rather than launch a brand-new competitive program. The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by CDC during implementation, such as technical guidance, collaborative planning, performance monitoring, and alignment with PEPFAR strategies and country priorities. The activity category is health, and it is associated with CFDA number 93.067, which corresponds to CDC's global health-related assistance programs.
Only one award was expected, signaling that this announcement was likely designed for a specific existing recipient or a very limited pool of eligible entities, rather than a broad competition. Eligibility is listed as "Others," with clarification referenced in an additional eligibility section not included in the provided text; in similar continuation notices, this often means eligibility is restricted to the current awardee or to a narrowly defined organization type already engaged in the ongoing project. The original and current closing dates were both April 5, 2016, and the opportunity was created and posted on February 2, 2016, indicating a relatively short application or continuation review window.
Notably, the listed award ceiling is shown as 0, which commonly appears in records when the total funding amount is either determined through internal budgeting, negotiated based on continuation performance, or otherwise not publicly specified in the synopsis fields. In practice, continuation cooperative agreements frequently base future-year funding levels on available appropriations, demonstrated progress, and updated work plans agreed upon with the agency.
In summary, this CDC/PEPFAR continuation cooperative agreement centers on strengthening Ethiopia's human resources for health by increasing the operational and professional capacity of the Ethiopian Medical Association, with the broader public health intent of supporting a capable workforce that can sustain and improve HIV/AIDS program delivery and health system performance in Ethiopia.
