Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Strengthening Infection Control and Prevention in Health Care Facilities in Zimbabwe under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," was issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a discretionary cooperative agreement. The central goal of the program is to support Zimbabwe's Ministry of Health and Child Welfare (MOHCW) to improve infection control and prevention practices across health care facilities nationwide. The focus is on reducing transmission of infectious diseases in clinical settings, explicitly including tuberculosis (TB), by strengthening protections for both patients and health care workers. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at improving how facilities prevent, identify, and control infections that can spread within hospitals and clinics, an issue that is especially important in high-burden HIV and TB contexts supported by PEPFAR.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally means the CDC would expect to have substantial involvement during implementation compared with a typical grant. Rather than simply providing funds and receiving reports, CDC program staff typically collaborate with the awardee on planning, monitoring, and technical guidance. The funding activity category is health, and the CFDA listing provided is 93.067 (Global AIDS), tying the work to broader PEPFAR-supported public health objectives. The notice anticipated a single award, indicating the intention to fund one main implementing partner to lead or coordinate the work at national scale.
Financially, the estimated total funding amount listed for the opportunity is $5,000,000. The announcement does not specify an award ceiling or floor (both shown as 0), which usually signals that applicants should rely on the full announcement for detailed budget expectations and that CDC may have wanted flexibility in final award size or structure. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of award, which can make participation more feasible for a wider range of organizations.
A broad range of applicants were eligible. Eligible entities included nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations (including small businesses and small, minority-, and women-owned businesses), universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and U.S. state and local governments or their bona fide agents. The eligibility list also explicitly included non-U.S. (non-domestic) entities, which is relevant given that the program is focused on Zimbabwe. Tribal governments and various U.S. territories and affiliated jurisdictions were also mentioned under the broader state and local government eligibility language. For applicants applying as a bona fide agent of a state or local government, the announcement required a letter documenting that status to be attached in the application package.
Key timing details show the opportunity was posted on February 16, 2011, created February 15, 2011, and had an application due date of April 18, 2011, with no change between the original and current closing dates. The archive date was May 18, 2011, meaning it is no longer an active solicitation. The funding opportunity number was CDC-RFA-GH11-1144, which would be used to locate the full announcement and any official amendments or application instructions from that period.
For applicants or interested parties who needed help accessing the full announcement at the time, CDC directed them to the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), with a phone contact at 770-488-2700. The listing notes that the "Additional Information" link provided was not active and instructed users to access the "Full Announcement" through the posting interface instead, suggesting that full programmatic requirements, implementation expectations, and application components were contained in the complete notice rather than in the brief synopsis.
