Opportunity Summary:

This funding opportunity, titled "Strengthening Integrated HIV and Cholera Care, Treatment and Prevention Services Through Directly Observed Treatment Strategy in Haiti under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," was a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement aimed at maintaining and expanding HIV services in Haiti while integrating those services with broader primary care, prevention, and community support. The core intent was to keep indigenous (locally rooted) organizations in a strong delivery role so that HIV care and treatment would remain accessible and high quality in the Central Plateau and parts of the Artibonite departments. The program emphasis on a directly observed treatment strategy indicates a focus on structured approaches that improve adherence and follow-up for patients, which is especially important for chronic conditions like HIV and for responding to overlapping public health challenges such as cholera.

The opportunity was positioned within PEPFAR, reflecting a broader U.S. government goal of supporting HIV treatment scale-up, retention in care, and prevention services in high-need settings. In practical terms, the grant was designed to support service delivery models that do not treat HIV as a stand-alone program, but instead link clinical care (HIV diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, and management) with primary care services and community-based support. By calling out cholera in the title, the announcement signaled an intent to strengthen integrated responses in a period when Haiti faced significant cholera burden, encouraging health platforms that could address multiple urgent health needs through coordinated systems, staffing, referral pathways, and patient support mechanisms.

The award mechanism was a cooperative agreement, meaning CDC expected to have substantial involvement beyond simply issuing funds. Cooperative agreements typically include ongoing collaboration, technical assistance, and shared responsibility for implementation and performance monitoring. The funding activity category was Health, and it was listed under CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS), which aligns with HIV-focused global health programming. The estimated total funding amount for the opportunity was $50,000,000, with an expected number of awards of 1. The ceiling listed for an award was $10,000,000, with no stated floor, indicating flexibility in the final award size depending on the applicant's proposed scope, geographic coverage, and program design within the overall funding parameters.

In terms of eligibility, CDC cast a wide net. Eligible applicants included U.S. and non-U.S. entities, nonprofit organizations (with or without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses), small businesses including small, minority-, and women-owned businesses, universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and various levels of government (state and local governments and their bona fide agents, as well as federally recognized or state recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments). The notice also clarified the concept of a bona fide agent: an organization officially designated by a state or local government to apply on its behalf, which required documentation such as a letter verifying that status to be submitted with the application package through Grants.gov.

The posting timeline reflects that this was a time-limited competitive opportunity in 2011. It was posted on February 23, 2011, created on March 3, 2011, and had an original and current closing date of April 20, 2011. The archive date was May 20, 2011, indicating it is no longer active. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), with a phone number provided for support.

Overall, the grant opportunity sought to sustain and strengthen a locally delivered, integrated care model in Haiti that combined HIV treatment and ongoing care with prevention, primary health services, and community support, while also recognizing the importance of coordinated service platforms capable of responding to cholera and other urgent health threats. The size of the available funding and the single expected award suggest a large, centralized implementation effort focused on a defined region, with CDC actively engaged through the cooperative agreement structure to guide implementation quality and alignment with PEPFAR objectives.
