Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, listed as CDC RFA PS09-9108, is a discretionary cooperative agreement issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). It focuses on Vietnam and is specifically designed to strengthen laboratory systems and develop sustainable human capacity to support the national response to HIV/AIDS. The overall intent is not simply to purchase supplies or fund short-term activities, but to build durable institutional capability within Vietnam so that HIV-related laboratory services and support functions can be maintained and improved over time.
The program has a very targeted applicant pool: the only organization eligible to apply is the Vietnam Administration for Medical Services (VAMS). In practical terms, this means the award is meant to directly support Vietnam's government health administration structure responsible for medical services, with CDC working alongside VAMS in a cooperative agreement format. A cooperative agreement typically implies substantial involvement from the funding agency in technical collaboration, guidance, and coordination, rather than a hands-off grant relationship.
The purpose of the award is to strengthen VAMS's capacity to better address laboratory needs related to HIV/AIDS and to provide HIV-related support and services. While the short summary does not list detailed work plan components, the emphasis on "laboratory systems" and "sustainable human capacity" generally points toward activities such as improving laboratory network organization and oversight, strengthening quality management systems, enhancing biosafety and standard operating procedures, supporting training and mentorship for laboratory staff, and improving the ability to implement and monitor reliable HIV diagnostics and related testing services. The goal is to ensure that laboratory services supporting HIV prevention, care, and treatment programs are accurate, timely, and scalable, and that Vietnam has the trained personnel and management systems required to sustain these services.
Funding for the announcement is relatively small and concentrated, with an estimated total of approximately USD 320,000 to support a single award. The award ceiling is USD 320,000 and the award floor is USD 200,000, indicating the expected budget range for the proposed work. No cost sharing or matching is required. The funding activity category is Health, and the associated CFDA number is 93.067 (Global AIDS), linking it to CDC's broader global HIV/AIDS portfolio.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on March 31, 2009, with an application deadline of May 29, 2009. The archive date is June 28, 2009, and the estimated funding date is prior to September 30, 2009, indicating CDC intended to make the award within the U.S. federal fiscal year timeline. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, CDC directed inquiries to its Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), with a phone contact provided (770-488-2700).
In short, this opportunity is a single-recipient cooperative agreement aimed at strengthening Vietnam's HIV/AIDS laboratory capacity by investing in systems improvements and workforce development within VAMS, funded by CDC through PEPFAR, with up to USD 320,000 available and no matching requirement.
