Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Strengthening National Pediatric HIV/AIDS and Scaling up Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Services in the Republic of Uganda under The Presidents Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief," is a CDC-funded cooperative agreement designed to support and expand HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment efforts in Uganda, with a specific emphasis on pediatric HIV/AIDS and broader comprehensive service delivery. It sits under the umbrella of PEPFAR (the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief) and is backed by two major pieces of US legislation: the United States Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria Act of 2003 (Public Law 108-25) and the Tom Lantos and Henry J. Hyde United States Global Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Reauthorization Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-293). In practical terms, that means the funding is part of the long-running US global HIV response framework and is intended to align with PEPFAR priorities, accountability expectations, and public health impact goals.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically indicates substantial involvement by CDC in the funded project. That can include close technical collaboration, shared planning and monitoring, adherence to CDC and PEPFAR reporting requirements, and alignment with national strategies and implementing partner coordination. The program falls under the Health funding activity category and is tied to CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS), which is the federal assistance listing historically used for CDC global HIV work.
The opportunity anticipated a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1), meaning CDC intended to select one primary recipient to implement the program at scale. The estimated total funding amount was $25,000,000, with an award floor of $1,000,000 and an award ceiling of $5,000,000, suggesting the funding was likely structured across multiple budget periods or years, or that the total estimated funding reflected the overall project period while yearly increments were capped within that range. No cost sharing or matching was required, which lowers the financial barrier to participation and is common for large public health cooperative agreements where the donor seeks maximum programmatic focus rather than co-financing.
Eligibility was narrowly defined. Applications were limited to foreign entities located in Uganda, and applicants needed to already have an active and current comprehensive HIV prevention, care, or antiretroviral treatment (ART) program operating in Uganda at the time of submission. This requirement effectively screens out new or newly formed organizations and favors established implementers with demonstrated operational capacity, existing infrastructure, and a track record delivering HIV services. The announcement explicitly states that organizations created solely to respond to this funding opportunity were ineligible. Within that Uganda-based foreign-entity limitation, a wide variety of institution types could apply, including public and private institutions of higher education, small businesses and other for-profit organizations, state and local government units (including county, city/township, special district, independent school districts), regional organizations, faith-based or community-based organizations, and certain eligible federal government agencies (as referenced in the text). The broad list of organization types suggests CDC was more focused on in-country capability and program maturity than on a narrow institutional category.
From a program intent perspective, the title signals two connected aims: strengthening the national pediatric HIV/AIDS response and scaling up comprehensive HIV/AIDS services more generally. Pediatric HIV work commonly includes areas such as prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) linkages, early infant diagnosis, pediatric HIV case finding, initiation and maintenance on ART for children and adolescents, retention and adherence support, and integration with maternal, newborn, and child health services. The "scaling up comprehensive services" language implies expansion beyond a single technical area, often meaning a continuum that spans HIV testing services, linkage to care, ART delivery, clinical and laboratory monitoring, prevention interventions, and support services that improve outcomes across populations, including children, adolescents, and families. While the source text provided does not list specific activities or targets, PEPFAR-CDC cooperative agreements of this type typically emphasize measurable service delivery improvements, quality improvement, data systems, and coordination with Uganda national HIV programs.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number (CDC-RFA-GH12-1215) and the posting timeline. The opportunity was posted March 23, 2012, created April 13, 2012, and ultimately closed May 16, 2012 (modified from an original closing date of May 22, 2012). The archive date was June 21, 2012, indicating it is no longer open and is preserved for record purposes. The administering agency was the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
