Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Strengthening Pre service and In service HIV Training in the Republic of Kenya under the President s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief" (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA PS09 988). This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning awardees should expect an active partnership with CDC rather than a hands-off grant. The overall focus sits within the health category and aligns with PEPFAR priorities, specifically strengthening the human resources and training systems needed to sustain effective HIV prevention, care, and treatment programs in Kenya.
The core purpose of the program is to strengthen, expand, and further develop HIV/AIDS training programs in Kenya, with emphasis on both pre-service and in-service training. In practical terms, pre-service training typically refers to education and skill-building for individuals still in formal training pipelines (such as medical, nursing, clinical officer, laboratory, pharmacy, or public health training institutions), while in-service training targets the existing workforce already delivering services in clinics, hospitals, laboratories, and community health settings. By supporting both streams, the program aims to improve the quality, consistency, and reach of HIV-related competencies across the health system, helping ensure that providers are better prepared to deliver evidence-based HIV services and to keep pace with evolving standards of care.
Funding was substantial for the period: the source data lists an estimated total funding amount of 25,000,000, with an award ceiling of 500,000 and an award floor of 200,000 per project. The announcement indicates that approximately 5,000,000 would be available to fund roughly five awards, while the expected awards field lists six anticipated awards, suggesting CDC planned multiple cooperative agreements within a broader overall funding envelope. Importantly, there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers barriers for applicants that may not have significant non-federal resources to contribute.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity was open to any type of entity as long as it met any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement text. That generally can include universities, training institutions, non-profits, NGOs, professional associations, and potentially other organizations capable of designing and implementing training programs at scale. Because this is a cooperative agreement, applicants would typically be expected to demonstrate strong implementation capacity, credible partnerships in Kenya, and an ability to coordinate with national systems and stakeholders involved in HIV workforce development.
The timeline for the opportunity was tight and clearly defined. It was posted on March 30, 2009, with an application closing date of May 28, 2009, and applications due by 5:00 pm Eastern Time on the closing date. The archive date was June 27, 2009, and the estimated funding decision timeframe was prior to September 30, 2009. Applicants who needed the full announcement but had trouble accessing it electronically were directed to contact CDC PGO TIMS by phone at 770 488 2700.
For reference and categorization, the opportunity is associated with CFDA number 93.067 (Global AIDS). Additional details, including specific program requirements, expected outcomes, technical focus areas, and reporting expectations, were made available through the Grants.gov listing referenced in the announcement.
