Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), supports efforts to strengthen health systems in Central Asia by improving how health workers and laboratory staff are trained. The overall aim is to build stronger, more consistent pipelines for developing competent healthcare providers and lab professionals in five countries: Kazakhstan, the Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. Rather than focusing on a single short term training push, the opportunity is framed around strengthening and expanding the underlying training structures that produce and maintain a skilled workforce over time, which is especially important for HIV related service delivery and broader public health capacity.
The program prioritizes three major training areas. First, it targets pre service education in universities and colleges that prepare future healthcare providers for work in both public and private health sectors. This can include improving curricula, teaching methods, practical placements, competency standards, and the overall quality and relevance of training before students enter the workforce. Second, it supports in service training for current healthcare workers, delivered through universities, colleges, post graduate institutes, or other professional training venues. In service training generally aims to update the skills of practicing clinicians and public health workers, standardize approaches across facilities, and ensure that workers remain current with evolving clinical guidelines, prevention strategies, and systems level practices. Third, the opportunity explicitly includes pre service or in service training for laboratory personnel, recognizing that laboratory systems and accurate testing are critical components of effective HIV programs and health system strengthening more broadly.
A key feature of the announcement is that CDC expects applicants to recognize and plan for major differences across the five countries. The pre service and in service training environment can vary significantly from one setting to another due to differences in national education systems, accreditation requirements, workforce gaps, institutional capacity, and existing donor or government programs. Because of that, applicants are expected to propose workplans that are tailored to each country rather than taking a one size fits all approach. In practical terms, that means an applicant might propose different training models, different institutional partners, and different implementation timelines depending on what is realistic and needed in each location.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC anticipates having substantial involvement during implementation, such as collaboration on technical direction, monitoring, and alignment with PEPFAR and national priorities. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and falls under the health activity category, with the CFDA number listed as 93.067 (Global AIDS). The estimated total funding amount is $4,000,000, and the stated award ceiling is also $4,000,000, with no award floor specified. The announcement anticipated making up to four awards. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute a specific non federal share to be eligible.
Eligibility is broad and includes public and private nonprofit organizations, for profit organizations, small businesses (including minority and women owned businesses), institutions of higher education (public and private universities and colleges), research institutions, hospitals, community based and faith based organizations, tribal entities, and state and local governments or their bona fide agents. Non U.S. (non domestic) entities are also listed as eligible, which can be important for work in Central Asia where local or regional organizations may be well positioned to implement training reforms. For applicants applying as a bona fide agent of a state or local government, the announcement requires documentation in the form of a letter confirming that status to be submitted with the application.
The opportunity was posted on March 16, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 17, 2010, and it was archived on May 18, 2010. The administering agency is CDC. For technical issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is CDC's Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) at 770-488-2700.
