Opportunity Summary:

This funding opportunity, titled "Strengthening Public Health Systems in the Caribbean Region by supporting the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) under the Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," was a discretionary grant competition issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It was offered as a cooperative agreement, which means the CDC expected to have substantial involvement in the work alongside the recipient rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal engagement. The program sits within the health funding category and is linked to the Global AIDS program area under CFDA number 93.067, aligning it directly with PEPFAR priorities and HIV-related public health system strengthening.

The core purpose of the award was to strengthen public health systems across the Caribbean region by supporting CARPHA, a regional public health entity that serves Caribbean countries by coordinating surveillance, laboratory strengthening, public health preparedness, and other cross-border functions. In practical terms, the opportunity was framed around reinforcing regional capacity to respond to HIV/AIDS challenges (and related public health demands) through a centralized, collaborative approach that CARPHA is positioned to lead. By channeling support through a regional agency, the initiative emphasized system-level improvements that can benefit multiple countries at once, such as shared technical standards, regional coordination, workforce capacity, and more consistent public health practices.

The opportunity anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1), indicating it was structured for a targeted partnership rather than a broad multi-recipient grant program. The estimated total funding listed for the opportunity was $4,500,000, while the award ceiling was $1,000,000; the award floor was $0. No cost sharing or matching was required, reducing barriers for the recipient and signaling that the federal government intended to fully fund the cooperative agreement activities up to the awarded amount.

Key administrative details include the Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH14-1404, with the announcement posted and created on December 4, 2013. The original and current closing date was January 8, 2014, and the opportunity was later archived on February 7, 2014. Eligibility was described broadly as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full announcement, but the intent clearly centered on supporting CARPHA to deliver region-wide public health system strengthening under PEPFAR.

For applicants or stakeholders needing help accessing the full announcement at the time, the CDC provided a contact point through its Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), reachable by phone at 770-488-2700.
