Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Strengthening Strategic Information Activities in the Kingdom of Lesotho under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief" is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funding announcement issued under PEPFAR, the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. The main purpose is to support and strengthen strategic information work related to the HIV/AIDS response in Lesotho. In practical terms, "strategic information" typically refers to the systems and activities that allow a country and its partners to understand the HIV epidemic, track program performance, measure outcomes, and use data to guide decisions. The announcement frames this as part of CDC's broader approach under the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator: working with host governments and other partners to assess country needs and implement a tailored package of support that aligns with the host nation's own strategic plan and partnership framework.
This opportunity is offered as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which usually means CDC expects substantial involvement during implementation, such as ongoing technical collaboration, joint planning, and regular monitoring of progress rather than a hands-off grant. The activity area is health, and the related CFDA listing is 93.067 (Global AIDS), signaling that the funding is part of the U.S. government's global HIV/AIDS assistance portfolio. The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA GH13 1315.
The announcement anticipates making one award. The estimated total funding amount is $6,000,000, with an award ceiling of $1,200,000 and no stated minimum award amount (award floor listed as $0). No cost sharing or matching is required, meaning applicants are not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. Key dates show it was posted on January 28, 2013, created on April 9, 2013, originally due April 9, 2013, later extended to a current closing date of April 26, 2013, and then archived on May 9, 2013.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of U.S. and non-U.S. entities. Eligible applicants include nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) IRS status (excluding institutions of higher education in those two nonprofit categories), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), small/minority/women-owned businesses, universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, and multiple categories of tribal entities and Indian health organizations. Government eligibility is also included: state and local governments or their bona fide agents, along with political subdivisions of states (in consultation with states). The eligible jurisdictions list explicitly covers the District of Columbia and multiple U.S. territories and freely associated states (for example Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau). Importantly, the announcement also allows non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities to apply. If an applicant applies as a bona fide agent of a state or local government, it must include a legal, binding agreement from the relevant government documenting that status, submitted with the application materials through Grants.gov.
The sponsoring agency is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While the short description provided does not list detailed project components, it clearly positions the effort as CDC-led technical and programmatic support under PEPFAR intended to strengthen Lesotho's ability to collect, manage, analyze, and use HIV program data in line with national strategies. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management unit is provided as the point of contact, reachable by phone at (770) 488-2700 or by email at pgotim@cdc.gov.
