Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under PEPFAR, is a discretionary cooperative agreement designed to strengthen South Africa's ability to reduce illness and deaths by improving strategic information, supporting effective program implementation, and building long-term capacity. The award is framed around helping the South African Medical Research Council (MRC) contribute directly to the National Department of Health (NDoH) priorities, often described as the country's four health pillars: increasing life expectancy, reducing maternal and child mortality, combating HIV and AIDS while also lowering the burden of tuberculosis, and improving overall health system effectiveness. In practical terms, the grant is meant to back research-driven and data-informed public health work that can translate into better policy, stronger programs, and measurable improvements in population health outcomes.
A key feature of the announcement is that it is tailored to the MRC's role and legal mandate. The opportunity cites South Africa's Government Act No. 58 of 1991, which maintains the MRC and defines its purpose as promoting improvements in health and quality of life through research, development, and technology transfer, along with any additional functions assigned under the Act. The NDoH explicitly identifies the MRC as the organization positioned to deliver substantive research needed to confront major epidemics affecting the country, particularly HIV and TB. Because of that designation, eligibility is presented in a narrow, specific way (listed generally as "Others" with clarification in the eligibility text), signaling that the award is intended to support the MRC as the primary implementing and research partner.
Financially, the CDC anticipated one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000,000 and a stated award ceiling of $10,000,000 (with no award floor). The CFDA number is 93.067, labeled Global AIDS, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial CDC involvement beyond a standard grant, such as collaboration on technical direction, monitoring, and performance expectations tied to program goals and public health impact.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted and created on February 26, 2013, with an original and current closing date of April 19, 2013, and an archive date of May 19, 2013. The funding opportunity number is CDC-RFA-GH13-1340, and it sits within the health funding activity category. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) via phone at 770-488-2700 or email at pgotim@cdc.gov.
