Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Strengthening the Capacity of National Governments in the Caribbean to Monitor the HIV Epidemic under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)" is a CDC-funded cooperative agreement designed to help national governments in the Caribbean better understand and track their HIV epidemics. The central aim is to improve the availability, quality, timeliness, and practical use of HIV/AIDS surveillance and program monitoring data so governments can make better decisions about prevention, treatment, and resource allocation. In plain terms, the program is focused on building stronger national systems that can reliably answer questions like who is being affected, where transmission is occurring, how well programs are reaching key groups, and whether national responses are improving outcomes over time.
This opportunity was released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a discretionary funding program in the health category, and it uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement typically means the CDC expects to be substantially involved in the work beyond just providing funds, often through technical guidance, collaboration on implementation approaches, and shared oversight of deliverables. The funding is connected to CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS), reflecting its alignment with broader U.S. global HIV efforts under PEPFAR. The overall program emphasis is on surveillance and monitoring capacity rather than direct service delivery, meaning the work is oriented toward strengthening data systems, reporting, analysis, and how data is used to guide national HIV strategies.
Financially, the total estimated funding for the announcement is $1,500,000, with an expectation of one award. Individual award amounts are projected to fall between $300,000 (floor) and $500,000 (ceiling). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers barriers for applicants that may not be able to contribute additional non-federal funds. The opportunity was posted on February 28, 2011, with an application closing date of April 27, 2011, and it was archived on May 27, 2011, indicating it is a past funding round rather than an open competition today.
The eligible applicant pool is broad and includes many types of organizations that could plausibly support government surveillance and monitoring functions. Eligible applicants include U.S. state and local governments (and their bona fide agents), city or township governments, county governments, special district governments, federally recognized tribal governments, and public or state-controlled institutions of higher education. It also includes private universities and colleges, hospitals, research institutions, community-based organizations, and faith-based organizations. Both nonprofit organizations with and without 501(c)(3) status may apply, and for-profit entities are also eligible, including small businesses and small, minority, and women-owned businesses. The eligibility list explicitly includes non-U.S. (non-domestic) entities, which is relevant given the Caribbean focus. For applicants seeking to apply as a bona fide agent on behalf of a state or local government, the announcement requires formal documentation: a letter from the relevant government confirming bona fide agent status must be included with the application materials submitted through Grants.gov.
Programmatically, the work described is aimed at strengthening the ability of national governments to characterize and monitor HIV epidemics through improved surveillance and program monitoring. That generally implies activities such as improving HIV case reporting systems, strengthening sentinel and integrated bio-behavioral surveillance where relevant, enhancing data quality assurance practices, standardizing indicators, improving the timeliness of reporting, and building capacity for data analysis and interpretation within ministries of health or national HIV programs. It also implies strengthening the "use" side of data, meaning turning surveillance and monitoring outputs into actionable insights that inform policy, targeting, and program improvement, rather than simply collecting data for compliance purposes. The emphasis on quality and timeliness signals that the CDC was prioritizing more reliable, up-to-date information that can support real-time management of national responses and improve accountability for results.
