Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (CDC RFA PS09 9116) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cooperative agreement designed to strengthen Rwanda's national capacity to manage and coordinate surveillance and response across several major infectious disease threats, with a particular emphasis aligned with the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The core aim is to build the technical and leadership capabilities of the Center for Treatment and Research on AIDS, Malaria, Tuberculosis and Other Epidemics (TRACPlus), a program within the Rwanda Ministry of Health, so it can more effectively coordinate services tied to monitoring and addressing multiple epidemics in the Republic of Rwanda. In practical terms, the opportunity is framed around improving TRACPlus's ability to organize and lead work that supports country-level program implementation and epidemic surveillance, rather than funding a broad pool of external applicants or unrelated research projects.
The announcement indicates an estimated total funding level of approximately $3,708,080, with the expectation of making a single award. The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the CDC anticipates substantial involvement with the awardee during planning and implementation, often through technical collaboration, shared oversight, and ongoing coordination. The activity category is health, and the CFDA listing provided is 93.067 (Global AIDS), which signals that although the center addresses multiple diseases, the funding is anchored within a global HIV/AIDS program context and related public health systems support.
Eligibility is tightly restricted. The only eligible applicant is the Rwanda Ministry of Health's TRACPlus program, meaning this is essentially a targeted capacity-building award intended for a specific national entity rather than an open competition among NGOs, universities, or other organizations. The notice also specifies there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the awardee is not expected to contribute a defined financial match to receive the funds.
Key administrative details include a posted date of March 31, 2009, and an application closing date of May 29, 2009, with an archive date of June 28, 2009. The estimated funding date is described as prior to September 30, 2009, which suggests an intent to obligate funds within the U.S. federal fiscal year. The stated award floor is $1,000,000, implying the award would be at least that amount, with the total estimate pointing to a substantially larger single award if fully funded.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a focused investment to strengthen national coordination and surveillance leadership within Rwanda through TRACPlus, helping the Ministry of Health better track and respond to HIV/AIDS and other significant epidemics such as malaria and tuberculosis. Anyone needing the full text but unable to access it electronically is directed to the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGOTIM) at 770-488-2700 for assistance.
