Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (CDC RFA PS10-1055) is a CDC-funded cooperative agreement focused on strengthening the HIV/AIDS Division (HAD) within Nigeria's Federal Ministry of Health so it can more effectively coordinate, manage, and oversee national HIV prevention, care, and treatment efforts. The core idea is that national HIV results depend heavily on the strength of the central body that sets standards, issues guidance, monitors performance, and ensures consistency and quality across implementing partners and service delivery sites. In practical terms, the program is designed to build HAD's internal structure, staffing, and operating systems so it can lead a more organized and higher-quality national HIV response, including better integration of services and stronger surveillance and monitoring functions.
The opportunity sits within the CDC's Global AIDS portfolio (CFDA 93.067) and is categorized as discretionary health funding. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which means CDC would not simply provide funds and step back; instead, CDC would expect substantial involvement throughout implementation, typically through joint planning, technical assistance, performance monitoring, and ongoing collaboration around deliverables. The announcement anticipates a single award, emphasizing that this is meant to directly support the national coordinating entity rather than multiple independent projects. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, so the recipient would not be required to contribute additional non-federal funds to meet a match threshold.
The funding details indicate an estimated total funding amount of $25,000,000, while also listing an award floor and ceiling of $1,000,000. In many federal postings, that combination can reflect how funds are structured across budget periods or phases, or it can reflect administrative fields that do not fully convey year-by-year totals in the summary record. What is clear from the listing is that CDC intended a substantial investment overall and expected one primary recipient to carry the work forward in coordination with CDC. Key dates in the listing include a posted date of January 13, 2010, an original closing date of March 15, 2010, and a revised closing date of April 9, 2010, with the opportunity archived on May 9, 2010.
Eligibility is narrowly defined. The announcement specifies that the HIV/AIDS Division of the Federal Ministry of Health is mandated by the Government of Nigeria to provide oversight of national HIV policies, guidelines, programs, and services, and that it is the central and sole division responsible for developing national standards of practice and ensuring adherence for HIV programs and services across Nigeria. The eligible applicant category is shown as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the eligibility narrative makes it clear that this opportunity is essentially intended for HAD itself, given its unique national mandate and role as the authoritative standard-setting and oversight body.
In terms of what the program aims to accomplish, the description highlights capacity building for HAD to improve its structure and systems. That typically translates into strengthening governance and management processes; improving planning and coordination mechanisms across national and subnational levels; enhancing technical oversight of prevention, clinical care, and treatment programming; and ensuring that HIV services are high quality, standardized, and integrated where appropriate with other health services. The title explicitly calls out surveillance and monitoring, which signals a strong emphasis on data systems, performance monitoring, and the ability to use data to guide program decisions, track progress, and maintain accountability. It also suggests an emphasis on expanding access, meaning that beyond policy and oversight, HAD would be supported to drive scale-up of services in ways that maintain quality and integration rather than simply increasing volume.
The funder is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For access issues related to the full announcement, the contact listed is PGO TIMS at 770-488-2700, with a general email referenced (though not fully shown in the provided text). Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a high-level national systems-strengthening award: it is not primarily about delivering services directly as a standalone provider, but about equipping the Federal Ministry of Health's HIV/AIDS Division to set direction, coordinate stakeholders, enforce standards, and oversee nationwide HIV programming with stronger surveillance, monitoring, and integrated service delivery.
