Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Strengthening the Delivery, Coordination, and Monitoring of HIV Services in Malawi through Faith Based Institutions under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)." This announcement (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS09-968) is part of CDC's Global AIDS efforts under CFDA 93.067 and is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the work alongside the recipient rather than simply providing funds with minimal interaction. The overall aim is to improve how HIV services are delivered, coordinated, expanded, and tracked within Malawi's faith-based health sector.
The core purpose of the grant is to strengthen HIV service delivery systems operated through faith-based institutions in Malawi. In practical terms, the opportunity focuses on improving coordination across providers in the faith-based network, supporting the scale-up of HIV services, and enhancing monitoring so that service delivery can be measured and improved over time. The emphasis on delivery, coordination, and monitoring suggests the program is not only concerned with providing direct services, but also with making the service network function more effectively as a system, including better oversight, performance tracking, and alignment with national and PEPFAR priorities.
Funding was expected to support approximately one award. While one section of the notice mentions that "approximately $300,000 will be available to fund approximately one award," the source data also lists an Estimated Total Funding amount of $1,500,000 and an award floor of $300,000. Read together, those figures indicate that the award was anticipated to be at least $300,000, with total funds potentially reaching higher levels depending on the final award structure, project period, and CDC/PEPFAR planning decisions reflected in the full announcement. Importantly, there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility for this opportunity was narrowly defined. The eligible applicant identified in the posting is the Christian Health Association of Malawi (CHAM), indicating this was essentially a limited-eligibility competition designed to fund a specific organization operating a major faith-based health network in Malawi. That focus aligns with the program's intent: strengthening the faith-based sector's role in HIV service delivery through a nationally significant coordinating body.
Key administrative details include the posting date of March 30, 2009, with an original and current closing date of May 28, 2009. Applications were due by 5:00 PM Eastern Time on the closing date. The estimated funding date was stated as prior to September 30, 2009, reflecting the federal fiscal year timeline and suggesting awards were intended to be made before the end of FY2009. The opportunity was later archived on June 27, 2009, which typically happens after the application window closes and the active listing period ends.
For applicants or stakeholders who needed access to the full announcement or had trouble retrieving it electronically, the notice directed them to Grants.gov for complete details and provided CDC Procurement and Grants Office TIMS contact information (phone: 770-488-2700) with a general email listed in the announcement.
