Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under PEPFAR, is focused on strengthening the evidence base and building practical capacity to implement HIV prevention, care, and treatment programs in the Republic of South Africa. The core intent is public health impact: supporting activities that prevent or control disease and improve health outcomes, or that improve the delivery and performance of public health programs and services. The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expects to have substantial involvement with recipients during implementation, such as providing technical guidance, participating in planning and performance monitoring, and helping align activities with national and PEPFAR priorities.
A key boundary in the announcement is that recipients are not allowed to use the funds for research. In other words, this is not a research grant intended to generate generalizable new knowledge through research studies. That said, the opportunity explicitly recognizes that many real-world public health program activities can look similar to research and may still involve human subjects review depending on an institution's policies. The FOA indicates that non-research public health activities can be supported, including formative assessments, surveys used for program improvement, routine disease surveillance, program monitoring and evaluation, and field evaluation of diagnostic tests. The emphasis is on applied, implementation-oriented work that strengthens programs, improves service delivery, and supports better decision-making through high-quality data and evaluation, rather than hypothesis-driven research.
Financially, the CDC projected an estimated total of 50,000,000 in funding with an expectation of about five awards. The ceiling per award is listed as up to 10,000,000, with no stated award floor, meaning award sizes could vary and may be tailored to the scope and scale of proposed activities. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the barrier for organizations that may not have discretionary funds to contribute.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of organization types. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations (with or without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (including small, minority-, and women-owned businesses), universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, tribal governments and tribally designated organizations, tribal epidemiology centers, and state and local governments (including U.S. territories and affiliated jurisdictions). Non-U.S. (non-domestic) entities are also eligible, which is particularly relevant given the program focus on South Africa. The FOA also allows applications from bona fide agents of state or local governments, but requires formal documentation of that status in the application package.
Administratively, the opportunity is cataloged under CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS). The opportunity was posted on November 4, 2013, with an original closing date of January 3, 2014, later extended to January 15, 2014, and then archived on February 2, 2014. For applicants or organizations that needed access assistance with the full announcement materials, CDC provided support through its Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) at 770-488-2700.
Overall, the announcement is best understood as a large-scale implementation and program-strengthening funding opportunity in support of PEPFARs HIV goals in South Africa, prioritizing better program execution, stronger routine data systems and evaluation, and improved capacity to deliver prevention and treatment services, while explicitly excluding research as an allowable use of funds.
