Opportunity Summary:

This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS10-10144) is a 2010 discretionary funding announcement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under CFDA 93.067, Global AIDS, and it sits within the broader President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) framework. The core aim is to strengthen public health capacity in the Republic of Zimbabwe by supporting Masters-level graduate training programs in public health, with an emphasis on building a stronger pipeline of trained public health professionals who can contribute to HIV/AIDS and related public health priorities through improved training and workforce development.

The program has two clear purposes. The primary purpose is to support and reinforce Masters-level public health training in Zimbabwe, essentially investing in the country’s graduate public health education infrastructure and the production of skilled MPH-level practitioners. A secondary purpose is explicitly recruitment-oriented: it seeks to broaden who enters MPH training by attracting "non-traditional" MPH students, defined here as individuals who do not come from the most common health professional backgrounds such as nursing or medicine. In addition, the announcement signals interest in drawing non-Zimbabweans into MPH training, which suggests an intent to diversify cohorts, promote regional or international participation, and potentially strengthen cross-border public health collaboration and knowledge exchange connected to HIV/AIDS and broader health system needs.

The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that CDC anticipated substantial involvement during the project period rather than a hands-off grant. While the announcement does not provide the specific programmatic activities in the excerpted text, the cooperative agreement structure generally implies active collaboration, technical engagement, and ongoing coordination with CDC on implementation, monitoring, and alignment with PEPFAR objectives. The total estimated funding for the opportunity is listed as USD 3,000,000, and the expected number of awards is one, meaning the competition was designed to select a single recipient (or lead organization) to carry out the work at the scale envisioned.

In terms of applicant eligibility, the opportunity is broad and inclusive. Eligible applicants include public and private nonprofit organizations, for-profit organizations (including small and minority- or women-owned businesses), universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, and a range of governmental and tribal entities. The eligibility list also includes non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities, which is important given the Zimbabwe focus and indicates CDC was open to applicants based outside the United States. The announcement also explains the "bona fide agent" concept for state and local government applicants, requiring documentation from the relevant government entity when applying in that capacity.

Key administrative details place the opportunity in early 2010: it was posted on February 19, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 20, 2010, and an archive date of May 20, 2010. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the financial barrier to applying and can make participation more feasible for academic institutions and training programs. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as 0 in the excerpt, which usually reflects that specific per-award ranges were either not set in the summary fields or were described elsewhere in the full announcement rather than in the high-level metadata.

Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted workforce and training investment under PEPFAR: CDC sought one partner to help strengthen Zimbabwe’s Masters-level public health training capacity while also widening the recruitment pipeline to include candidates beyond traditional clinical backgrounds and to encourage participation by non-Zimbabweans. For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement, CDC provided a grants contact point through PGO TIMS Grants (phone 770-488-2700) and a general email contact (not fully shown in the excerpt).
