Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Strengthening the Ministry of Health s Capacity to Respond to the HIV/AIDS Epidemic in the Republic of Rwanda under the President s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," was issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a discretionary cooperative agreement. Its central aim was to build on HIV/AIDS prevention, care, support, and treatment services that began in Rwanda in 2004 through PEPFAR-funded HIV clinical services and antiretroviral treatment efforts supported by HHS/CDC and HHS/HRSA. A major emphasis of the program was not only expanding service delivery, but also accelerating the shift from US government-funded implementation toward host country ownership, with the stated goal of improving long-term sustainability of Rwanda's HIV response.
The opportunity was designed as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the funder expects substantial involvement in the program beyond simply providing funds. In practice, this structure often supports close technical collaboration, joint planning, performance monitoring, and alignment with national strategies, especially when the award is intended to strengthen a ministry of health and institutional systems. The focus on "capacity to respond" signals that the award would likely support both direct HIV service scale-up and the underlying systems that make services reliable and sustainable, such as program management, coordination, workforce and clinical mentoring, supply chain and logistics for commodities including antiretroviral therapy, laboratory and diagnostic capacity, data systems and surveillance, and quality improvement processes tied to national guidelines and targets. The framing also reflects PEPFAR priorities during that period, which increasingly pushed for country-led programs, stronger government stewardship, and durable health-sector institutions capable of maintaining progress as external funding evolved.
From an administrative standpoint, the funding opportunity number was CDC RFA PS09 91180201SUPP11, and it was associated with CFDA number 93.067 (Global AIDS). The estimated total funding amount listed was 75,000,000, with an expected number of awards of one, meaning the entire program was set up to support a single awardee rather than multiple competing recipients. Notably, both the award ceiling and floor were listed as 0, which usually indicates the public synopsis did not specify a per-award range even though an estimated total program funding amount was provided. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the applicant would not have been required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was tightly restricted: the only organization eligible to apply was the Rwandan Ministry of Health. That restriction aligns with the opportunity's explicit purpose of strengthening national capacity and promoting transition to host country ownership. In other words, rather than funding an external implementing partner to run services, the structure was aimed at enabling the ministry itself to lead and manage the HIV/AIDS response with support under PEPFAR and CDC.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on Oct 19, 2010, with an original and current closing date of Dec 21, 2010, and an archive date of Jan 20, 2011. The issuing agency was the CDC. For applicants or stakeholders who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the notice provided a point of contact at the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), with the listed phone number 770 488 2700. The announcement also referenced an "Additional Information" link directing readers to the "Full Announcement" for complete details, which is where specifics such as program activities, reporting requirements, performance measures, budget guidance, and CDC involvement would typically be defined.
