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," is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement designed to reinforce Rwanda s national HIV response by directly supporting the Rwanda Ministry of Health (MOH). The central goal is to help build and sustain a locally led, long-term capacity within the MOH to plan, manage, and deliver HIV/AIDS programs and closely related public health activities. In other words, the funding is aimed less at short-term, stand-alone projects and more at strengthening the core systems and operational capability of the country s primary health authority so it can continue addressing the HIV epidemic effectively over time.

The opportunity was issued as CDC RFA PS09 9118 under CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS) and is categorized as a discretionary health award using a cooperative agreement mechanism. A cooperative agreement typically means CDC expects to have substantial involvement during the period of performance, such as collaborating on technical approaches, monitoring progress, and providing guidance consistent with U.S. government grant rules and PEPFAR priorities. The program is explicitly tied to the President s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), signaling alignment with broader PEPFAR objectives such as improving HIV prevention, care and treatment outcomes, strengthening health systems, and ensuring country ownership and sustainability.

Funding for the announcement is estimated at approximately $1,880,000 in total, with an expectation of a single award. The published award floor is $940,000, indicating the anticipated budget range for the award while still keeping the overall total near the stated estimate. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the eligible applicant is not required to provide a financial match as a condition of receiving the award. The expected funding date was listed as prior to September 30, 2009, which reflects the intended timeline for making the award within that fiscal period.

Eligibility is narrow and specific: the Rwanda Ministry of Health is the only entity eligible to apply for these funds. This makes the opportunity effectively a direct government-to-government capacity strengthening award rather than an open competition for NGOs, universities, or other implementing partners. The design reinforces the intent to place leadership and implementation responsibility within Rwanda s MOH and to support national programs in HIV/AIDS and related areas through direct institutional support.

Key administrative details include a posted and creation date of May 14, 2009, with an original and current closing date of June 26, 2009, and an archive date of July 26, 2009. Applicants were directed to consult the full announcement on Grants.gov for complete requirements, programmatic expectations, and application instructions. For access issues, CDC provided a point of contact through the CDC Procurement and Grants Office, including a phone number (770 488 2700), indicating standard support for applicants who encounter difficulties retrieving the full electronic notice.
