Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a CDC cooperative agreement under CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS) and is designed to strengthen the capacity of South Africa's National Department of Health (NDOH) to carry out core public health functions tied to the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The central idea is to provide targeted support that helps the NDOH better implement and evaluate evidence-based public health programs, with a strong emphasis on surveillance and disease control efforts. In practice, that means reinforcing the systems and capabilities the NDOH relies on to prevent illness, promote healthier lifestyles, and continuously improve how health services are delivered across the country.
The opportunity is framed around the NDOH's national mission: improving population health through prevention and health promotion, while strengthening the healthcare delivery system with a focus on access, equity, efficiency, quality, and long-term sustainability. The grant is not described as a standalone HIV program in isolation, but rather as support that enables the NDOH to operate more effectively at a system level, including the ability to plan, manage, monitor, and evaluate public health interventions. Because it is a cooperative agreement, the CDC is expected to have substantial involvement in the work, typically through close technical collaboration, joint planning, and ongoing oversight to ensure activities align with PEPFAR objectives and public health evidence.
Funding is substantial: the estimated total funding is $60,000,000, with an award ceiling of $10,000,000 and no specified award floor. The FOA anticipates a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1), signaling that it is structured to fund one main recipient rather than multiple competing implementers. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces financial barriers for the recipient and reflects the government-to-government capacity-building intent of the announcement.
Eligibility is intentionally narrow and essentially exclusive. The only eligible applicant is the South African National Department of Health, described as the sole government entity legally mandated to carry responsibility for healthcare for all South Africans. The FOA notes that this mandate is rooted in South Africa's Constitution and legislation passed by Parliament, and it explicitly recognizes that there is only one institution in the country empowered to serve in this role. In other words, while the general grants system may list eligibility as "Others" with clarification, the practical reality is that the NDOH is the only permissible applicant.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on February 26, 2013, with an original and current closing date of April 19, 2013, and an archive date of May 19, 2013. The funding instrument is categorized as discretionary, with a health activity category. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), reachable by phone at 770-488-2700 or by email at pgotim@cdc.gov.
