Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, CDC RFA PS09-918, is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement funded under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). It focuses on strengthening the HIV/AIDS response in Chennai and, more broadly, supporting the State of Tamil Nadu's National AIDS Control Program through the Tamil Nadu State AIDS Control Society (TNSACS). The core intent is not simply to fund service delivery, but to provide targeted technical assistance and capacity development that improves the effectiveness, coordination, and sustainability of state-level HIV programming.
The announcement indicates an estimated total of about $339,200 to support approximately one award, suggesting a single primary recipient for this funding cycle. While the estimated total funding is listed as $339,200, the stated award range provides additional context: the award floor is $200,000 and the ceiling is $600,000, which signals that the final award amount could vary depending on the approved work plan and budget. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning CDC is expected to have substantial involvement during implementation, typically through collaboration on technical direction, performance monitoring, and program improvement rather than operating as a hands-off funder.
The activity category is health, and the CFDA listing is 93.067 (Global AIDS), placing it within CDC's global HIV/AIDS portfolio. The grant does not require cost sharing or matching, which reduces the financial burden on the recipient and reinforces that the purpose is to resource a defined set of capacity-building and technical support activities rather than to leverage recipient funds.
Eligibility is highly restricted: the eligible applicant is the Tamil Nadu State AIDS Control Society (TNSACS). Although the general eligibility field references "Others (see text...)," the specific eligibility information clarifies that TNSACS is the applicant. In practical terms, this reads like a targeted funding action designed to directly support a specific government partner entity responsible for coordinating the state's HIV response, rather than an open competition among NGOs or academic institutions.
Key dates in the notice show that the opportunity was posted on March 31, 2009, with an original application deadline of May 28, 2009, later extended to June 29, 2009 (applications due by 5:00 pm Eastern Time). The archive date is July 29, 2009, and the estimated funding date is prior to September 30, 2009, which aligns with a U.S. federal fiscal year timeline and implies relatively rapid turnaround from review to award.
In terms of what the funding is meant to accomplish, the stated purpose is to deliver technical and capacity development support for activities that strengthen the National AIDS Control Program in Tamil Nadu. While the short description does not list specific interventions, language like "technical and capacity development support" commonly includes strengthening planning and management systems, improving surveillance and strategic information, enhancing monitoring and evaluation, building workforce and institutional capacity, improving program quality, and supporting evidence-based prevention, care, and treatment approaches. Because the focus is on the state program and Chennai, the work would likely prioritize systems that affect large-scale implementation, coordination across partners, and performance improvements in the areas where HIV burden and service needs are most concentrated.
The administering agency is the CDC, through its Procurement and Grants Office, and the opportunity provides a contact point for assistance accessing the full announcement: PGO TIMS (Technical Information Management Section) at 770-488-2700. The full announcement would contain the detailed program requirements, expected outcomes, reporting obligations, and the specific technical areas CDC intended to support through the cooperative agreement.
