Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a CDC cooperative agreement (CDC RFA PS09-9121) tied to the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and focused specifically on strengthening the Government of the Republic of Zambia's Ministry of Health (MOH) response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The overall intent is capacity building and targeted technical assistance across multiple HIV program areas so that the MOH can lead a stronger, more coordinated, and more sustainable national response. Rather than creating a stand-alone project run by an outside organization, the emphasis is on reinforcing the MOH's ability to plan, manage, implement, and oversee HIV activities in a way that can be maintained locally over time.
The mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which usually means CDC would remain substantially involved during implementation through collaboration, guidance, and oversight. The activity category is health, and the CFDA listing is 93.067 (Global AIDS), aligning the award with broader U.S. government global HIV efforts. The announcement describes the purpose as continuing to strengthen, support, and expand the Zambian MOH's response, suggesting the award is meant to build on existing work and systems rather than start from scratch, with an expectation that improvements will be institutionalized inside the ministry.
Funding was structured to support a single award. The forecast indicates approximately $3,135,000 would be available, and both the award ceiling and floor are listed as $3,135,000, signaling an intent to fund one recipient at a fixed level rather than a range of potential award sizes. While an "estimated total funding" figure of $50,000,000 appears in the source data, the practical, actionable amount for this specific opportunity as described is the roughly $3.135 million award for one cooperative agreement. The anticipated award date was before September 30, 2009, with the opportunity posted March 31, 2009, and an application deadline of May 29, 2009 (with an archive date of June 28, 2009).
Eligibility is highly restricted: assistance under this announcement was only available to the Zambian Ministry of Health. The listing uses the general label "Others" in the eligibility field, but the eligibility statement clarifies that the MOH is the only eligible applicant. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the applicant was not required to contribute a set portion of funds or in-kind resources as a condition of the award.
In practical terms, the opportunity was designed to channel CDC/PEPFAR resources directly into strengthening the MOH's internal capacity and technical performance across several HIV-related program areas, with the end goal of a more locally led, durable national HIV response. For parties needing the full announcement but unable to access it online, CDC's Procurement and Grants Office provided a contact point (PGOTIM, phone 770-488-2700) for assistance.
