Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) through its Procurement and Grants Office, supports a comprehensive HIV and AIDS program at the district level in the Republic of South Africa under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The core aim is to strengthen HIV service delivery systems and improve the quality and reach of care and support services for people who are HIV-infected and those affected by HIV in district settings. In practical terms, the announcement is positioned around helping programs perform better where services are actually delivered, such as improving how patients are identified, linked to care, managed over time, and supported with wraparound services that help them stay in treatment and maintain health.
The opportunity is designed to directly support and advance shared priorities of the United States Government (USG) and the South African Government (SAG) in expanding and strengthening HIV and AIDS activities under PEPFAR in South Africa. That emphasis signals that applicants would be expected to align proposed activities with national and PEPFAR strategies at the time, coordinate with government counterparts, and implement interventions that can be integrated into district health systems rather than operating as stand-alone projects. The overall focus is not only on expanding access, but also on making services more effective and consistent, improving standards of care, and strengthening the underlying delivery platform so the district can sustain improvements.
CDC planned to make approximately one award under this announcement, using a cooperative agreement funding instrument. A cooperative agreement generally indicates substantial federal involvement compared with a standard grant, meaning the awardee would likely collaborate closely with CDC on planning, monitoring, and technical direction, and would be expected to report against agreed program targets and performance indicators. The funding activity category is health, and the CFDA listing provided is 93.067 (Global AIDS), reflecting its placement within the broader federal HIV response portfolio.
The estimated total funding available was approximately $3,834,350, with an award floor of $2,000,000 and an award ceiling of $4,000,000. The anticipated timing for the award was prior to September 30, 2009, which typically corresponds to the federal fiscal year cycle and suggests implementation was expected to begin soon after selection. The announcement anticipated a single recipient, indicating CDC was looking for one organization capable of implementing and coordinating a broad district-level package of HIV and AIDS support activities at meaningful scale.
Eligibility was broad and included many categories of U.S.-based and other standard eligible entities: state and local governments (including county, city/township, special district governments), federally recognized tribal governments and tribal organizations, public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), and for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profit entities). The announcement specifies that there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for applicants that may not have significant non-federal resources to contribute.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number CDC RFA PS09-931, the posted and creation date of March 31, 2009, and a closing date of May 29, 2009 (with the archived date listed as June 28, 2009). For applicants unable to access the full announcement electronically, CDC provided a point of contact through the Technical Information Management Section (PGOTMS) at 770-488-2700. Overall, the grant targets measurable improvements in district-level HIV program performance and service quality in South Africa, in close coordination with USG and SAG priorities under PEPFAR, funded at roughly $3.8 million for a single cooperative agreement award.
