Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, CDC RFA PS09-940, was a discretionary funding announcement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). It focused on South Africa and was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the funded organization would not simply receive money to run a project independently, but would be expected to work closely with CDC through ongoing collaboration, guidance, and technical input over the life of the award. The overall activity area was public health, specifically within the global HIV/AIDS portfolio (CFDA 93.067, Global AIDS).
The core purpose of the program was to strengthen and expand HIV and AIDS peer education prevention programs in the Republic of South Africa by improving the quality, consistency, and reach of peer education approaches. Rather than primarily paying for direct service delivery at a large scale, the announcement emphasized training, continuous technical assistance, and capacity building for both PEPFAR-funded partners and non-PEPFAR partners. In practical terms, the funded recipient would be expected to help organizations and implementers become better equipped to design, adapt, and use peer education materials and tools that fit different environments and audiences.
A central content focus of the peer education materials was "abstinence and being faithful" (often abbreviated as AB) HIV prevention messaging across multiple settings. Alongside AB messaging, the program also aimed to address broader sexually transmitted infection prevention, described in the announcement as "other STI prevention" (OSP), again across multiple settings. The repeated reference to "multiple settings" signals that the tools and training were meant to be adaptable and usable in a range of contexts, such as community programs, schools, youth groups, workplace initiatives, or other organized prevention environments, rather than being tailored to only one type of venue.
Funding was relatively targeted and limited to a single major award. The estimated total funding available was approximately $810,000, with an expected number of awards listed as one. The award floor was $810,000 and the award ceiling was $1,000,000, indicating CDC anticipated a grant in roughly that range, with about $810,000 being the most likely amount based on the forecast summary. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any type of entity as long as it met any requirements described in the full text of the announcement. Key timeline dates included a posted date of March 18, 2009, and an application closing date of May 18, 2009, with the opportunity later archived on June 17, 2009. The estimated funding decision and award timing was stated as prior to September 30, 2009, aligning with the federal fiscal year end.
For applicants or interested parties who could not access the full announcement electronically, CDC directed them to contact the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), providing a phone number (770-488-2700). Overall, the opportunity was designed to build prevention capacity in South Africa by improving peer-led education systems, strengthening partner skills through training and technical support, and ensuring peer education tools addressed both AB-focused HIV prevention and additional STI prevention needs across varied real-world settings.
