Opportunity Summary:

This grant opportunity (CDC RFA PS10-1090) is a CDC discretionary funding announcement under PEPFAR that was set up to support Ukraine in strengthening key public health systems used to control and monitor HIV/AIDS. The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expects to stay actively involved with the recipient through technical guidance, collaboration on work planning, and ongoing oversight rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The overall purpose is to improve the Ministry of Healths ability to respond to the HIV epidemic by building stronger national systems in four linked areas: monitoring and evaluation (M and E), surveillance, blood safety, and laboratory infrastructure.

In practical terms, the opportunity focuses on improving how Ukraine collects, manages, analyzes, and uses HIV-related data for decision-making. Strengthening an M and E system generally involves standardizing indicators, improving data flow from service delivery sites up to national levels, building data quality assurance processes, training staff to interpret results, and ensuring that the information produced is actually used to guide policy and program improvements. Alongside M and E, the announcement emphasizes surveillance, which usually refers to organized systems for tracking HIV trends, risk patterns, and the epidemiology of the epidemic over time. That can include improving routine case reporting, sentinel surveillance, behavioral surveillance, and integrating surveillance findings into planning for prevention and treatment services.

A major pillar of the announcement is support for the National Blood Transfusion Services, with the aim of protecting the blood supply and reducing transmission risks through transfusion. Work in this area often includes strengthening policies and oversight for donor screening, improving quality management systems, ensuring consistent testing algorithms, upgrading procedures for collection and storage, and reinforcing training and supervision across blood service facilities. The blood safety component is closely connected to laboratory capacity, since accurate screening depends on reliable lab infrastructure, quality control, and standardized protocols.

The laboratory infrastructure strengthening element is intended to improve the overall capability and reliability of the public health laboratory network supporting HIV programs and related services. This commonly involves investments in equipment, maintenance systems, procurement and supply chain practices for reagents and consumables, quality assurance and external quality assessment participation, biosafety improvements, standard operating procedures, and workforce development for lab personnel. By improving laboratory systems, the Ministry of Health can better support HIV testing, confirmatory diagnostics, and monitoring functions that underpin both prevention and treatment efforts.

Funding details indicate that approximately 3,000,000 USD was expected to be available in fiscal year 2010 to support a single award, while the estimated total funding amount listed is 15,000,000 USD, suggesting the possibility of a multi-year cooperative agreement with funding allocated across budget periods depending on performance, availability of funds, and program priorities. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The program is tied to CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS), reflecting its alignment with PEPFAR and broader US government global HIV/AIDS objectives.

Eligibility in the posted data points specifically to the National Committee on AIDS/TB and Other Socially Dangerous Diseases in Kyiv, Ukraine, indicating that this opportunity was highly targeted rather than broadly competed among many types of applicants. Administrative details show the announcement was posted on January 27, 2010, with an original closing date of March 30, 2010 that was later extended to May 17, 2010, and it was archived on June 14, 2010. The sponsoring agency is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the contact provided for access issues was the CDC Procurement and Grants Office TIMS line.
