Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement under PEPFAR focused on helping the Republic of Zambia strengthen and sustain its national response to HIV/AIDS through the Ministry of Health (MOH). The overall aim is to reinforce, expand, and make more durable the systems and services the MOH uses to prevent, detect, and treat HIV, while also building broader health system capacity. Rather than launching a new standalone initiative, the program is meant to complement and continue ongoing MOH public health activities, with an emphasis on supporting the government to lead, manage, and transition comprehensive, integrated HIV/AIDS and related health programs.
The work described centers on several interlocking pillars that are essential to a national HIV response. One pillar is strengthening the national monitoring and evaluation (M and E) system so the MOH can plan services based on evidence, track performance, measure outcomes, and report results reliably. This typically includes improving data collection and reporting workflows, enhancing data quality and verification, building capacity for data analysis and use at national and subnational levels, and ensuring information systems can support program management decisions. A second pillar is expanded surveillance capacity, which supports understanding of the epidemic over time, identifying gaps and emerging trends, and targeting interventions more effectively. A third pillar is laboratory infrastructure, which underpins HIV diagnosis and clinical monitoring and generally includes support for lab networks, quality assurance systems, equipment and maintenance planning, sample transport and referral systems, and workforce capacity to ensure consistent, accurate testing. The fourth pillar is support for pediatric and adult HIV care and support, reflecting the need for comprehensive clinical services across age groups, typically spanning testing linkages, treatment initiation and continuity, adherence support, and integration with other essential health services.
A key feature of the opportunity is that the funding is designed to provide direct support to the Zambia MOH to plan, implement, and monitor comprehensive integrated health services, and to build the institutional and workforce capacity needed to strengthen the overall health system. The language of transition is important here: the intent is to support movement toward government-led, sustainable implementation of integrated HIV and broader health programs, rather than relying indefinitely on parallel external systems. In practice, that usually means reinforcing MOH planning, governance, coordination, and implementation structures; strengthening human resources and management capacity; and embedding HIV services into routine health service delivery and national systems.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this opportunity was issued as a discretionary cooperative agreement in the health category, with an estimated total funding level of $50,000,000 and an expectation of one award. The CFDA number listed is 93.067 (Global AIDS). No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated. The opportunity was posted January 19, 2011, with the original closing date of March 22, 2011, a revised closing date of April 6, 2011, and an archive date of May 4, 2011.
Eligibility is unusual compared with open competitions because the announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications. Instead, it is a public notice of CDCs intention to fund the described activities without full and open competition. In other words, it functions as a notice of intent to make an award (or continue funding) to a specific partner or limited set of partners, rather than inviting a broad pool of applicants to compete. The eligible applicants field is labeled "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which aligns with the noncompetitive nature described in the listing.
For applicants or stakeholders trying to understand the practical implications, the most important takeaway is that this cooperative agreement is geared toward supporting Zambias MOH to run a comprehensive national HIV response supported by strong M and E, surveillance, and laboratory systems, alongside pediatric and adult care and support services. The mechanism emphasizes collaboration and substantial federal involvement typical of cooperative agreements, and the intent is continuity and strengthening of ongoing MOH-led public health work under PEPFAR rather than launching an open, competitive grant cycle. Contact for access issues is the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) at 770-488-2700, and the announcement notes that the "Full Announcement" referenced in the source system contains the complete details.
