Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (CDC RFA PS09-9120) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention cooperative agreement issued under the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) to strengthen Zambia's national capacity to prevent, monitor, and respond to HIV/AIDS. The overall aim is to enhance the Government of the Republic of Zambia's ability to manage the HIV/AIDS crisis by improving core public health systems and service delivery, especially in areas that support evidence-based decision-making and high-quality patient care.
The program focuses on three closely linked areas: (1) support for the national government monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system, (2) strengthening surveillance and laboratory infrastructure, and (3) improving pediatric and adult HIV care and support. In practical terms, this means helping Zambia build stronger national data systems and reporting processes so HIV program performance can be tracked reliably, improving disease surveillance so trends and outbreaks can be detected earlier, and ensuring laboratories have the capacity, quality systems, and infrastructure needed to support HIV diagnosis and ongoing clinical management. Alongside those system-level improvements, the opportunity also supports direct HIV care and support services for both children and adults, which typically includes clinical follow-up, treatment support, and related health system functions needed to maintain effective care.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement by CDC during implementation compared with a standard grant. That involvement often takes the form of technical assistance, collaborative planning, and ongoing performance and compliance monitoring to help ensure the work aligns with PEPFAR and CDC priorities and meets expected public health standards.
Funding is described as supporting approximately four awards, with an anticipated award ceiling of about $4,525,000 per award and an award floor of $1,000,000. The announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $50,000,000, suggesting a broader funding envelope for the initiative, while the ceiling and expected number of awards indicate the likely size range for individual recipients under this competition. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not expected to contribute a required amount of non-federal funds as a condition of award.
Eligibility is limited and Zambia-specific. The eligible applicants are Zambian hospitals, research institutions, and statutory boards that have an official mandate from a Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) agency. In other words, the competition is geared toward national or locally mandated institutions positioned to work directly with government systems and priorities, rather than a wide-open global competition.
Key administrative details include: the opportunity category is discretionary, the funding activity category is health, and the CFDA number is 93.067 (Global AIDS). The announcement was posted March 31, 2009, with an application deadline of May 28, 2009 at 5:00 PM Eastern Time, and an archive date of June 27, 2009. The CDC estimated the funding decision or award timing to occur prior to September 30, 2009. Applicants were directed to the full posting on Grants.gov for complete requirements, scope, and application instructions, and the contact point for assistance accessing the full announcement was CDC's Procurement and Grants Office TIMS (phone 770-488-2700, general email referenced in the notice).
