Opportunity Summary:

This funding opportunity is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement issued under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) to support the training of HIV health care providers in the Republic of Botswana. The overall aim is to provide technical assistance that strengthens the Government of Botswana's capacity to deliver high-quality, long-term HIV care for people living with HIV. In practical terms, the award is intended to build and reinforce clinical and programmatic skills among health workers so Botswana can sustain effective HIV treatment and care services over time, rather than relying on short-term external support.

The announcement is identified as CDC RFA PS09-938, categorized as a discretionary health grant, and tied to CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS). The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing funds, such as collaborating on planning, monitoring, technical guidance, and performance improvement. The opportunity is open to a broad range of applicants (listed as unrestricted), with the expectation that applicants can credibly deliver provider training and technical assistance aligned with Botswana's national HIV program priorities and PEPFAR goals.

In terms of scale, the notice indicates an expectation of approximately one award. The financial figures provided in the source are somewhat inconsistent in different fields, but they outline a program of meaningful size: an estimated total funding level is listed as USD 16,500,000, while the anticipated award range is given with a floor of USD 1,000,000 and a ceiling of USD 3,300,000. The narrative text also states that approximately USD 1,300,000 would be available to fund approximately one award. Taken together, this suggests the solicitation anticipated a single major partner with a sizable budget, though the exact amount would depend on the final award decision and the approved project scope. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible.

Key logistics and timing are clearly defined. The opportunity was posted March 31, 2009, with an application deadline of May 28, 2009, by 5:00 pm Eastern Time. The estimated funding decision timing was prior to September 30, 2009. The listing also shows an archive date of June 27, 2009, indicating it was a time-limited solicitation for that funding cycle.

For applicants or interested parties needing the full program details, the announcement directs users to Grants.gov, and provides a point of contact through CDC's Procurement and Grants Office (PGO TIMS) via phone at 770-488-2700. The central purpose remains focused on strengthening Botswana's ability to train and maintain a capable HIV health workforce and, through that workforce development, improving the quality and sustainability of long-term HIV care for citizens living with HIV.
