Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (CDC RFA PS09-986) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement focused on improving injection safety in the Republic of Kenya under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The overall goal is to reduce biomedical (healthcare-related) transmission of HIV and other blood-borne pathogens by cutting down on unsafe and unnecessary injections while ensuring that injections that are medically necessary can be delivered safely. In practical terms, the grant is aimed at strengthening the systems, practices, and supplies that make injection services safer for patients and healthcare workers, and at sustaining those improvements over time rather than treating them as short-term fixes.
The program is categorized as a discretionary health award and uses a cooperative agreement mechanism, which generally means CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the work beyond simply providing funds. While the brief synopsis does not list specific required activities, the title and purpose make clear that CDC is seeking partners who can help implement, expand, and sustain injection safety interventions in Kenya. This typically aligns with efforts such as promoting safer clinical practices, reducing overuse of injections when oral or other routes are appropriate, improving the availability and correct use of safe injection devices and supplies, supporting sharps waste management and disposal systems, and reinforcing training and supervision so safe practices become routine. Because the emphasis is on preventing transmission of HIV and other pathogens, the work sits squarely within infection prevention and control and patient safety, and it also supports broader PEPFAR prevention priorities by addressing risks that occur in healthcare settings.
In terms of funding, the total amount listed in the source data is an estimated total funding of $15,000,000, with an award ceiling of $1,000,000 and an award floor of $100,000. The narrative description also notes that approximately $3,000,000 would be available to fund approximately two awards, suggesting that CDC anticipated making a small number of sizable awards for intensive implementation support (the different figures likely reflect how funds were projected or structured across components or time periods in the broader announcement). The opportunity expected multiple awards (the source field lists expected awards as 3), indicating CDC planned to support more than one implementing partner. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers barriers for applicants that might not have non-federal funds to contribute.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full announcement. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 93.067 (Global AIDS), which ties the award to CDC's global HIV/AIDS work and the PEPFAR framework. The posting date was March 30, 2009, and applications were due by May 28, 2009 at 5:00 PM Eastern Time, with an estimated funding date prior to September 30, 2009. The listing points applicants to Grants.gov for the full announcement and indicates that CDC's Procurement and Grants Office (PGO TIMS) could be contacted by phone (770-488-2700) for assistance accessing the full materials.
Overall, this opportunity can be understood as CDC seeking capable partners to help Kenya reduce preventable infections linked to medical injections by improving both behavior (clinical decision-making and technique) and enabling systems (availability of appropriate supplies, policies, training, monitoring, and safe disposal). The intended outcome is a measurable reduction in unsafe injection practices and injection overuse, alongside stronger, sustainable injection safety infrastructure that supports long-term prevention of HIV and other blood-borne infections in healthcare settings.
