Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), is designed to strengthen how eleven Caribbean Partnership Framework (PF) countries plan, run, and oversee their national HIV and AIDS responses. The core idea is that better outcomes in HIV programs are not driven only by clinical services and commodities, but also by the quality of leadership, management, and program administration behind those services. To address that gap, CDC proposes supporting a Caribbean regional educational institution to deliver structured leadership and management training targeted at health professionals who are positioned to influence national HIV and AIDS programs.
The announcement points to real-world evidence from the region to justify the investment. It specifically notes that management improvements in national HIV and AIDS programs in Barbados and Dominica have already demonstrated the value of this type of training, citing 17 graduates in Barbados and 6 graduates in Dominica from a leadership initiative (referenced as CHLI). The implication is that these graduates helped strengthen program leadership and day-to-day management in ways that improved national response capacity. CDC is essentially looking to expand or replicate those gains across other Caribbean PF countries by building a pipeline of trained public health leaders who can manage HIV programming more effectively, sustain results, and respond to evolving epidemic and health-system challenges.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which is a type of federal assistance that typically involves substantial involvement from the funding agency compared with a standard grant. In practice, that often means CDC expects to work closely with the recipient on technical direction, performance monitoring, and alignment with PEPFAR priorities, rather than simply providing funds and receiving periodic reports. The activity category is health, and the CFDA listing is 93.067 (Global AIDS), clearly situating the award within the U.S. government HIV response portfolio.
Funding for the opportunity is modest but meaningful for a regional training program. The estimated total funding is USD 1,200,000, with an award ceiling of USD 400,000 and no stated award floor (USD 0), which suggests there may be multiple awards or that awards could vary depending on the proposed scope and budget. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award, which can make participation more feasible for institutions that do not have large discretionary resources.
Eligibility is broad and inclusive, covering a wide range of potential implementing organizations. Eligible applicants include nonprofits (with or without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit entities (other than small business), small/minority/women-owned businesses, universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, tribal governments and tribal health entities, and state/local governments (including U.S. territories and affiliated jurisdictions). Importantly for a Caribbean-focused program, the eligibility list also includes non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities. The announcement also notes that state or local governments may apply through a bona fide agent, but doing so requires a legal, binding agreement documenting that status as part of the application package.
From an operational standpoint, the opportunity was posted on March 6, 2013, created on April 9, 2013, and had an original closing date of April 12, 2013, later extended to April 16, 2013. The archive date is May 12, 2013, which indicates the opportunity is historical and no longer open, but the details remain useful for understanding the program model CDC sought to support and the type of organizational capacity it prioritized at that time.
Overall, this FOA is about improving HIV outcomes indirectly but powerfully by investing in people and institutions: building leadership and management capability among health professionals who can run national HIV programs more strategically, allocate resources more intelligently, supervise program delivery more consistently, use data for decision-making, and coordinate across partners. The training is meant to be delivered by a Caribbean regional educational institution, which signals an emphasis on regionally grounded expertise, sustainability, and relevance to local health systems and cultural contexts rather than relying solely on external training providers.
For technical assistance or access issues related to the full announcement (as described in the notice), CDC provided a point of contact through its Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) at 770-488-2700 or pgotim@cdc.gov.
