Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (CDC RFA PS10-10102) is a discretionary cooperative agreement issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS). It is tied to the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and focuses specifically on strengthening Rwanda's ability to deliver high-quality HIV/AIDS and broader health services through long-term public health workforce and institutional capacity development. The program was posted on February 17, 2010, closed on April 19, 2010, and was later archived on May 19, 2010.
The core purpose of the award is to support the National University of Rwanda School of Public Health (SPH) so it can provide stronger, more relevant pre-service and in-service training, along with improved research capabilities. The intent is not only to train individuals, but to reinforce SPH as a national platform for generating and applying evidence that improves planning, management, and service delivery across the health sector. A central theme is enabling evidence-based decision-making and helping Rwanda transition PEPFAR Phase II activities more smoothly into sustainable, locally owned systems within the national health sector.
The opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expects to have substantial involvement in technical direction, coordination, or oversight rather than simply providing funding with minimal engagement. In practical terms, that structure is commonly used when the funder anticipates close collaboration with the recipient to ensure the training, research, and implementation support align with national strategies, PEPFAR goals, and evolving public health priorities.
Eligibility is highly restricted. The announcement states that SPH is the only entity designated by the Government of Rwanda to provide the health sector with master's and doctoral level public health specialists across key disciplines. These disciplines include epidemiology, biostatistics, health policy and information systems, reproductive health, health economics, environmental health and behavioral change, and public health program management. In other words, the award is designed to invest in the country-designated institution responsible for producing advanced public health professionals, rather than opening competition broadly to multiple universities or NGOs.
Funding details indicate CDC anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding level of $6,000,000 for the overall project period (as presented in the summary). The listed annual or per-award ceiling is $755,000, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). The announcement also specifies there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, reducing barriers related to recipient co-financing. Because only one award was expected, the design signals a single-institution capacity-building partnership intended to function at national scale, rather than a set of smaller grants distributed across multiple entities.
While the short synopsis in the source text ends mid-sentence, it clearly indicates that CDC, SPH, and the Rwanda Ministry of Health jointly identified key support areas to be addressed through the cooperative agreement. Based on the stated objectives, those areas center on improving the quality and relevance of public health education and continuing professional development, strengthening research and analytic capabilities, and ensuring that training and evidence generation directly support program planning and service delivery improvements for HIV/AIDS and related health priorities. The emphasis on "pre- and in-service training" suggests the project targets both students entering the workforce (degree programs) and existing health workers and managers (short courses, mentorship, applied learning), helping build a pipeline of skilled professionals while also upgrading the capabilities of the current system.
For administrative support, the announcement provides a CDC grants contact point (PGO TIMS grants) via phone at 770-488-2700 and a general email, primarily for assistance accessing the full announcement materials.
