Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under PEPFAR, focuses on expanding and strengthening a comprehensive, integrated package of HIV prevention interventions in selected districts in Uganda. The core aim is to build on existing PEPFAR-supported district-wide, door-to-door HIV Counseling and Testing (HCT) programs in areas with notably high HIV prevalence (around 8 percent). The districts specifically referenced include Kalangala, Mubende, Mityana, Luwero, Nakaseke, Wakiso, Nakasongola, and Apac, though the scope is not strictly limited to only those locations. The announcement emphasizes that these districts were chosen because the door-to-door model is already in place and provides a strong platform for scaling up additional prevention services in a coordinated way.
A major theme of the opportunity is the value of door-to-door HCT as a practical, community-based prevention strategy. By bringing confidential counseling and testing directly to households, the model can reach couples and families who might not otherwise access facility-based services. The announcement highlights several prevention benefits associated with this approach, including the identification of sero-discordant couples (where one partner is HIV-positive and the other is HIV-negative), improved disclosure of HIV status within relationships, and reductions in stigma linked to testing and HIV care. These outcomes are framed as key mechanisms through which door-to-door HCT can contribute to meaningful HIV prevention impact at the community level. The notice also points out that some districts have already established post-test clubs for HIV-positive clients and discordant couples through these door-to-door programs, suggesting an interest in strengthening follow-up support, peer engagement, and ongoing prevention behaviors after testing.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning CDC would expect substantial involvement in program direction, coordination, or technical support rather than simply providing funds with minimal interaction. The total estimated funding for the program is $15,000,000, with an expectation of two awards. Individual awards are projected to range from $800,000 (floor) to $1,600,000 (ceiling). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for applicants that may not be able to contribute additional non-federal resources.
The eligible applicant pool is intentionally broad. It includes public and private nonprofit organizations, for-profit entities (including small, minority-, and women-owned businesses), universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and a variety of government entities. Eligibility also extends to federally recognized tribal organizations and related tribal public health entities, as well as state and local governments and their bona fide agents. Non-U.S. (non-domestic) entities are also eligible, which is especially relevant given the program focus in Uganda. For applicants applying as a bona fide agent on behalf of a state or local government, the announcement specifies that documentation (a letter from the relevant government) must be included as proof of that status when submitting through Grants.gov.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on February 16, 2010, with an application deadline of April 15, 2010, and an archive date of May 15, 2010. The funding is associated with CFDA number 93.067 (Global AIDS). For support accessing the full announcement, the contact listed is PGO TIMS grants at 770-488-2700, with a general email also referenced. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as an effort to leverage and expand an already-established, household-based HIV testing platform in high-prevalence Ugandan districts, then connect those testing gains to broader, integrated prevention services and ongoing support structures such as post-test clubs, especially for HIV-positive individuals and discordant couples.
