Opportunity Summary:
This CDC funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC-RFA-PS09-934) is a President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) cooperative agreement aimed at improving HIV care and HIV/TB co-infection management in Botswana by strengthening the in-service training capacity of the Government of Botswana. The core idea is not simply to deliver one-off trainings, but to provide sustained technical assistance that helps Botswana build and maintain a high-quality, long-term, chronic care system for people living with HIV, including those affected by tuberculosis alongside HIV. In practice, the project is centered on improving the skills, consistency, and clinical performance of health care providers through structured, ongoing training support, with the broader goal of improving patient outcomes and the reliability of HIV and HIV/TB services over time.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expects substantial involvement in the project beyond standard grant monitoring. While the public summary does not list specific activities, a cooperative agreement in this context usually implies close collaboration with CDC and local government stakeholders to design, implement, and continuously improve provider training approaches. The emphasis on "technical assistance" suggests that the recipient would likely be expected to work alongside Botswana's health leadership and training institutions to strengthen systems: updating and standardizing curricula, supporting training-of-trainers models, improving mentorship and supportive supervision, and reinforcing quality improvement processes that translate training into day-to-day clinical practice. Because the focus is on chronic care, the intent is to help providers manage HIV as a long-term condition, including monitoring, adherence support, treatment management, and integrated care for common co-morbidities like TB.
Financially, CDC anticipated a single award of exactly USD 2,166,350, with the award ceiling and floor both listed at USD 2,166,350, indicating a fixed expected budget level for the one recipient. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The program falls under the health activity category and is tied to CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS), aligning it directly with U.S. global HIV/AIDS programming under PEPFAR.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning any type of entity could apply (subject to any clarifications in the full announcement), which can include universities, non-profits, for-profits, governments, and other organizations with relevant capacity. The opportunity was posted March 31, 2009, with applications due by May 28, 2009, at 5:00 pm Eastern Time. The estimated award date was prior to September 30, 2009. The announcement was made available through Grants.gov, and applicants who could not access the full details electronically were directed to contact CDC's Procurement and Grants Office (PGO TIMS) by phone at 770-488-2700.
Overall, the opportunity targets a very specific outcome: strengthening Botswana's ability to deliver high-quality HIV and HIV/TB care by improving and institutionalizing in-service training and related technical support for health care providers. The scale of funding and the single-award structure suggest CDC intended to select one implementing partner capable of coordinating training technical assistance at a national or near-national level, working closely with the Government of Botswana to improve consistency and quality of clinical care across the health system.
