Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Technical Assistance for the Transition of Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Programs and Medical Education to Ethiopia under the Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief," is a CDC cooperative agreement created under the broader umbrella of the U.S. Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The core purpose is to support Ethiopia in strengthening and taking greater ownership of comprehensive HIV/AIDS programs and related medical education efforts, using targeted technical assistance aligned with Ethiopia's national strategies. In practice, that means CDC, working under the leadership of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, intends to collaborate with the host country and other partners to assess needs on the ground and implement a tailored package of support that fits within Ethiopia's existing strategic plan and partnership framework rather than operating as a stand-alone, externally driven project.
The mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which signals that CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the program's direction and oversight compared with a typical grant. This generally reflects an approach where the awardee and CDC work closely on planning, implementation, monitoring, and adjustments over time, especially for complex health system transition and capacity-building efforts. The funding activity category is health, and the CFDA number listed is 93.067 (Global AIDS), tying it directly to U.S. global HIV/AIDS assistance programming.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $44,000,000, with an award ceiling of $8,000,000 and an award floor of $0. The posting date was January 28, 2013, the creation date was February 1, 2013, and the application closing date was April 8, 2013 (with the archive date of May 8, 2013), indicating it was a time-bound competitive opportunity that has since closed and been archived. CDC anticipated making a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1), which suggests a preference for a lead implementing partner capable of coordinating a broad set of technical assistance activities and working across multiple stakeholders, potentially including government entities, training institutions, and service delivery sites.
Eligibility was intentionally broad. CDC opened the competition to many organizational types, including nonprofits (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), for-profit organizations (including small, minority-, and women-owned businesses), universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, tribal entities and tribal health organizations, as well as state and local governments and their bona fide agents (including U.S. territories and affiliated jurisdictions). Importantly, the announcement also allowed non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities to apply, which is especially relevant for an Ethiopia-focused program where local or regional organizations may be positioned to lead or co-lead transition activities. The announcement explicitly states there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, reducing barriers for applicants that might otherwise struggle to contribute non-federal funds.
At a high level, the program emphasis is "transition" and "medical education" alongside comprehensive HIV/AIDS programming. Transition typically implies moving from externally supported implementation toward increased host-country leadership, institutional capacity, and sustainability. In a PEPFAR context, that often includes strengthening governance, planning, and management; improving the quality and continuity of HIV prevention, care, and treatment services; building local clinical and public health workforce capacity; and improving systems for monitoring, evaluation, and use of data for decision-making. The medical education component points toward activities such as curriculum support, clinical mentorship models, continuing professional development, and strengthening pre-service and in-service training structures so that HIV-related competencies are embedded in Ethiopia's own training and service delivery systems over the long term.
The awarding agency is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. For applicants or stakeholders who needed help accessing the full announcement at the time, the listed point of contact was CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management, reachable by phone at (770) 488-2700 or via email at pgotim@cdc.gov.
