Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (CDC RFA GH13-1329) is a CDC-issued PEPFAR cooperative agreement focused on strengthening HIV treatment and prevention services in the Republic of Zimbabwe through technical assistance that emphasizes clinical training and mentoring. Operating under the leadership of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, the program sits within the broader PEPFAR approach where CDC works alongside the host country and key partners to assess country-specific needs and then tailor support so it aligns with Zimbabwe's national strategic plan and the existing partnership framework. In practice, the core idea is not just to fund service delivery in isolation, but to build and reinforce the clinical capacity and systems that make high-quality HIV care and prevention sustainable, consistent, and scalable across the health sector.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the CDC expects substantial involvement during implementation, such as joint planning, ongoing technical direction, performance monitoring, and coordination with other PEPFAR investments. The activity category is health, and the relevant CFDA number is 93.067 (Global AIDS). The announcement anticipated a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1), suggesting CDC intended to select one primary implementer to coordinate or lead the technical assistance effort, likely in close collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Child Care and other national stakeholders, while also working with existing clinical sites and implementing partners.
In terms of funding scale, the opportunity listed an estimated total funding amount of $50,000,000, with an award ceiling of $6,900,000 and no stated minimum (award floor: $0). This combination often signals that funding may be planned across multiple budget periods or supported through incremental allocations, with the ceiling reflecting a maximum amount available per budget period or per award under the agreement, depending on CDCs structure for that specific notice. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants would not be required to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive, although many programs still value leveraged resources and strong coordination with other investments.
Eligibility was broad and included a wide range of U.S. and non-U.S. entities. Eligible applicants included nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations (including small businesses and small/minority/women-owned businesses), universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and multiple categories of tribal governments and tribal health organizations. State and local governments and their bona fide agents were also eligible, including U.S. territories and affiliated jurisdictions, and importantly the announcement explicitly permitted non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities to apply. This broad eligibility profile fits a technical assistance and capacity-building award, where the best-positioned implementer could be an academic medical center, a global health NGO, a local organization with deep Zimbabwe clinical networks, or a consortium anchored by an entity capable of managing large-scale mentoring and training programs.
Key dates show the announcement was posted and created on January 15, 2013, with an original and current closing date of April 1, 2013, and an archive date of May 1, 2013. That timeline indicates a roughly two-and-a-half-month application window. Because it is now archived, it is no longer open for applications, but it remains useful as a reference for the type of work CDC and PEPFAR sought to support in Zimbabwe at that time: systematic clinical training and mentorship to improve quality and coverage of HIV treatment and prevention services, tailored to national priorities and implemented in partnership with the host government and other stakeholders.
