Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (CDC RFA GH13-1368) is a CDC cooperative agreement designed to provide technical assistance services to countries that receive support through the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and the Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. The central idea is that CDC, operating under the leadership of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, partners with host-country governments and other key stakeholders to assess each country's specific public health needs and then tailor assistance to match that country's national strategic plan and existing partnership framework. In practice, that means the work is meant to be demand-driven and country-specific rather than one-size-fits-all, with CDC and partners shaping support around what the host nation has identified as priorities for HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria programming and system strengthening.
The mechanism is a discretionary cooperative agreement in the health funding category (CFDA 93.067, Global AIDS). A cooperative agreement typically signals substantial federal involvement compared with a standard grant, so awardees should expect active collaboration with CDC on planning, implementation approaches, and performance oversight. The opportunity anticipated up to five awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000,000. The listed award ceiling is $15,000,000, and the award floor is $0, which generally indicates CDC did not set a strict minimum award size and that budgets could vary depending on the scope and country needs addressed by an applicant's proposal. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is broad and spans many organizational types, reflecting the wide range of technical assistance capabilities that might be needed for global HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria programs. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in those specific nonprofit categories), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), small/minority/women-owned businesses, universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and a wide set of tribal entities and tribal health organizations (including tribal governments, tribally designated organizations, Alaska Native health corporations, urban Indian health organizations, and tribal epidemiology centers). State and local governments and their bona fide agents are also eligible, including U.S. territories and freely associated states listed in the announcement, and political subdivisions of states (in consultation with states). Non-U.S. (non-domestic) entities are explicitly eligible as well, which aligns with the international focus of PEPFAR- and Global Fund-supported country work.
Key dates show the announcement was posted and created on January 24, 2013, with an original and current closing date of March 18, 2013, and an archive date of April 17, 2013. The administering agency is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the notice directs them to CDC's Procurement and Grants Office, Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), reachable by phone at 770-488-2703 or by email at pgotim@cdc.gov.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a large-scale, multi-award technical assistance vehicle supporting CDC's work with PEPFAR and Global Fund partner countries. It emphasizes coordinated planning with national governments and partners, tailoring support to country strategies, and implementing assistance through close collaboration with CDC under a cooperative agreement structure.
