Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (CDC-RFA-GH13-1350) is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement under the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). Its purpose is to provide technical assistance in the Republic of Zambia to speed up progress toward eliminating mother-to-child transmission (EMTCT) of HIV and to strengthen efforts that keep children HIV-free and surviving. The program sits under the leadership of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator and reflects the PEPFAR model of working closely with host governments and partners to identify country needs and deliver tailored support that aligns with the host country's national HIV strategy and broader partnership framework.
The award is positioned as a discretionary public health funding opportunity in the "Health" activity category, using a cooperative agreement mechanism. A cooperative agreement generally indicates substantial involvement by the CDC during implementation, meaning the recipient is expected to work in close coordination with CDC on technical direction, planning, monitoring, and problem-solving. The focus on technical assistance suggests that the funded activities are meant to strengthen systems, programs, and service delivery quality rather than simply financing routine service provision. In practical terms, this can include improving clinical and program practices that prevent HIV transmission during pregnancy, delivery, and breastfeeding; strengthening maternal, newborn, and child health services that intersect with HIV programs; improving early infant diagnosis and treatment linkages; and improving data systems and monitoring approaches that track outcomes like HIV-free child survival.
Funding details indicate an estimated total of $50,000,000 with an award ceiling of $10,000,000 and an award floor of $0, with CDC expecting to make two awards. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching, which reduces the financial burden on applicants and can broaden participation among organizations that may not have flexible funds to contribute. The posting date was January 28, 2013, with an original and current closing date of April 12, 2013, and an archive date of May 12, 2013.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of U.S. and non-U.S. entities. Eligible applicants listed include nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education under those nonprofit categories), for-profit organizations (other than small business), 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) are also eligible, including U.S. territories and freely associated states listed in the announcement. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities are explicitly eligible as well, which is particularly relevant for work in Zambia because it allows local or regional organizations to compete. For applicants submitting as a bona fide agent of a state or local government, the notice specifies that a legal, binding agreement documenting that status must be provided as part of the application package.
The overall program description emphasizes CDC's role, alongside host countries and key partners, in assessing country-specific needs and designing a customized package of assistance that fits within Zambia's strategic plan and partnership framework. That framing signals that strong applications would likely demonstrate deep understanding of Zambia's EMTCT and pediatric HIV context, show how proposed technical assistance integrates with national plans and existing health systems, and outline how the applicant would coordinate with government and implementing partners to improve performance, quality, and measurable outcomes related to preventing pediatric HIV infections and supporting child survival.
For administrative support or access issues, the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management unit is the listed contact point, reachable by telephone at (770) 488-2700 or by email at pgotim@cdc.gov.
