Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Technical Assistance to National AIDS Control Program (NACP) in India for Strategic Planning and Decision Making under the Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," was a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) discretionary grant competition issued as part of PEPFAR. The core idea was to support Indias National AIDS Control Program with targeted technical assistance that strengthens strategic planning and improves decision making, aligning CDC support with Indias national HIV strategy and the broader partnership framework in-country. The announcement emphasizes that, under the leadership of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, CDC works with host governments and other partners to assess country needs and then tailor assistance so it fits within the host nations own strategic plan rather than running as a standalone or disconnected effort.
The award mechanism was a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expected substantial involvement beyond simply providing funds, such as ongoing collaboration, joint planning, and technical engagement over the period of performance. The activity category was health, and it fell under CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility or award.
Funding levels indicate a program of notable scale overall but with moderate individual award size. The estimated total funding available was listed at $10,000,000, while the award ceiling for any single award was $500,000 and the award floor was $0. In practice, that combination usually signals that CDC anticipated making multiple awards (or multiple increments) to cover different pieces of technical assistance, specialized expertise, or geographic/programmatic needs, while still keeping each individual award within a defined cap.
The opportunity timeline reflects a relatively short submission window. It was posted on February 26, 2013. The original closing date was April 11, 2013, later extended to a current closing date of April 23, 2013. The archive date was May 11, 2013, which is when the opportunity was formally moved to an archived status after the competition period ended.
Eligibility was intentionally broad, covering a wide range of domestic and international organizations capable of delivering technical assistance in HIV program strategy, analytics, and decision support. Eligible applicants included nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and small, minority-, and women-owned businesses. Academic and research entities such as universities, colleges, research institutions, and hospitals were also eligible, along with community-based and faith-based organizations. Governmental and tribal entities were included as well: federally or state-recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments, tribally designated organizations, Alaska Native health corporations, urban Indian health organizations, tribal epidemiology centers, and state/local governments or their bona fide agents. The eligibility list also explicitly allowed non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities, which is important for work centered on India because it enables qualified local or international organizations to apply directly rather than only through U.S.-based intermediaries.
For applicants proposing to apply as a bona fide agent of a state or local government, the announcement required formal documentation: a legal, binding agreement from the relevant state or local government had to be attached in the application package (submitted through Grants.gov). This requirement is typical for ensuring that the applicant is truly authorized to apply on behalf of the government entity and to manage funds and responsibilities tied to that status.
Administratively, the sponsoring agency was the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The funding opportunity number was CDC-RFA-GH13-1362. For support accessing the full announcement or handling electronic submission issues, the point of contact was the CDC Procurement and Grants Office, Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), reachable by phone at 770-488-2700 or email at pgotim@cdc.gov.
