Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (CDC RFA PS09-961) is a CDC discretionary funding announcement issued as a cooperative agreement to provide targeted technical assistance to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) in support of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The focus is on strengthening how HIV/AIDS-related services for mothers, children, and families are implemented and evaluated, with particular emphasis on prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT), pediatric HIV care and treatment, and the protection and support of children affected by AIDS. In practical terms, the funding is meant to help UNICEF apply specialized expertise to improve program rollout, monitor performance, assess impact, and refine approaches based on evidence and program data.
The CDC anticipated making one award using approximately USD 400,000 in fiscal year 2009, with an award floor of USD 400,000 and an award ceiling listed at USD 2,000,000. The opportunity is categorized under Health, tied to CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS), and it does not require cost sharing or matching. The estimated award timing was prior to September 30, 2009, aligning with FY2009 funding cycles and PEPFAR programming timelines. Because it is a cooperative agreement, CDC would be expected to have substantial involvement in the work in comparison to a standard grant, typically meaning closer collaboration on technical direction, planning, and performance expectations.
Eligibility is highly restricted: UNICEF is the only organization eligible to apply. The announcement explicitly lists the eligible applicant as UNICEF, indicating this opportunity was designed as a targeted vehicle to fund UNICEF to carry out specific technical assistance functions rather than an open competition among multiple entities. The original and final application due date was May 29, 2009, with posting dated April 14, 2009, and an archive date of June 28, 2009.
For applicants and stakeholders seeking the full details, CDC noted that while the opportunity title appeared on the CDC funding opportunities page, the complete program announcement and requirements were hosted on Grants.gov.
