Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (CDC RFA GH11-1111) is a PEPFAR-supported cooperative agreement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention focused on building a high-level, internationally accredited tertiary training center in South Africa. The core aim is workforce development: creating a formal, accredited postgraduate education platform that strengthens the skills and performance of health care workers dealing with the intertwined epidemics of HIV and tuberculosis, along with broader infection prevention and control needs. The center is envisioned not as a one-off training project but as a durable institution that can deliver standardized, high-quality instruction aligned with international expectations for accreditation and professional competency.
Programmatically, the center would educate a wide range of postgraduate health professionals, including clinicians and nurses as well as laboratory technicians, pharmacists, clinical associates, physiotherapists, and occupational health therapists. The topic areas are explicitly practical and system-oriented: TB/HIV clinical management and program delivery, Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) programming, and operational research. The operational research element signals an emphasis on training health workers and program leaders to generate and use evidence from real-world service settings, so that improvements are grounded in data and feasible within local constraints. In addition to formal instruction, the opportunity emphasizes creating a scientifically grounded, knowledge-driven environment where both service providers and service users are taught to act on scientifically based knowledge. In effect, the center is meant to strengthen the culture of evidence-based practice and informed decision-making across the health system, not only among clinicians but also among the broader service ecosystem.
From a funding and structure standpoint, this was offered as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically implies substantial federal program involvement during implementation (for example, collaboration on technical direction, monitoring, or performance expectations) rather than a purely hands-off grant. Only one award was anticipated. The total estimated funding level listed is $4,000,000, with an award ceiling and floor both stated as $600,000, indicating a fixed annual amount or a defined budget period amount per award action as presented in the listing. The CFDA number associated with this opportunity is 93.067 (Global AIDS). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of award.
Eligibility was broad and intentionally inclusive, spanning U.S. and non-U.S. entities and covering many organizational types that could credibly develop and operate an accredited training program. Eligible applicants included nonprofit organizations (with or without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and small/minority/women-owned businesses), public and private institutions of higher education, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and state, local, and tribal governments (including federally recognized and state recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments). The announcement also explicitly referenced non-domestic entities and specifically pointed to South African universities and medical schools as eligible, which aligns with the location and intent of establishing a center in South Africa. For applicants applying as a bona fide agent of a state or local government, documentation in the form of a letter from the government entity was required as part of the application submission.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on February 24, 2011, created on March 18, 2011, and closed on April 25, 2011, with an archive date of May 25, 2011, indicating it is no longer active. Applicants were directed to consult the full announcement for complete requirements, and CDC’s Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) was listed as the point of contact for help accessing the full announcement (phone: 770-488-2700). Overall, the opportunity is best understood as an effort to institutionalize advanced, accredited training and applied research capacity within South Africa’s health workforce pipeline, directly supporting PEPFAR priorities by improving the quality, safety, and effectiveness of TB/HIV-related services and infection control practices through structured education and evidence-driven program improvement.
