About this opportunity

This federal grant opportunity is a cooperative agreement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Division of Global HIV and Tuberculosis to provide technical assistance (TA) to the Botswana Ministry of Health (MOH) to implement HIV and TB programs under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The cooperative agreement aims to strengthen Botswana's HIV/TB response by addressing gaps across the clinical and prevention cascade, including targeted HIV diagnosis, care and treatment, TB screening and management, HIV prevention interventions, integration of non-communicable diseases, and cervical cancer screening. The opportunity is open to a wide range of applicant types, including non-profits, educational institutions, tribal organizations, and businesses. CDC will evaluate applications based on the applicant's ability to deliver tailored TA to the Botswana MOH and qualify as a PEPFAR local partner, with applications due by February 19, 2025.

The total anticipated funding for Year 1 is $8.5 million, with CDC expecting to make 1-3 cooperative agreement awards for five 12-month budget periods. The successful recipient(s) will be required to implement the programs in Botswana, and those that qualify as PEPFAR local partners will receive an additional 30 points in the selection process.
