About this opportunity
This Federal Grant Opportunity seeks to strengthen the laboratory systems and health systems capacity of Botswana's Ministry of Health (MOH) to effectively manage and sustain a quality HIV/TB program under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is issuing this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to support activities that improve viral load testing coverage, early infant diagnosis services, laboratory accreditation, quality improvement programs, and biosafety/biosecurity measures. The program aims to help Botswana achieve the UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets by addressing gaps in laboratory diagnostics, quality systems, and outbreak management. Eligible applicants include a wide range of public, private, non-profit, and commercial organizations. A 15-point preference will be given to local partners meeting PEPFAR's definition.
The anticipated Year 1 funding for this 5-year cooperative agreement is $2,000,000, with the possibility of 1-3 awards. This opportunity falls under CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS Program) administered by the Department of Health and Human Services. The application deadline is February 19, 2025, with a planned start date of September 30, 2025. The program will be implemented in Botswana.
Synopsis
The Award Ceiling for Year 1 is 0 (none). CDC anticipates an Approximate Total Fiscal Year Funding amount of $3,000,000 for Year 1, subject to the availability of funds.This NOFO aims to strengthen MOH health systems to manage and sustain quality HIV/TB programs. This NOFO will also support the MOH in building capacity to address gaps in laboratory diagnostics, quality management systems, and Botswana Public Health Institute (BPHI) outbreak management. Activities will result in high-quality sustainable HIV-related laboratory-based testing and point of care testing (POCT), resilient laboratory systems capable of responding to HIV/TB and related public health threats, and quality management systems for continuous quality improvement (CQI) of HIV/TB-related activities. This NOFO is expected to support international accreditation of selected laboratories and ensure laboratories and testing sites adhere to national policies and guidelines. This NOFO will support the sustainability of laboratory service capacity through surveillance for timely intervention, multi-disease testing, and HIV/TB resource use through adaptation of activities by local entities.
