Synopsis
The Award Ceiling for Year 1 is 0 (none). CDC anticipates an Approximate Total Fiscal Year Funding amount of $1,500,000 for Year 1, subject to the availability of funds.Access to high-quality laboratory diagnostic services is key to the success of public health programs designed to address HIV, TB, and related testing.Over the years, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has provided targeted technical assistance to laboratories in the Caribbean region. This work strengthened laboratory systems and services, including capacity building of laboratory staff and the accreditation of twelve public health laboratories.Despite these achievements, there is still work to achieve efficient and sustainable laboratory systems. Increased support is needed to build and sustain laboratory capacity and improve timely diagnostics, monitoring services, and scale-up of care and treatment programs for HIV, TB, STIs, and related diseases.This NOFO builds on CDC's previous work and lessons learned from our work with Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago's ministries of health (MOHs), with a focus on:Supporting and achieving accreditation of public health laboratories in the region.Strengthening the laboratory workforce through in-service training.Supporting laboratory information system expansion and integration with health information systems.Strengthening HIV/TB-related testing and diagnostic capacity for opportunistic infections.Building efficient laboratory programs to support HIV-related diagnostic and monitoring services in PEPFAR-supported countries in the region.
