About this opportunity
The Department of Health and Human Services, through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is seeking applicants for a cooperative agreement to strengthen Kenya's health system by developing sustainable, accessible, integrated, and quality laboratory systems for HIV/TB and related health threats under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). Key strategies include implementing quality assurance programs, strengthening sample referral systems, optimizing diagnostic networks, enhancing equipment efficiency, leveraging information systems, and ensuring adherence to biosafety and infection prevention standards. The evaluation criteria focus on the applicant's approach (35 points), organizational capacity (40 points), and data/evaluation plans (25 points), with an additional 30 points available for organizations meeting PEPFAR local partner criteria. Applications are due by February 20, 2025.
The CDC anticipates awarding 1-2 cooperative agreements totaling approximately $6 million for the first year, with a five-year period of performance starting September 30, 2025. The program will be funded under CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS) and aims to support Kenya's journey towards stronger, more responsive laboratory systems capable of meeting current and future health challenges.
