The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is forecasting a cooperative agreement opportunity aimed at strengthening the integrated HIV and STI tiered laboratory network in India under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). This initiative seeks to support the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) in enhancing laboratory systems, ensuring high-quality diagnostic services, optimizing diagnostic networks, and addressing emerging needs such as molecular epidemiology and HIV drug resistance testing. The estimated total funding for the first year is approximately $1,000,000, with two awards anticipated, and applications must be submitted electronically by February 17, 2025, to be considered.
