Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH16 1613
This funding opportunity, CDC RFA GH16-1613, is a PEPFAR-supported cooperative agreement focused on strengthening the Democratic Republic of Congo Ministry of Health (MOH) strategic information (SI) capacity for HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment programs. The central aim is to improve how HIV program data are collected, managed, analyzed, and shared so that reporting is timely, complete, and accurate, and so that decision-makers at multiple levels can rely on the data for day-to-day program management as well as longer-term planning. A major emphasis is making relevant HIV data accessible and usable for stakeholders across the system, including national and subnational MOH teams and implementing partners, and supporting HIV impact evaluation assessments that help measure outcomes and progress.
The opportunity prioritizes strengthening the effectiveness of the country HIV program through better data systems and stronger analytic capacity aligned with the MOH SI plan. In practical terms, this includes improving data management systems and workflows, enhancing data quality and reporting processes, and building the capacity to analyze and interpret HIV program data so it can inform program direction. The FOA also supports targeted HIV studies intended to generate evidence on program effectiveness, which can then be used to refine intervention prioritization, guide policy development, and strengthen program planning. The overall logic is that stronger strategic information functions lead to better targeting of interventions, quicker identification of gaps, and better measurement of impact, all of which support national HIV goals under PEPFAR.
This announcement is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning CDC would typically have substantial involvement in the work beyond standard grant oversight. The listed CFDA number is 93.067, and the responsible agency component is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Center for Global Health (CGH). The original posting date was December 9, 2015, with an original application closing date of February 10, 2016. The award information indicates an expected single award, with an award ceiling of $1,000,000.
An important update included in the posted text is that the item described is an amendment provided for informational purposes only. CDC is not accepting new applications under this amendment. The purpose of the amendment is specifically to add language related to HIV epidemic control under the section addressing other national public health priorities and strategies. In other words, the amendment does not reopen competition; it clarifies or expands the program framing to incorporate epidemic control language, reflecting broader PEPFAR and public health strategy goals around reducing HIV incidence and achieving sustained control of the epidemic.
Eligibility is broadly defined and includes a wide range of domestic and non-domestic entities. Eligible applicants span all levels of government (state, county, city/township, special district, regional organizations, and US territories), public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations (including small businesses), and individuals. It also explicitly includes non-US entities and a wide set of other organization types such as Ministries of Health, tribal epidemiology centers, urban Indian health organizations, research institutions when performing non-research activities, colleges and universities, community- and faith-based organizations, hospitals, and small, minority-, and women-owned businesses. This broad eligibility language signals that CDC intended the work to be accessible to many potential partners capable of strengthening strategic information systems and analytic capacity, including organizations with implementation, technical assistance, informatics, monitoring and evaluation, and health systems experience relevant to HIV programs.
In summary, the opportunity is designed to bolster the DRC MOH ability to run an effective HIV program by upgrading strategic information functions: improving data quality and reporting, strengthening data management and analytic systems, expanding access to actionable information for stakeholders, and supporting evaluations and studies that guide policy and program decisions. Although the FOA reflects a formal funding mechanism with defined award parameters, the current posting explicitly notes that it is an informational amendment and not an open call for new applications.Apply for CDC RFA GH16 1613
