Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH13 1319SUPP16
This grant opportunity is a CDC-funded supplemental cooperative agreement under PEPFAR that focuses on strengthening Tanzania's Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (MOHSW) so the ministry can make better evidence-based decisions and improve the management and delivery of quality health services. The central problem the funding is meant to address is an urgent shortage of health workers that is slowing progress toward aggressive pediatric HIV goals. The core idea is that, by quickly boosting frontline staffing and support capacity inside the health system, Tanzania can improve HIV testing coverage for children, move patients more reliably from testing into care and treatment, and keep children and families engaged in services over time.
The opportunity is titled "Tanzanian Ministry of Health and Social Welfare System Strengthening for Enhanced Evidence Based Decision Making and Management and Delivery of Quality Health Services in the United Republic of Tanzania under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief" and was issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA GH13-1319SUPP16, and it is listed as discretionary funding using a cooperative agreement mechanism. A cooperative agreement typically signals that CDC expects to have substantial involvement during implementation, meaning the recipient would likely coordinate closely with CDC on planning, performance monitoring, and execution of activities rather than operating entirely independently.
Programmatically, the emphasis is on rapidly increasing human resources to accelerate pediatric HIV outcomes. The description highlights emergency hiring of nurses, healthcare workers (HCWs), and lay counselors. These roles are tied directly to key points along the HIV service cascade: expanding HIV/AIDS testing, strengthening linkages from diagnosis to care, supporting treatment initiation and follow-up, and improving retention so patients stay in care and maintain treatment. In practice, this sort of support often includes staffing for testing points, counseling and patient navigation, follow-up systems to reduce loss to follow-up, and additional capacity at clinics to handle increased patient volume without compromising service quality.
The award is categorized under the health assistance area and is associated with CFDA number 93.067. The total award ceiling is $2,000,000, with CDC expecting to make one award, indicating a single primary recipient is anticipated to lead the work. The eligible applicant category is listed as "Others," which generally suggests eligibility may extend beyond standard categories like universities or state/local governments, depending on the specific eligibility language in the full announcement, but the summary information provided does not name a specific set of institutions beyond that label.
Key timing details show the opportunity record was created on 2015-10-09 and had an original closing date of 2015-12-09. As a supplemental funding action, it is framed as an add-on meant to reinforce or expand existing work rather than launch an entirely new standalone program. The practical intent is to quickly fill staffing gaps within the MOHSW-related system to improve the day-to-day delivery of HIV services, especially for children, and to strengthen the ministry's operational ability to manage programs using evidence and data-driven decision making while improving the quality of health service delivery nationwide.Apply for CDC RFA GH13 1319SUPP16
