Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH17 1772
The grant opportunity titled "Tanzania Ministry of Health HIV Response under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)" is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement designed to strengthen and coordinate Tanzania's national HIV response through the Ministry of Health (MOH). The central aim is to help the MOH lead a comprehensive, strategic, and data-driven response that covers the full continuum of HIV programming, from identifying people living with HIV to linking them to care, sustaining effective treatment, and ensuring ongoing support services. Rather than focusing on a narrow project, the opportunity is structured to reinforce the MOH's leadership role in organizing national policies, setting standards, and ensuring that implementation across the health system is consistent with the latest normative guidance and PEPFAR program expectations.
A key feature of the opportunity is its emphasis on coordinated planning and execution across the HIV cascade. This includes strengthening HIV detection and testing strategies, improving linkage to and retention in care, ensuring quality antiretroviral therapy (ART) services, and reinforcing the support systems needed for long-term treatment success. The FOA highlights the need to pay specific attention to vulnerable or priority populations, meaning the response should not be one-size-fits-all, but tailored to groups experiencing higher risk, barriers to care, or poorer outcomes. The approach is meant to be both comprehensive and targeted, ensuring broad system performance while also addressing inequities and gaps where they are most pronounced.
High-quality epidemiologic and program data are presented as the backbone of the strategy. The opportunity supports the generation, strengthening, and routine use of reliable data to guide decisions, measure performance, and rapidly adjust programming. In practice, this points to improved monitoring and evaluation systems, stronger surveillance and reporting, better data quality assurance, and more consistent use of data at national, regional, and facility levels. The intended result is a culture of continuous improvement where policies and implementation choices are informed by what the data show about coverage, quality, and outcomes.
The FOA also focuses on enabling rapid uptake of updated technical guidance. This includes proactive adoption of normative guidance and PEPFAR guidelines across the health sector, translating new recommendations into operational policies, training, and service delivery improvements. Because HIV guidance evolves with new evidence and program learning, the ability of a ministry to move quickly from updated recommendations to consistent national practice is treated as a major driver of quality and impact.
Another core theme is financing and resource alignment. The opportunity supports MOH efforts to coordinate domestic and international HIV resources to maximize efficiency and effectiveness. This includes improving planning and budgeting, strengthening the ability to allocate resources based on need and performance, and ensuring financing approaches are workable across all levels of government. The intent is to reduce fragmentation, avoid duplication, and ensure partner and donor investments reinforce national priorities under MOH leadership.
Collaboration is built into the award design. The FOA explicitly references working with the National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR) to ensure research findings and data are used to shape policy and program practice, strengthening the link between evidence generation and real-world implementation. It also calls for coordination with the Tanzania Commission for AIDS (TACAIDS) to support effective engagement in the broader multisectoral HIV response, recognizing that HIV outcomes depend not only on clinical services but also on cross-sector efforts and national coordination beyond the health system.
Structurally, this is a discretionary cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC is expected to have substantial involvement in technical direction and collaboration rather than acting only as a pass-through funder. The opportunity is identified as CDC RFA GH17-1772 under CFDA 93.067, with CDC's Center for Global Health listed as the issuing agency. The funding details provided include an award ceiling of $5,500,000, an expected number of awards of 1, and an original closing date of 2020-01-27 (with the listing created on 2016-08-04). The FOA also notes that it consolidates and strategically aligns key activities that previously had been supported through five separate MOH cooperative agreements, signaling an effort to streamline management, improve coordination, and focus resources on the highest-priority functions under a unified framework.
In short, the opportunity is meant to strengthen Tanzania's MOH capacity to lead a coherent national HIV program that is technically up to date, focused on priority populations, grounded in strong data systems, coordinated across partners and government levels, and supported by aligned financing and evidence-to-policy collaboration.Apply for CDC RFA GH17 1772
