Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Comprehensive Approaches to Strengthening the Health System and HIV Response in the Republic of Mozambique under the Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH15 1556) is a CDC cooperative agreement aimed at strengthening Mozambique's national health system while expanding and improving comprehensive HIV services across multiple provinces. The core idea behind the announcement is that Mozambique needs stronger underlying health system capacity and infrastructure to respond effectively to HIV, and that HIV outcomes improve when service delivery is paired with broader system improvements rather than treated as a stand-alone, vertical program.
Programmatically, the opportunity is framed around implementing a comprehensive HIV response aligned with PEPFAR and broader U.S. global HIV policy goals, including the "AIDS Free Generation" policy direction. In practical terms, that means supporting work that helps prevent new HIV infections, improves treatment and care outcomes for people living with HIV, and integrates HIV programming with related priorities like reducing tuberculosis burden and strengthening essential health system components that make sustained service delivery possible. The announcement also notes that it supports CDC priorities and agreements laid out in the PEPFAR Partnership Framework, signaling that the awardee would be expected to operate in coordination with national plans and established U.S.-Mozambique commitments rather than designing an entirely independent strategy.
From a funding and award structure standpoint, this is a discretionary grant made as a cooperative agreement, which generally implies substantial involvement and collaboration with CDC during implementation (for example, around technical direction, performance monitoring, and alignment with CDC and PEPFAR requirements). The announcement anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1), with an estimated total funding amount of $22,000,000 and an award ceiling of $22,000,000, meaning the full project funding was intended to be concentrated in one recipient or lead organization rather than distributed across multiple separate awards. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility is broad and includes government entities, nonprofit and for-profit organizations, health institutions, and other organizational types. Specifically, eligible applicants include state and local governments and their bona fide agents (with a list that includes U.S. territories and affiliated jurisdictions), American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments and tribal organizations, and a wide range of non-governmental organizations such as 501(c)(3) nonprofits, nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, research institutions (so long as the proposed activities are deemed non-research), colleges and universities, community-based and faith-based organizations, hospitals, and for-profit entities (other than small businesses), including small, minority-, and women-owned businesses. The opportunity also references PEPFAR's "local partner" definition and makes clear that applicants seeking to be considered as a local partner must provide specific supporting documentation demonstrating that they meet one of the defined criteria. That documentation must be included in the application appendices and clearly labeled as "Eligibility Documentation for PEPFAR Local Partner Definition." Applications that do not include and label this documentation as required would not be considered eligible for review under the local partner designation.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted and created on Aug 26, 2014, with an original and current closing date of Oct 10, 2014, and an archive date of Nov 9, 2014. It is associated with CFDA number 93.067 (Global AIDS). For applicants or organizations needing assistance accessing the full announcement, CDC listed the Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section as the point of contact, reachable by email at pgotim@cdc.gov and by phone at 770-488-2700.
Overall, this FOA can be read as a single, large, country-focused investment designed to combine HIV service scale-up with the practical strengthening of Mozambique's health system foundations, with explicit ties to PEPFAR policy priorities, CDC technical leadership, and the Partnership Framework commitments that guide coordinated HIV and TB response efforts in the country.
