Opportunity Summary:
This CDC cooperative agreement opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH13-1324) supports the scale-up of the Families Matter program in the United Republic of Tanzania under the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The central idea is to engage parents and caregivers as a primary prevention strategy, strengthening family communication and parenting practices to help reduce child sexual abuse and lower sexual risk behaviors among youth. The award sits within CDC's broader PEPFAR approach, which is to work alongside host governments and in-country partners to assess national needs and then build a tailored package of technical and program support that aligns with the host nation's strategic plan and partnership framework.
The opportunity is rooted in CDC's larger HIV/AIDS platform priorities under PEPFAR. These priorities include preventing new HIV infections through expanded confidential counseling and testing linked to evidence-based behavior change interventions, and supporting efforts to prevent mother-to-child transmission. It also ties into improving care and treatment for people living with HIV by strengthening management of sexually transmitted infections, expanding laboratory diagnostic capacity, and improving prevention and treatment of opportunistic infections and co-infections such as tuberculosis, including support for antiretroviral therapy programs. A further emphasis is placed on building country capacity to collect, analyze, and use surveillance and program data by expanding HIV/STI/TB surveillance and strengthening laboratory systems for diagnosis, monitoring, and blood safety screening. Finally, CDC highlights the importance of developing, validating, and evaluating public health programs so that prevention, care, and treatment interventions are evidence-driven and well targeted; this framing supports the expectation that implementers will monitor performance and use data for continuous improvement during scale-up.
From a funding and award structure standpoint, this is a discretionary grant mechanism using a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expects substantial involvement through technical collaboration, guidance, and oversight rather than simply providing funds with minimal engagement. The announcement anticipated making two awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $10,000,000. The listed award ceiling is $1,200,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, lowering the financial barrier for applicants and allowing more resources to flow directly to implementation and supporting activities. The opportunity was posted January 15, 2013, with an original and final closing date of April 1, 2013, and an archive date of May 1, 2013.
Eligibility is intentionally broad and includes a wide range of domestic and non-domestic organizations that could credibly implement and scale a parenting-focused prevention intervention. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in those specific nonprofit categories), for-profit organizations (excluding small businesses in one category, while also explicitly allowing small, minority-, and women-owned businesses), universities, colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and multiple categories of tribal governments and tribal health entities. State and local governments and their bona fide agents are also eligible, including U.S. territories and freely associated states listed in the notice, and non-U.S. entities are explicitly permitted as well. This breadth suggests CDC wanted to attract implementers with strong field presence in Tanzania, proven community delivery capacity, and the ability to manage monitoring, evaluation, and coordination with national and local stakeholders.
In practical terms, the funded work would be expected to contribute to PEPFAR prevention outcomes by scaling an evidence-informed or evidence-based parenting program model (Families Matter) that equips parents to guide children and adolescents away from sexual risk and to strengthen protective factors that reduce vulnerability to abuse. Because the opportunity sits within CDC's PEPFAR portfolio and emphasizes surveillance, laboratory support, and program evaluation as cross-cutting priorities, applicants would typically be expected to demonstrate strong implementation systems, data collection and reporting capacity, and an ability to integrate or coordinate with existing HIV prevention and youth-focused services in Tanzania, while ensuring the program remains aligned with the national HIV strategy and broader child protection efforts.
