Enhanced surveillance in the Republic of Uganda under the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS relief (PEPFAR) | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Enhanced surveillance in the Republic of Uganda under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)" is a continuation funding notice issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS-CDC). It is identified by the funding opportunity number CDC RFA GH11 116505CONT16 and is categorized specifically as a continuation award, meaning it is not a new, open competition. Instead, it exists to extend or maintain support for work that began under an earlier CDC funding announcement: CDC-RFA-GH11-1165.

This opportunity uses a Cooperative Agreement as its funding instrument. In practical terms, a cooperative agreement typically indicates that CDC expects to be substantially involved in the project beyond simply providing funds. That involvement often includes collaborative planning, technical guidance, alignment with CDC standards and reporting expectations, and ongoing coordination to ensure the project meets public health objectives. The activity category is Health, and it is associated with CFDA number 93.067, which corresponds to CDC global health and related public health assistance programming.

The program focus, as reflected in the title, is enhanced surveillance in Uganda in the context of PEPFAR. While the notice itself is brief and does not detail specific technical components, "enhanced surveillance" in PEPFAR contexts generally refers to strengthening systems that track HIV-related indicators and related public health data to better understand disease trends, program coverage, outcomes, and potential gaps. In-country surveillance activities of this type commonly support improved monitoring of HIV burden, service delivery performance, and the quality and timeliness of reporting. They can also include strengthening data systems, standardizing surveillance methods, improving the reliability of laboratory and case-based data, and building local capacity for analysis and use of surveillance information in decision-making. The ultimate purpose is to help guide HIV prevention and treatment strategies and to ensure programs are responsive to evolving epidemiological conditions.

Eligibility is restricted. The notice indicates "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the description clearly states the funds are intended only for grantees previously awarded under the original announcement (CDC-RFA-GH11-1165). That means new applicants should not expect to be considered; the continuation mechanism is designed to carry forward a previously funded project with an existing awardee, typically contingent on acceptable performance, continued programmatic need, and availability of funds.

Administratively, the opportunity was created and posted on December 4, 2015, and it carried an original and current closing date of January 4, 2016. The expected number of awards is one, which aligns with the continuation-only structure. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which commonly appears in continuation notices when the specific funding level is not publicly stated in the synopsis, may be determined through internal budgeting, or is handled through incremental funding actions tied to the existing award rather than competed as a standalone amount.

Overall, this notice is best understood as a procedural extension of an existing CDC-supported PEPFAR surveillance effort in Uganda rather than a call for new proposals. It signals CDC's intent to continue supporting a current implementing partner to sustain or expand HIV-related surveillance capabilities and associated data systems and public health monitoring functions, in coordination with CDC priorities and PEPFAR objectives.
