Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under PEPFAR, focuses on strengthening HIV-related health laboratory capacity across Tanzania in a way that can be maintained locally over time. The overall aim is to help Tanzania build a more indigenous and sustainable national response to the HIV epidemic by supplementing and improving laboratory services that underpin HIV prevention, care, and treatment programs. The work is designed to support both Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar, and it emphasizes hands-on technical assistance delivered in close coordination with the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (MOHSW) and with subnational health leadership structures, specifically District Council Health Management Teams (CHMTs) and Regional Health Management Teams (RHMTs).
The core of the program is workforce and systems strengthening through targeted training and mentorship. A major component is developing leadership at the laboratory level by training local laboratory directors and managers to guide HIV/AIDS laboratory services. In parallel, the program supports capacity building among laboratory professionals, including specialists, scientists, technologists, and technicians, so they can reliably perform essential HIV screening tests and confirmatory diagnostics. Beyond strictly laboratory personnel, the opportunity also calls for training health care workers to conduct CD4 testing used for HIV disease staging, along with basic chemistry and hematology tests that are commonly needed to monitor patients on therapy. Another key element is training non-laboratory staff who play critical roles in HIV service delivery, including those involved in confidential HIV counseling and testing (HCT), prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) services, management of tuberculosis and HIV co-infection (TB/HIV), rapid HIV testing, and screening to maintain blood safety. Taken together, these activities are meant to improve test availability, accuracy, and appropriate use at multiple points in the HIV care continuum, from diagnosis through ongoing treatment monitoring and related public health programs.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that CDC expects to have substantial programmatic involvement during implementation rather than acting only as a pass-through funder. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding in the health area and is associated with CFDA number 93.067 (Global AIDS). CDC anticipated making two awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,300,000. The listed award ceiling is $300,000, with no stated award floor, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute a specific portion of project costs from non-federal sources.
Eligibility is broad and includes U.S. and non-U.S. entities across nonprofit, for-profit, academic, governmental, and community sectors. Eligible applicants include nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations (including other than small businesses), small and minority- and women-owned businesses, universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based organizations, and faith-based organizations. Government eligibility extends to state and local governments and their bona fide agents, political subdivisions of states (in consultation with states), and eligible tribal governments and tribal health entities. The announcement also allows non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities to apply. If applying as a bona fide agent on behalf of a state or local government, the applicant must provide a legal, binding agreement documenting that status as part of the submission.
Key dates and administrative details place this as a historical funding opportunity posted on January 24, 2012, with an original and final application closing date of March 26, 2012, and an archive date of April 25, 2012.
