Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Epidemiology and Strategic Information in the Republic of Zimbabwe under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH11-1148) is a CDC-funded cooperative agreement designed to strengthen the evidence base that guides health policy and program decisions in Zimbabwe. At its core, the program is meant to support Zimbabwe's Ministry of Health and Child Welfare by financing and coordinating the collection and use of high-quality public health data. The emphasis is on producing practical, decision-ready information through surveys, evaluations, and research activities that can directly inform national strategies and improve the effectiveness of health interventions, particularly in areas connected to HIV/AIDS under PEPFAR.
The primary purpose of the award is to enable the implementation of health-related surveys, program evaluations, implementation or operations research, assessments, and program-specific monitoring. These activities are intended to generate strategic information that helps leaders understand what is happening on the ground, what is working, what is not working, and where adjustments are needed. In practical terms, this can include measuring disease burden and trends, assessing coverage and quality of services, evaluating outcomes and impact of funded programs, and improving monitoring systems so routine program data is more reliable and useful. The overall goal is not simply data collection for reporting purposes, but producing actionable evidence that can shape policy decisions and strengthen program planning, targeting, and accountability in Zimbabwe's health sector.
The CDC structured this funding as a cooperative agreement, meaning the government is expected to have substantial involvement in the implementation rather than functioning purely as a pass-through funder. This typically implies closer collaboration with CDC technical staff, shared planning and oversight, and an expectation that the recipient coordinates closely with national counterparts, including the Ministry of Health and Child Welfare, to ensure activities align with national priorities and PEPFAR objectives. The funding activity category is Health, and the CFDA number listed is 93.067 (Global AIDS), underscoring its connection to the broader U.S. government HIV/AIDS response.
In terms of scale and competition, the opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $10,000,000. The notice did not specify an award ceiling or floor (both recorded as 0), which usually indicates applicants needed to consult the full announcement for detailed budgeting expectations or that flexibility was built into final award negotiation. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was broad and included a wide range of organizational types. Eligible applicants included nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations (including small businesses and small/minority/women-owned businesses), universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and U.S. state and local governments. Tribal governments (federally or state recognized) were also eligible, as were non-U.S. (non-domestic) entities. The announcement also recognized applications submitted by a "Bona Fide Agent" on behalf of a state or local government, but required documentation in the form of a letter from the relevant government entity confirming that status, submitted with the application materials.
The timeline indicates this was a time-limited, archived opportunity from 2011. It was posted on February 24, 2011, with an original and final closing date of April 21, 2011, and an archive date of May 21, 2011. While the listing references an additional information link, it clarifies that the link is not active and instructs applicants to use the "Full Announcement" section on the source page for complete requirements and guidance. For technical difficulties accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) at 770-488-2700.
Overall, this opportunity reflects a strategic investment in the data systems and analytic work needed to run effective public health programs, especially those tied to HIV/AIDS under PEPFAR. Rather than funding direct service delivery alone, it focuses on the surveys, evaluations, and monitoring functions that help a health system understand performance, identify gaps, and make better-informed policy and resource decisions in Zimbabwe.
