Opportunity Summary:
This CDC funding opportunity (RFA number CDC RFA PS09-972) is a discretionary, health-focused cooperative agreement under CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS) that supports work in Tanzania through the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The announcement is centered on strengthening how HIV/AIDS-related deaths are identified, documented, and reported in the United Republic of Tanzania by expanding the use of verbal autopsy approaches in both local and governmental institutions. In practical terms, the goal is to improve mortality surveillance where medical certification of cause of death may be limited, so that HIV/AIDS death case reporting becomes more complete, more consistent, and more useful for national planning and program improvement.
The stated purpose is to enable Tanzania's Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (MOHSW) to continue maintaining and overseeing demographic surveillance activities while also implementing upgraded HIV/AIDS death case reporting. A key feature of the opportunity is the role of indigenous, district-based research and resource institutions that can partner with MOHSW to carry out this work. The program is not framed as a standalone research project; rather, it is meant to reinforce national and subnational systems for mortality and demographic surveillance and to build operational capacity that can be sustained within Tanzanian institutions. The emphasis on verbal autopsy indicates an intent to collect structured information from caregivers or relatives about symptoms and circumstances prior to death, then use that information to infer likely causes of death in a standardized way, supporting better HIV/AIDS mortality estimates and trend monitoring.
Funding is expected to support approximately one award, with an anticipated total of about $750,000 available for that single award. The award range lists a floor of $300,000 and a ceiling of $750,000, while the broader estimated total funding noted in the source data is $3,750,000. The mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expects to have substantial involvement during the period of performance, such as providing technical guidance, collaboration on implementation approaches, or shared oversight of deliverables, rather than functioning solely as a pass-through funder. No cost sharing or matching is required.
Eligibility is targeted and location-specific. Applicants are described as Tanzanian district-based health research and resource institutes with more than 10 years of experience working in Tanzania on the development and evaluation of health systems interventions. That eligibility language signals that the CDC is looking for organizations with a long-standing in-country track record, deep familiarity with Tanzanian health systems, and demonstrated capability in implementing and evaluating interventions that affect how services and reporting systems operate. The focus on district-based institutions also aligns with the operational nature of verbal autopsy and demographic surveillance, which often relies on local networks, routine interactions with communities, and sustained field capacity.
The opportunity was posted on March 30, 2009, with applications due by May 28, 2009, at 5:00 pm Eastern Time. The estimated award timing is before September 30, 2009. The announcement was archived on June 27, 2009, which indicates it is no longer open, but the details remain useful for understanding the program intent and the type of partner and work CDC sought to support at that time. Applicants were directed to the full announcement via Grants.gov, and CDC provided a Procurement and Grants Office contact (PGO TIMS) for assistance in accessing the full application package.
Overall, the grant opportunity is best understood as a capacity-building and surveillance-strengthening effort: improving the completeness and quality of HIV/AIDS death reporting in Tanzania by institutionalizing verbal autopsy methods within local and government settings, while supporting MOHSW oversight of demographic surveillance and leveraging experienced Tanzanian research institutions to help implement, refine, and sustain those reporting improvements.
