Opportunity Summary:
This CDC funding opportunity (CDC RFA GH15-1569) under PEPFAR focuses on strengthening how HIV program data are collected, stored, checked, and reported in the Republic of Rwanda by putting in place a single, country-level electronic repository. The core idea is to support a web-based monitoring and reporting system that every US Government (USG) PEPFAR-funded agency and implementing partner working in Rwanda can use, alongside key national stakeholders such as the Rwandan Ministry of Health and the Rwanda Biomedical Center (RBC). Rather than having multiple disconnected reporting tools, the goal is one stable platform that functions as the authoritative source for PEPFAR Rwanda program data and can reliably produce required PEPFAR reports and respond to additional, ad hoc reporting requests.
A major feature of the opportunity is that it does not assume the answer is automatically to build something entirely new. The work starts with an initial assessment of the electronic reporting system Rwanda has been using since 2008. That assessment is meant to determine whether the most sensible path is to maintain the current system, upgrade it, or replace it with a new platform that better fits current PEPFAR reporting and program management needs. Whatever approach is chosen, the FOA emphasizes that the platform must be flexible and stable, able to support ongoing use by many partners, and robust enough to serve as the unique repository of PEPFAR Rwanda data at the country level.
The system is expected to do more than store data. It should improve data quality and usability through built-in automated checks that help catch errors, inconsistencies, or missing information before data are finalized for reporting. The FOA also calls for new functionality that makes the data easier to interpret and act on, such as dashboards that allow users to quickly view performance against indicators. In addition, the project is expected to expand and refine the data captured by adding additional variables that support HIV program planning and implementation, not just routine reporting.
Close coordination with national counterparts is a key expectation, especially with the Division of HIV/AIDS at the Rwanda Biomedical Center, which is identified as one of the major users of the system and the data within it. The successful applicant is expected to work closely with RBC to refine certain data elements to ensure they align with and are harmonized with Rwanda's national systems. This speaks to an emphasis on interoperability and alignment with country-led health information priorities, not a standalone tool that only serves external reporting.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC anticipates substantial involvement during implementation, such as collaboration on technical direction, monitoring, and key decisions. The FOA listed an expectation of one award, with an award ceiling of $310,000 and no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding activity category is health, and the CFDA number is 93.067 (Global AIDS).
Eligibility is broad and includes government organizations (such as national ministries of health, state and local governments and their bona fide agents, and eligible US territorial governments), tribal governments and tribally designated organizations, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, research institutions carrying out non-research activities, colleges and universities, community-based and faith-based organizations, hospitals, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and small/minority/women-owned businesses, among other eligible entities as described in the announcement. For support accessing the full announcement, the contact provided is the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (PGO TIMS) at 770-488-2700.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1) What is the main purpose of CDC RFA GH15-1569 (PEPFAR) in Rwanda?
The opportunity supports strengthening how HIV program data are collected, stored, validated, and reported in the Republic of Rwanda by establishing a single, country-level electronic repository for PEPFAR Rwanda program data.
2) What problem is this funding trying to solve?
It aims to reduce the fragmentation caused by multiple disconnected reporting tools by supporting one stable, shared platform that serves as the authoritative source for PEPFAR Rwanda program data and can reliably produce required reports and respond to additional ad hoc reporting requests.
3) What kind of system is being supported?
The core idea is a web-based monitoring and reporting system that can be used by all US Government (USG) PEPFAR-funded agencies and implementing partners working in Rwanda, along with key national stakeholders.
4) Who are the expected users and stakeholders of the system?
Expected users include every USG PEPFAR-funded agency and implementing partner operating in Rwanda, plus key national stakeholders such as the Rwandan Ministry of Health and the Rwanda Biomedical Center (RBC), including the Division of HIV/AIDS at RBC.
5) Does the FOA require building a brand-new platform?
No. The work begins with an initial assessment of the electronic reporting system Rwanda has been using since 2008 to determine whether the best approach is to maintain the current system, upgrade it, or replace it with a new platform.
6) What is the purpose of the initial assessment of the existing system?
The assessment is intended to inform the most sensible path forward (maintain, upgrade, or replace) based on current PEPFAR reporting requirements and program management needs in Rwanda.
7) What are the key requirements for the platform, regardless of whether it is maintained, upgraded, or replaced?
The platform is expected to be flexible and stable, support ongoing use by many partners, and be robust enough to serve as the unique country-level repository of PEPFAR Rwanda data.
8) Is the system only expected to store data?
No. Beyond storing data, the system is expected to improve data quality and usability through automated checks and to offer features that make data easier to interpret and use for decision-making.
9) What kinds of data quality features are expected?
The FOA calls for built-in automated checks that help identify errors, inconsistencies, or missing information before data are finalized for reporting.
10) What kinds of data visualization or performance features are expected?
The FOA specifically references dashboards that allow users to quickly view performance against indicators, supporting easier interpretation and action on the data.
11) Will the project expand the data captured beyond routine reporting needs?
Yes. The project is expected to expand and refine the data captured by adding additional variables that support HIV program planning and implementation, not only routine reporting.
12) How important is coordination with Rwanda national institutions?
Close coordination with national counterparts is a key expectation, especially with the Division of HIV/AIDS at the Rwanda Biomedical Center (RBC), identified as a major user of the system and the data.
13) What is RBC expected to contribute or influence in the project?
The successful applicant is expected to work closely with RBC to refine certain data elements so they align with and are harmonized with Rwanda national systems, reflecting an emphasis on interoperability and country alignment.
14) What does it mean that the platform should be the "authoritative source" for PEPFAR Rwanda program data?
It means the platform is intended to function as the single, trusted country-level repository from which required PEPFAR reports can be generated and that can also support additional reporting requests.
15) What type of award mechanism is used for this opportunity?
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement.
16) What does a cooperative agreement imply for how the project will be carried out?
A cooperative agreement typically indicates substantial CDC involvement during implementation, including collaboration on technical direction, monitoring, and key decisions.
