Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Improving Quality of Care and Health Impact through Sustainable, Integrated, Innovative Information System Technologies in Malawi under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," is a discretionary CDC cooperative agreement designed to strengthen Malawi's health information systems in ways that directly improve HIV-related service quality and overall health impact. Positioned under the leadership of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator and PEPFAR, the opportunity reflects the CDC approach of working alongside host-country governments and partners to identify country-specific needs and then support solutions that align with the host nation's strategic plans and partnership frameworks. In practical terms, the focus is on building and integrating information system technologies that can be sustained over time and that help programs and facilities use data more effectively to manage and improve care.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expects to have substantial involvement in guiding and collaborating on the project rather than simply issuing a grant with limited federal engagement. The funding activity category is Health, and it falls under CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS). The opportunity anticipated making two awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $37,000,000 and an award ceiling of $8,000,000 per award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for organizations that may not be able to contribute non-federal funds.
The announcement was posted on February 5, 2012, created on April 4, 2012, and originally closed April 7, 2012, with the closing date later extended to April 16, 2012. The archive date was May 16, 2012. The funding opportunity number is CDC-RFA-GH12-1250, which is the key identifier applicants would use to locate the full announcement and requirements in grants systems and CDC documentation.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of U.S. and non-U.S. entities, indicating CDC was open to partners with different operational models and technical capacities. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations (both with and without 501(c)(3) IRS status), for-profit organizations (excluding small businesses, though small, minority-, and women-owned businesses are explicitly listed), universities, colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and governmental entities at the state and local level. The eligibility list also includes federally or state recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments and tribally designated organizations, Alaska Native health corporations, Urban Indian health organizations, tribal epidemiology centers, and U.S. insular and affiliated jurisdictions and freely associated states named in the announcement. Non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities are also eligible, which is particularly relevant for a Malawi-focused information systems initiative where local or regional implementers may be best positioned to deliver and sustain the work.
The opportunity also clarifies a specific pathway for "Bona Fide Agents" applying on behalf of state or local governments. If an organization is applying as a bona fide agent, it must provide a legal, binding agreement from the relevant state or local government documenting that status, and this documentation must be attached in the application package (submitted via Grants.gov). This detail signals that CDC anticipated applications that might be administered by an agent organization rather than the government entity itself, but required formal proof of that relationship.
Overall, the central intent is to improve quality of care and health outcomes in Malawi by advancing information system technologies that are sustainable, integrated across services and platforms, and innovative enough to address gaps in data capture, reporting, analysis, and use. While the brief synopsis provided does not list specific required activities or technical areas, the title and framing strongly indicate priorities such as strengthening health data systems that support HIV programs, enabling better monitoring of service delivery and patient outcomes, and ensuring that information systems improvements fit within Malawi's national strategies and coordination structures under PEPFAR.
