Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (CDC RFA GH15-1586) is a PEPFAR-supported cooperative agreement announced by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) focused on strengthening national HIV and broader health sector information systems in the United Republic of Tanzania. The core purpose is to provide software development, systems integration, and related health information systems (HIS) support services to Tanzanian government ministries, agencies, and departments. In practical terms, CDC is looking for one or more implementing partners that can help Tanzania expand and improve the electronic systems used to run health programs, especially those tied to HIV services, and make those systems work better together so they can reliably exchange data.
The opportunity is centered on accelerating the use of electronic information systems to improve how health services are delivered and managed. That includes boosting routine use of digital tools at facilities and program offices, improving data quality and availability for day-to-day operations, and ensuring that information collected in one system can be shared and reused by other systems without creating duplication or conflicting records. A major emphasis is interoperability: increasing the number of systems that can exchange and share data in ways that support evidence-based decision making. Another key theme is alignment, meaning the HIS work should match real health sector workflows, reporting needs, and management requirements, rather than building isolated tools that do not fit how services are actually delivered.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally means CDC expects to be substantially involved in the project beyond simply providing funds. Recipients typically collaborate closely with CDC on planning, implementation approaches, technical standards, and performance monitoring. The activity category is health, and the CFDA number listed is 93.067 (Global AIDS), reflecting the PEPFAR HIV-focused context even though the work explicitly includes broader health sector systems.
CDC anticipated making up to two awards under this announcement. The listed award ceiling is $900,000, with no stated award floor. No cost sharing or matching is required. While the dataset shows an estimated total funding amount of $0, that commonly reflects how some postings were recorded in summary systems and does not necessarily mean there was no funding; the ceiling and expected awards provide the more practical indication of scale. The notice was posted on September 3, 2014, with an application closing date of October 17, 2014, and it was archived on November 16, 2014.
Eligibility is broad and includes many categories of government and non-government entities. Government organizations listed include national ministries of health, state and local governments or their bona fide agents (including U.S. territories and certain freely associated states), American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments, and political subdivisions of states (in consultation with states). Non-government organizations eligible to apply include tribally designated organizations, Alaska Native health corporations, tribal epidemiology centers, urban Indian health organizations, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), research institutions when conducting activities deemed non-research, colleges and universities, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), hospitals, and small/minority/women-owned businesses, along with other eligible organizations as further clarified in the full announcement.
Overall, the grant opportunity is aimed at building and integrating Tanzania’s digital health infrastructure in ways that directly strengthen HIV program performance and broader health system management. The intended results are improved electronic data capture and use, more connected systems that can share information across programs and levels of care, and better decision-making based on timely, consistent, and usable data. For applicants, the key competency implied by the announcement is the ability to deliver hands-on software development and integration support in close coordination with government stakeholders, while ensuring that the resulting systems reflect national priorities and operational realities.
