Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under PEPFAR, supports a cooperative agreement program designed to strengthen South Africa's National Health Information System. The central aim is to provide targeted technical assistance and capacity building to the South African National Department of Health (DOH) and Provincial Departments of Health so they can improve how health data are collected, managed, analyzed, and used for decision-making. The work is intended to operate across the full health system hierarchy, including national and provincial levels as well as district, sub-district, facility, and community settings. While activities are expected to start in priority provinces and districts identified by the South African Government, the program is structured with the expectation that successful approaches and strengthened capacity will be expanded to additional provinces over time.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically means CDC expects substantial involvement during implementation (for example, collaboration on technical direction, performance monitoring, and alignment with public health priorities). The funding activity area is health, and it is tied to the Global AIDS program (CFDA 93.067), signaling that the improvements to the health information system are closely connected to HIV/AIDS program needs and broader PEPFAR goals, such as improving program monitoring, reporting, and the ability to use data to guide service delivery and resource allocation.
CDC anticipated making up to five awards under this announcement. The estimated total funding amount across awards was $20,000,000, with individual awards expected to fall within a range: an award floor of $150,000 and an award ceiling of $950,000. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which reduces barriers to participation and allows applicants to focus resources on implementation rather than securing additional funds.
A wide range of applicants were eligible. This included U.S. and non-U.S. entities, nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations (including small, minority-, and women-owned businesses), universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based organizations, and faith-based organizations. Governmental entities were also eligible, including state and local governments and their bona fide agents, as well as federally or state-recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments. For applicants applying as a bona fide agent of a state or local government, the announcement required a formal letter from the relevant government entity to document that status, submitted as part of the application package through Grants.gov.
Key administrative details place this funding opportunity in 2011.
