Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (CDC RFA PS10-1066) is a PEPFAR-supported cooperative agreement from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention focused on strengthening Tanzania's national Health Management Information System (HMIS), with an emphasis on HIV-related strategic information and broader health-sector data use. The overall aim is to provide hands-on technical assistance to Tanzania's Ministry of Social Health and Welfare (MOHSW) across all levels and units so the country can move toward a more unified, reliable, and decision-ready information environment. A central idea running through the announcement is harmonization: building on the major investments and practical lessons learned from the HIV/AIDS subsector to help the entire health sector work toward a single, coordinated data collection and dissemination approach that can serve government, implementing partners, NGOs, and civil society without duplicative reporting burdens or fragmented systems.
A major component of the program is improving MOHSW capacity to collect, manage, and analyze aggregate monitoring and evaluation data in a way that satisfies multiple audiences at once, including Government of Tanzania requirements, international reporting expectations, and cooperating partner needs. In practice, this points to strengthening routine reporting pipelines, improving data quality, standardizing indicator definitions and reporting processes, and expanding the ministry's ability to turn raw program reports into credible summaries and analyses that can guide program management. The opportunity also highlights the need for systems analysis and process design work inside MOHSW, including support for selecting technology vendors and deploying operational or transaction-processing management systems aligned with standard operating procedures. In other words, the work is not limited to compiling reports; it includes helping the ministry define workflows, choose appropriate tools, and roll out systems that support day-to-day program operations consistently across departments and administrative levels.
Another key deliverable described in the announcement is the creation (or significant strengthening) of a national data warehouse or similar analytical processing environment. The intent is to bring together multiple streams of information that are typically siloed: aggregate HMIS reporting, surveillance and evaluation studies, transactional or operational system data, and relevant National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) datasets. The warehouse concept is framed as more than a storage repository. It is meant to be designed in a way that supports data mining and more advanced analysis, including longitudinal and population-based work that can combine concurrent datasets. The purpose of this integration is explicitly tied to higher-value decision support, such as informing policy formulation, prioritizing and allocating resources, and improving decision-making processes across the health sector rather than within HIV programs alone.
The opportunity also puts strong emphasis on "data use" as an outcome, not just data production. Applicants are expected to support the application of analysis in dissemination products such as papers, abstracts, and report cards, and to help MOHSW communicate results in a way that enables practical dialogue and planning. Dissemination is described as serving multiple levels of the system, from local facilities and councils to district, regional, and national stakeholders, suggesting that the program expects mechanisms for routine feedback and shared interpretation of results, not just one-off national reports. Beyond descriptive reporting, the announcement also calls for supporting policy analysis, projections, and modeling techniques so that the health sector can move toward more evidence-based policymaking, program choices, and resource allocation decisions. That implies technical capacity building in analytic methods and the ability to translate analytic outputs into planning and budgeting conversations.
From an administrative standpoint, the award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC anticipates substantial programmatic involvement during implementation rather than a hands-off grant. The opportunity was posted February 11, 2010, with an original closing date of April 10, 2010 and a revised closing date of April 12, 2010, and it was archived May 10, 2010. CDC anticipated making two awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding level of $8,000,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $250,000 (floor) and $1,000,000 (ceiling). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed. The CFDA number associated with this opportunity is 93.067 (Global AIDS), reflecting its alignment with PEPFAR and HIV strategic information priorities even as the scope extends to broader health information system strengthening.
Eligibility is broad and includes public and private nonprofits, for-profit organizations (including small and minority- or women-owned businesses), universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community- and faith-based organizations, and a range of U.S. governmental entities (state and local governments and their bona fide agents, including U.S. territories). It also allows non-U.S. (non-domestic) entities to apply, which is notable given the in-country systems focus. For applicants applying as a bona fide agent of a state or local government, the announcement specifies that documentation is required in the form of a letter from the relevant government entity submitted with the application materials through Grants.gov.
Taken together, the grant is essentially about building a stronger national informatics backbone for Tanzania's health sector by leveraging HIV program experience: standardizing and harmonizing reporting, improving data management and analytic capacity, supporting selection and deployment of operational systems tied to SOPs, integrating datasets through a data warehouse approach, and ensuring the outputs are actively used through dissemination, stakeholder engagement, and advanced policy and modeling analyses. The end goal is a more coherent "one system" environment where data is trustworthy, connected across sources, and routinely translated into decisions that improve planning and performance across the health sector.
