Opportunity Summary:
The CDC funding opportunity (CDC RFA GH15-1573) is a PEPFAR-supported cooperative agreement focused on strengthening HIV strategic information in the Republic of Senegal. Its central aim is to improve how Senegal collects, manages, and uses HIV data for public health decision-making by building out a national HIV case reporting system and expanding key surveillance activities that feed into the country s broader Strategic Information program. In practice, the opportunity is about making HIV data more complete, more reliable, and more actionable so national leaders and program managers can better track the epidemic, target services, and measure progress.
A major program objective in the announcement is to carry out a round of HIV surveillance among pregnant women attending antenatal care (ANC) using routine prevention of mother to child transmission (PMTCT) program data, with a target timeline of 2016. Rather than creating an entirely separate survey platform, the approach emphasizes leveraging routine PMTCT data already being generated in clinics and then improving its quality. That includes evaluating and strengthening the completeness and accuracy of PMTCT records and the quality of HIV testing conducted within ANC and PMTCT services. The intent is to make routine service data strong enough to function as a credible surveillance source, which can reduce costs, minimize duplication, and provide more continuous insight into HIV trends among pregnant women.
The second major objective is to support the Senegal National AIDS Control Program (CNLS) in establishing a national HIV case surveillance system by 2019. This component builds on a pilot case surveillance system that began in 2013 and calls for strengthening and expanding that pilot toward a national system. A national case surveillance system typically focuses on standardized case reporting, deduplication, and ongoing monitoring of diagnoses and outcomes, which helps public health authorities understand where new cases are being identified, whether people are entering care, and how well programs are reaching populations over time. The FOA frames this as a core strategic information capability for Senegal, positioning surveillance not as a one-time activity but as a sustainable national function.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning the CDC would expect substantial involvement in technical direction and collaboration rather than acting purely as a pass-through funder. The activity category is health and it is tied to CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS). The posted date was September 8, 2014, with an original closing date of October 19, 2014 and an updated closing date of October 23, 2014, and it was later archived on November 18, 2014. The announcement lists an award ceiling of 350,000 dollars and indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility is broad and spans both governmental and non governmental entities. Eligible applicants include national ministries of health and other government organizations, as well as U.S. state and local governments or bona fide agents, territorial governments, American Indian or Alaska Native tribal governments and related tribal health entities, and political subdivisions of states. On the non government side, eligible applicants include nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in those categories as stated), research institutions performing activities considered non research, colleges and universities, community based and faith based organizations, hospitals, for profit organizations (other than small businesses), and small, minority, and women owned businesses, along with other eligible organizations referenced in the eligibility clarification text.
Overall, the FOA is essentially a strategic information strengthening package for Senegal that prioritizes two deliverables: improved use of routine PMTCT data for ANC based surveillance in the near term, and the stepwise development of a national HIV case surveillance system anchored by and expanding upon the 2013 pilot. The CDC is the issuing agency, and the contact listed for access issues is the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section at 770-488-2700.
