Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funding opportunity CDC RFA GH13-1323, titled "Strengthening Human Resources for Health through Public Health Training Improvements at the Muhimbili University of Health and Allied Sciences (MUHAS), School of Public Health and Social Sciences (SPHSS) in the United Republic of Tanzania under PEPFAR," is a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on building Tanzania's public health workforce and institutional capacity. The overall aim is to strengthen MUHAS SPHSS so it can deliver higher-quality public health training, carry out strong public health research, and graduate larger numbers of well-prepared public health professionals who can help improve the performance of Tanzania's health system. While the opportunity sits under the broader PEPFAR context and is tied to the Global AIDS program area (CFDA 93.067), the emphasis in the description is on sustainable training and research capacity at a core national academic public health institution, which in turn supports health system improvements and long-term workforce development.
This award was structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC would expect to have substantial involvement in the work, such as providing technical input, collaborating on implementation approaches, or supporting monitoring and evaluation expectations. The funding activity category is Health, and the opportunity anticipated making a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1), indicating it was intended to support one primary recipient to implement the effort. The estimated total funding amount listed is $7,500,000, with an award ceiling of $1,500,000 (and no stated award floor), suggesting funding could be distributed over multiple budget periods while staying within an annual or per-budget-period cap. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
In practical terms, the program goal points to investments that improve the quality and scale of public health education and research output at MUHAS SPHSS. That could include strengthening curricula and teaching methods, improving mentorship and supervision structures, enhancing applied research skills and infrastructure, and building systems that increase enrollment, retention, and successful graduation of public health trainees. The intended outcome is not only better-trained graduates, but a larger pipeline of public health professionals equipped to address national health priorities and contribute meaningfully to the functioning of Tanzania's health system, including areas relevant to HIV/AIDS and broader public health needs.
Eligibility was broad and included a wide range of domestic and non-domestic entities. Eligible applicants encompassed nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories), for-profit organizations (other than small business), small/minority/women-owned businesses, universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and various U.S. governmental and tribal entities, as well as non-U.S. entities. This wide eligibility suggests CDC was open to different organizational models for delivering support to MUHAS SPHSS, including direct academic partnerships, implementing partners, consortia led by research institutions, or other capable organizations with relevant public health training and research strengthening experience.
Key timeline information shows the opportunity was posted on February 28, 2013, created in the system on April 16, 2013, with an original closing date of April 3, 2013, later extended to April 16, 2013. The archive date was May 16, 2013, meaning it is no longer open. For applicant support, CDC listed its Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) as the contact point for difficulty accessing the full announcement, with phone number 770-488-2700 and email pgotim@cdc.gov.
