Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Strengthening Mozambican Capacity in Strategic Information Systems in Mozambique under The President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," is a U.S. government public health grant announcement administered by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically CDC's Center for Global Health (CGH). It is positioned within PEPFAR, the U.S. initiative focused on combating HIV/AIDS globally, and it centers on improving Mozambique's ability to manage, use, and sustain strategic information systems that support HIV program planning, monitoring, and decision-making.
The opportunity is listed as a continuation award mechanism, meaning it is intended to continue or extend work that is already underway rather than launch an entirely new, open-ended competition for a brand-new project concept. The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by CDC in the funded activities compared to a standard grant. In practice, cooperative agreements often involve ongoing technical collaboration, shared planning, and alignment with CDC and PEPFAR reporting and performance expectations, particularly in areas like surveillance, monitoring and evaluation, health information systems, and data quality improvement.
Programmatically, the focus on "strategic information systems" in the context of PEPFAR commonly refers to the data and information infrastructure needed to run an effective national HIV response. That usually includes strengthening systems for collecting and reporting HIV service delivery data; improving data quality, completeness, and timeliness; supporting routine analysis and interpretation of data so that it is actually used for decision-making; and helping build the local workforce and institutional capacity to maintain these systems over time. In Mozambique, such work typically connects to national and subnational health structures and may involve support for electronic health information platforms, routine program monitoring, evaluation frameworks, and surveillance-related activities that allow the HIV program to track progress, identify gaps, and target resources efficiently. The title emphasizes "Mozambican capacity," signaling that the intent is not only short-term technical fixes but also longer-term local capability to operate and manage these strategic information functions.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized under Health and is associated with CFDA number 93.067, which corresponds to CDC's global HIV/AIDS activities. The announcement number is CDC RFA GH15-156303CONT17. The posting indicates an opportunity creation date of September 28, 2016, with an original closing date of November 30, 2016. The expected number of awards is listed as 10, suggesting CDC anticipated multiple continuation awards or continuation actions under this announcement structure. The award ceiling is shown as 0, which generally means that a specific maximum dollar amount was not provided in the summarized fields and would typically be clarified in the full announcement or determined by available funds, approved budgets, and the scope of work for each recipient.
Eligibility is described broadly as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which indicates the precise eligible applicant types are defined in the full funding notice rather than in the abbreviated summary. In many CDC continuation cooperative agreements, eligibility can be restricted to current recipients or a defined set of organizations that meet specific criteria, but the summarized data here points readers to the full eligibility language for confirmation.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as part of PEPFAR's broader push to strengthen data-driven HIV programming in Mozambique by building and reinforcing the strategic information systems and skills needed to monitor the epidemic and the response, improve performance management, and support sustainable national ownership of health information and analytics functions.
