Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Strengthening Systems, Capacity, and Data Collection with a Focus on Strategic Information in South Sudan under the Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," was a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement aimed at improving the HIV response in South Sudan by building stronger health information systems and expanding the country s ability to collect, manage, analyze, and use high quality data. It sits under PEPFAR, which is led globally by the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, and it reflects PEPFAR s approach of tailoring support to the host country s needs while aligning with the host nation s strategic plan and partnership framework. In practical terms, the opportunity was designed to help ensure that decisions about HIV prevention, treatment, and care are guided by reliable strategic information, and that South Sudan s institutions and workforce are better equipped to sustain those information systems over time.
The funding mechanism was a cooperative agreement, which typically means the CDC would expect substantial involvement during implementation, such as technical guidance, joint planning, or coordination on monitoring and reporting. The activity category was health, and the CFDA listing was 93.067 (Global AIDS). The CDC anticipated making two awards, with an estimated total funding amount of 17,300,000 dollars. The stated award ceiling was up to 5,000,000 dollars, indicating that individual awards could be sizable but not exceed that cap, while overall funding across awards would support multiple implementing partners and workstreams related to strategic information and system strengthening.
The core focus on "strategic information" signals an emphasis on the data backbone of the HIV program rather than direct clinical service delivery alone. In the PEPFAR context, strategic information usually includes strengthening monitoring and evaluation systems, improving routine reporting and data quality, supporting surveillance and surveys when appropriate, building capacity for data analysis and interpretation, and promoting the use of data for planning, targeting resources, and demonstrating results. For a country like South Sudan, where health system infrastructure and data systems have historically faced major constraints, the intent would be to strengthen foundational capabilities such as standardized indicators, consistent reporting structures, training for data personnel, supervision and mentoring, data quality assurance, and mechanisms that allow program managers to translate numbers into decisions. The wording about "systems, capacity, and data collection" also points to investments in institutional capacity, such as supporting ministries, health facilities, and partner organizations to develop durable processes, tools, and staff skills, rather than creating parallel reporting channels that disappear when a project ends.
Eligibility was broad and included a wide range of U.S. and non U.S. entities. Eligible applicants included nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status, for profit organizations (other than small businesses), small minority and women owned businesses, universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community based and faith based organizations, and various tribal entities and tribal health organizations. State and local governments and their bona fide agents could also apply, including U.S. territories and certain affiliated jurisdictions. Non domestic (non U.S.) entities were explicitly eligible, which is important for a South Sudan focused opportunity because it opens the door to local and regional implementing organizations as well as international partners. For applicants proposing to apply as a bona fide agent of a state or local government, the announcement required a formal legal agreement documenting that status, to be included with the application materials submitted through Grants.gov.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on February 2, 2012, with an original and current closing date of April 2, 2012, and it was archived on May 2, 2012. The funding opportunity number was CDC RFA GH12 1256. For support accessing the full announcement, the CDC provided contact details for the Procurement and Grants Office technical information management support line (CDC PGOTIMS), including a phone number and email address. Overall, the opportunity was essentially about making the HIV response in South Sudan more measurable, accountable, and effective by strengthening the information systems and human capacity needed to generate trustworthy data and use it to drive program decisions in line with PEPFAR goals and the country s own strategy.
