Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Strengthening the National Institutes of Health in the Republic of Mozambique under the President s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement intended to strengthen Mozambique s National Institutes of Health (INS). INS was established as a core public health institution responsible for functions that are essential to national health security and routine public health operations, including disease surveillance, monitoring and evaluation of public health programs, outbreak investigations, laboratory science, and the training of health professionals. The overall aim of the funding is to build both the physical infrastructure and the human capacity of INS, while improving the quality, timeliness, and practical use of health information produced in Mozambique.
The project is organized around several major capacity-building goals that together support stronger evidence-based public health action. One major focus is the development and strengthening of national reference laboratories. This includes improving laboratory capacity so Mozambique can more reliably detect, confirm, and monitor priority diseases, support outbreak investigations, and produce laboratory data that can be used confidently for surveillance and program decisions. Strengthened reference laboratories also typically serve as national anchors for quality assurance, standard operating procedures, and specialized testing that is not available at lower levels of the health system.
Another core area is support for demographic surveillance site (DSS) activities. DSS platforms are used to track population health and demographic trends over time in defined geographic areas, producing data on births, deaths, migration, and sometimes disease patterns and risk factors. By supporting these sites, the program helps Mozambique maintain a reliable, continuous source of population-level information that can complement routine health facility reporting, fill gaps where civil registration is limited, and provide a foundation for measuring health outcomes and the impact of interventions.
The announcement also emphasizes expanding and improving surveillance for causes of morbidity and mortality across Mozambique through national and sentinel surveillance systems. National surveillance refers to broader coverage across the country, while sentinel surveillance typically uses selected sites that are designed to provide high-quality, detailed data that can signal trends, detect emerging problems, or monitor specific conditions more intensively. This component is meant to improve understanding of what illnesses and conditions are making people sick and what is contributing to deaths, enabling health authorities to set priorities, target resources, and evaluate whether interventions are working.
Human resources development is another central pillar. The program plans to enhance the workforce capacity of INS and the broader national health system through scholarships and training programs. In practice, this kind of support is meant to increase the number of professionals with advanced skills in areas like epidemiology, laboratory sciences, biostatistics, data management, monitoring and evaluation, and public health leadership. Strengthening the workforce supports sustainability, because the ability to run surveillance systems, manage laboratory networks, and conduct rigorous analyses depends on trained personnel who can operate and improve these systems over time.
Monitoring and evaluation (M and E) is highlighted as a specific objective, focused on assessing programs, interventions, and initiatives intended to improve health and safety in Mozambique. This reflects a goal of making public health programming more measurable and accountable by strengthening how results are tracked, how data quality is assured, and how findings are used to improve implementation. Stronger M and E capacity also supports PEPFAR-related performance monitoring, since HIV and AIDS investments rely heavily on timely, credible indicators to guide program decisions.
Finally, the opportunity prioritizes improving INS capacity to gather, analyze, disseminate, and use timely and accurate health indicator data. This is essentially a data-to-action goal: not only collecting information, but ensuring it is processed and interpreted correctly, shared with decision-makers and stakeholders, and used to guide policy, resource allocation, and operational planning. It points to strengthening data systems and analytic workflows so that health information becomes more actionable and more responsive to emerging needs, including outbreaks and shifting disease burdens.
From an administrative standpoint, the funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, meaning CDC would typically have substantial involvement in the technical direction or collaboration compared to a more hands-off grant. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding in the health area under CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS), with an estimated total funding level of 12,000,000 and an expectation of a single award. There is no stated cost-sharing or matching requirement. The posting date was Jan 21, 2011, with a closing date of Mar 21, 2011, and an archive date of Apr 20, 2011, indicating it is an older and no longer active opportunity.
A key detail in the eligibility and competition language is that this notice explicitly states it is not a request for applications and is instead a public notice of CDC s intention to fund the described activities without full and open competition. In other words, it functions more as a formal announcement of intent to make an award rather than an open call where multiple applicants compete. For technical access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is CDC s Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) at 770 488 2700.
