Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Support For HIV/AIDS Population Based Surveys And Statistical Capacity Building In Zambia" (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA GH12 1246), is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) initiative designed to improve how Zambia collects, analyzes, and uses HIV/AIDS data for national decision making. The central idea is to strengthen the Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) in statistical analysis by formalizing support through the Zambia Central Statistical Office (CSO). In practice, the CSO would be positioned as a technical hub that can provide statistical support across government institutions that run or manage HIV/AIDS programs, helping ensure data products are consistent, credible, and usable across agencies.
A major focus of the program is support for population-based HIV/AIDS surveys that Zambia relies on to measure the scope of the epidemic and evaluate how well national programs are working. The opportunity specifically references large, well-known survey platforms such as the AIDS Indicator Survey (AIS) and the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS), along with other HIV/AIDS-related surveys the GRZ may choose to implement. These surveys are essential because they provide nationally representative indicators that routine program reporting often cannot capture on its own, such as population-level prevalence estimates, testing coverage, prevention behaviors, service uptake, and other core metrics used to judge the effectiveness of the national HIV response over time.
Beyond supporting individual surveys, the opportunity emphasizes the longer-term systems side of data management. A key goal is aligning and integrating information systems across the HIV/AIDS landscape and supporting the establishment of a national data repository. The intent is to reduce fragmentation where different institutions maintain separate databases and reporting structures that do not easily connect, which can lead to duplication, inconsistent figures, and slow access to reliable information. By working toward integrated systems and a centralized repository, the program aims to make higher-quality data more readily available for planning, resource allocation, monitoring, and policy decisions.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning CDC would typically expect substantial involvement in technical direction and oversight compared to a standard grant. It falls under the Health activity category and is tied to CFDA number 93.067 (Global AIDS). The announcement projected a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The estimated total funding was listed as $14,000,000, with an award ceiling of $2,000,000 and no award floor specified. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement noted.
An important detail in the eligibility and competition language is that this notice states it is not a request for applications. Instead, it is a public notice of CDCs intention to fund the described project activities without full and open competition. In other words, the posting functions more as a transparency notice than an open call where multiple applicants submit proposals. The eligible applicants field points to "Others (see text field...)," but the accompanying eligibility statement clarifies that the agency did not intend to run a fully competitive application process for this specific award.
Key timeline details include a posted date of January 27, 2012, and an original and current closing date of March 27, 2012, with an archive date of April 26, 2012. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), reachable by phone at 770-488-2700.
