Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The grant is aimed at supporting the Ghana Health Service (GHS) to strengthen national health management systems in three connected technical areas: strategic information systems, blood safety, and laboratory capacity building. The overall public health intent is to help Ghana move toward sustained HIV epidemic control by improving the underlying systems that allow people living with HIV (PLHIV) to be identified, enrolled in care, and consistently retained on treatment over time.
The opportunity is identified as "SUPPORTING THE GHANA HEALTH SERVICE (GHS) IN THE STRENGTHENING OF NATIONAL HEALTH MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS IN THE AREAS OF STRATEGIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS, BLOOD SAFETY, AND LABORATORY CAPACITY BUILDING UNDER THE PRESIDENT'S EMERGENCY PLAN FOR AIDS RELIEF" and carries the funding opportunity number CDC RFA PS10-10440501SUPP16. It is categorized as a discretionary award and uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which typically means CDC expects substantial involvement in the project beyond standard grant oversight. The activity category is health, and it is associated with CFDA 93.067, which is commonly used for HIV-related public health work supported by CDC.
Programmatically, the description emphasizes systems strengthening rather than direct service delivery. The focus on strategic information systems points to improving the data and monitoring infrastructure needed for HIV program management, including the ability to track patients across the care continuum, measure retention and outcomes, and use timely, reliable data to guide decision-making. The laboratory capacity building component indicates support for strengthening lab systems that underpin HIV care and treatment, such as testing quality, diagnostic capacity, and related lab network functionality. While blood safety is included in the title as a priority area, the short description provided highlights strategic information and laboratory capacity as the core elements tied directly to enrolling and retaining PLHIV in treatment services, suggesting these are the primary levers for achieving epidemic control within the scope described.
In terms of funding parameters, the listed award ceiling is $3,500,000, and CDC anticipated making one award, indicating a single primary recipient was expected to carry out the work at national scale or in close coordination with national systems. The posting date and creation date are both October 30, 2015, and the application closing date was December 30, 2015 (with both the original and current closing dates the same), meaning this was a time-limited solicitation during that period.
Eligibility is summarized in the announcement as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which implies that eligibility details were provided in the full notice but are not included in the excerpt. In practice, this phrasing often signals that the competition may have been targeted or limited to specific types of organizations or partners capable of working closely with GHS and national systems, but the exact eligible entity types are not spelled out in the provided source data.
Taken together, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted PEPFAR-supported investment intended to strengthen Ghana's national HIV program infrastructure, especially the information and laboratory systems needed to keep PLHIV engaged in care and treatment. The structure (a single, sizable cooperative agreement) reinforces that CDC expected deep coordination, technical guidance, and ongoing collaboration to help GHS build durable systems that support sustained HIV epidemic control.
