Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a CDC cooperative agreement under PEPFAR aimed at strengthening Angola's health workforce for HIV care and treatment and for applied epidemiology. The award is designed to provide both financial and hands-on technical support to the Government of the Republic of Angola through the National School of Public Health (SPH), which serves as a central coordinating institution for postgraduate public health training in the country. Rather than focusing on direct service delivery alone, the grant emphasizes building durable national capacity by improving the skills, systems, and training structures that prepare health professionals to respond effectively to HIV and related public health priorities.
At the center of the project is Angola's SPH, described as the coordinating body responsible for the logistical, administrative, and educational support needed to run postgraduate education for public health and health care professionals. The opportunity positions SPH as the hub that organizes and aligns training efforts, helping standardize and expand professional development in public health. By strengthening SPH's ability to plan, manage, and deliver training, the cooperative agreement is intended to improve the overall pipeline and performance of the country's human resources for health, particularly in areas critical to HIV program scale-up and quality improvement.
A major component of the work involves coordinating training activities and workshops with other U.S. Government implementing partners. This indicates a collaborative implementation model where SPH convenes and works alongside other partners supported by the U.S. government to deliver targeted capacity-building. The training focus includes improving clinical and programmatic capacity to provide better care and treatment for HIV/AIDS, address sexually transmitted infections, and manage opportunistic and co-infections that often accompany HIV, explicitly including tuberculosis. The opportunity also highlights building the skills needed to initiate and run programs that manage and provide antiretroviral therapy (ART), signaling an intent to strengthen both clinical competence and the operational know-how required for ART program implementation and maintenance.
Beyond clinical training, the cooperative agreement places strong emphasis on epidemiology and the use of surveillance data. SPH is expected to strengthen the capacity of health care professionals to collect, analyze, and use surveillance and program data, which is essential for tracking the epidemic, targeting resources, monitoring outcomes, and continuously improving HIV services. This includes workshops and trainings aimed at enabling professionals to manage national HIV/AIDS programs more effectively, suggesting improvements in program oversight, monitoring and evaluation, and evidence-based decision-making at national or sub-national levels.
Administratively, this is a discretionary CDC funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH16-1605) using a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning CDC would typically have substantial involvement in guiding and supporting implementation compared to a standard grant. The opportunity was posted February 8, 2016, with an application closing date of April 8, 2016. The award ceiling is $200,000, and CDC anticipated making one award, indicating a single recipient would be selected to carry out the scope of work. The assistance is cataloged under CFDA 93.067, and eligibility is listed as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full eligibility text.
In practical terms, the opportunity can be understood as an investment in Angola's institutional training capacity and workforce readiness: strengthening SPH as a national training coordinator, expanding and improving professional training on HIV/ART, STIs, TB and other co-infections, and boosting the ability of health professionals and program managers to use surveillance data to run stronger HIV/AIDS programs. The intended outcome is a better-prepared public health and clinical workforce that can improve the quality, effectiveness, and sustainability of Angola's HIV response under PEPFAR.
