Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH19 1951
The grant opportunity titled "Strategic Information Support Across Countries under the Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)" (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA GH19-1951) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement designed to strengthen strategic information and monitoring and evaluation across PEPFAR-prioritized countries. In practical terms, the award is meant to help countries and implementing partners build stronger systems for tracking HIV and tuberculosis (TB) epidemics and program performance, so that decision makers can see what is happening in real time, fix problems quickly, and demonstrate measurable impact and accountability to funders and communities.
The core purpose of the NOFO is to reinforce strategic information activities tied to program and clinical monitoring and evaluation (M&E). It emphasizes improving the data foundations needed to run effective HIV and TB programs: surveillance systems that describe epidemic trends, monitoring systems that track service delivery and patient outcomes, health information systems that capture and connect data from clinics and laboratories, and statistical methods that turn raw data into reliable estimates and actionable insights. The overall intent is that better data and stronger analytic capacity will translate into more efficient patient management, clearer measurement of program results, and stronger accountability assessments across PEPFAR-supported efforts.
Funded activities are broad but center on improving how HIV and TB data are collected, managed, analyzed, and used. Examples include establishing or upgrading M&E systems and tools, assessing and strengthening national and subnational health information systems, and improving mapping approaches to understand where services are needed most and which populations are being missed. The NOFO also highlights program and laboratory data quality improvement work, which can include data quality assessments, routine data verification, standardization of indicators, and improving data flows between laboratories and clinical sites so that test results (such as viral load for HIV or diagnostic results for TB) are available quickly and correctly linked to the right patient record. Another major focus is enhanced monitoring and clinical cascade analysis, meaning the systematic review of how patients move through prevention, testing, treatment initiation, retention, and outcomes, and using those findings to close gaps.
A central theme is data use, not just data collection. The opportunity is geared toward helping countries and partners routinely use information for decision making, whether that is optimizing testing strategies, identifying facilities with retention challenges, targeting supportive supervision, or adjusting interventions for key populations. The NOFO explicitly ties these improvements to achieving the 95-95-95 goals, which depend heavily on knowing who has been diagnosed, who is on treatment, and who is virally suppressed, and being able to track those outcomes accurately across locations and over time.
Expected outcomes during the award period focus on lasting capacity improvements rather than one-off analyses. The CDC anticipates that recipients will help partners and host country counterparts implement or strengthen routine HIV and TB surveillance and M&E activities, improve data quality and data linkage across platforms, and increase the practical use of information for program management. Another expected outcome is better coordination between multiple data systems so patient-level information can be used in a timely way, including improved tracking for key populations where confidentiality, mobility, and stigma can complicate follow-up. Ultimately, the award is meant to improve the ability to measure the HIV response at global, national, and local levels by making data more accurate, connected, timely, and decision-relevant.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning CDC would typically have substantial involvement through technical collaboration and ongoing engagement rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The program sits within the health funding category and is associated with CFDA number 93.067. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, open to any type of entity that meets the requirements in the full announcement. The opportunity was created on August 13, 2018, with an original closing date of October 15, 2018 (applications due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time). The award ceiling listed is $10,000,000, and CDC expected to make two awards, indicating a limited number of recipients operating across multiple countries or regions to deliver targeted strategic information support at scale.Apply for CDC RFA GH19 1951
