Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH20 2064
This grant opportunity is a CDC-funded PEPFAR cooperative agreement focused on strengthening the Government of Tanzania's ability to oversee and improve HIV program performance through better laboratory systems, stronger scientific and ethical oversight, more rigorous monitoring and evaluation, and expanded geo-spatial analysis capacity. The effort is centered on building up the National Institute of Medical Research (NIMR), a government parastatal institution that works with national and implementing partners to generate and share evidence, translate findings into policy and practice, and support improvements across the HIV service delivery continuum aligned with the 95/95/95 goals. In practical terms, the opportunity is designed to reinforce the national systems that sit behind effective HIV programming: the labs that ensure quality testing, the research processes that ensure trustworthy and ethically reviewed evidence, and the data systems that allow the country to track what is working and where gaps remain.
A major component of the award is basic support for core functions of the National Health Laboratory Quality Assurance and Training Center (NHLQATC), which is housed within the NIMR complex. The intent is to improve national laboratory oversight and quality assurance so that HIV-related testing and other laboratory services are reliable, standardized, and capable of supporting epidemic control. By strengthening quality assurance and training functions, the program aims to ensure laboratory systems can consistently produce accurate results and follow best practices, which is critical for diagnosis, treatment initiation, viral load monitoring, and overall program credibility.
The opportunity also emphasizes strengthening scientific oversight by improving how research is reviewed, approved, and managed. It calls for implementing a more efficient and systematized research process, including institutionalizing thorough ethical review procedures. This reflects a focus on protecting human subjects, maintaining research integrity, and ensuring that studies and evaluations used to guide HIV programming meet acceptable ethical and scientific standards. Beyond review and approvals, the grant places strong weight on timely dissemination of results, meaning research and evaluation findings should not sit on shelves but instead be translated into actionable information that can shape policies, guidelines, and program implementation decisions.
Another key deliverable is improving the Master Health Facility List (MFL). The MFL is foundational infrastructure for health information systems because it standardizes the identification and classification of facilities, which in turn affects reporting quality, planning, resource allocation, and geographic mapping of services. Under this opportunity, the MFL would be improved and then maintained by the Ministry of Health (MOH), signaling an emphasis on government ownership and long-term sustainability. A better facility list also supports more accurate linking of HIV program data to specific service delivery points and improves national visibility into coverage and gaps.
The grant further targets stronger use of financial and economic data to guide CDC/PEPFAR programming. Specifically, it supports routine collection, analysis, and sharing of HIV/AIDS financial and economic data with the program team. This is meant to improve how decisions are made about investments, efficiency, and value for money, and to help align funding with the highest-impact interventions. By building routines and capacity around financial and economic data, the program aims to make budgeting, prioritization, and performance management more evidence-driven rather than purely activity-driven.
In addition, the opportunity aims to improve overall health evaluation capacity within the Government of Tanzania. This includes strengthening the ability to monitor evidence-based HIV interventions and to generate credible evaluation findings quickly enough to inform real-world decisions. The emphasis on timely dissemination appears repeatedly, reinforcing that the end goal is not evaluation for its own sake, but evaluation that directly supports policy and practice adjustments, including course corrections when interventions are not delivering expected results.
A distinct focus area is expanding geo-spatial technology capacity to analyze and visualize health data. This involves using mapping and spatial analytics to understand where services are located, where the burden of HIV is concentrated, where testing and treatment gaps exist, and how resources can be targeted more precisely. Strengthening geo-spatial analysis supports more strategic planning and can help decision-makers identify underserved areas, optimize facility catchment strategies, and improve the geographic targeting of interventions, which is especially important for achieving and sustaining epidemic control.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity is a discretionary cooperative agreement administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), under CFDA 93.067. CDC anticipated approximately $1,000,000 in total funding for the first year, contingent on fund availability, with one expected award. The notice lists an award ceiling for Year 1 as $0, which typically indicates the ceiling was not specified in the standard format even though an approximate funding amount was stated elsewhere in the notice. The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA GH20 2064, it was posted January 8, 2020, and the original application deadline was March 8, 2020 (applications due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time). Eligibility is described broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement.
Overall, this grant opportunity is about strengthening the government systems that make HIV programs more accurate, accountable, and responsive: quality-assured laboratories, credible and ethical research oversight, robust monitoring and evaluation, stronger facility and data infrastructure, better financial and economic analysis, and modern geo-spatial tools that turn complex health data into practical insights for policy and decision-making.Apply for CDC RFA GH20 2064
