Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH15 158503CONT17
The grant opportunity titled "Strengthening Regional and Community Health Systems through Support for Field Epidemiology in Tanzania under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)" is a U.S. government public health funding announcement administered by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically within CDC's Center for Global Health (CGH). It is framed as support for Tanzania's health system at regional and community levels by strengthening field epidemiology capacity, which typically refers to building the workforce, tools, and operational practices needed to detect, investigate, and respond to health events and program performance issues. Because it is explicitly connected to PEPFAR, the work is situated within the broader U.S. initiative to control the HIV epidemic and reduce HIV-related illness and death, while also reinforcing public health systems that can support HIV programs and other priority health areas.
This particular notice is identified as a continuation opportunity, meaning it is designed to continue or extend an existing program rather than launch a brand-new initiative open to a wide field of first-time applicants. The Funding Opportunity Number is CDC RFA GH15-158503CONT17, and the mechanism is a cooperative agreement. In federal grants practice, a cooperative agreement is distinct from a standard grant in that CDC generally anticipates substantial involvement during implementation. That often includes close collaboration on technical strategy, performance monitoring, evaluation approaches, and alignment with national priorities and U.S. government policies. The activity category is listed as Health, and the CFDA number attached to the opportunity is 93.067, which is a CDC assistance listing associated with global health activities.
The geographic and programmatic focus is Tanzania, with an emphasis on regional and community health systems. In practical terms, "support for field epidemiology" commonly includes activities such as strengthening surveillance and data systems, improving outbreak detection and response capacity, mentoring and training epidemiologists and surveillance officers, strengthening data quality and use for decision-making, and building the operational link between health facilities, district or regional health management teams, and national public health institutions. Within a PEPFAR context, those field epidemiology functions can be used to improve HIV case surveillance, monitor HIV program outcomes, identify service gaps or emerging issues (for example, spikes in treatment interruptions or localized increases in HIV incidence), and support targeted interventions. Even when an award is HIV-focused, field epidemiology investments frequently have spillover benefits for broader public health preparedness and routine health system performance.
The eligibility field indicates "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which signals that eligibility was not limited to a simple category like state governments or universities in the main listing. Continuation announcements like this are often limited in practice to the current recipient(s) that have been implementing the project, or to a narrowly defined set of entities that meet specific program requirements. The listing also indicates that CDC expected to make one award, reinforcing the likelihood that this is a continuation for a single implementing partner working with CDC and in coordination with Tanzanian government counterparts.
Key administrative dates included a creation date of October 13, 2016, and an original closing date of December 13, 2016. Those dates define the window in which applications or continuation materials were due for CDC review. The award ceiling is shown as 0, which usually means the ceiling amount was not specified in the synopsis data and would typically be defined in the full funding announcement or in subsequent award documentation, rather than indicating that no funding is available. The award instrument being a cooperative agreement also implies that budgets and work plans would be negotiated and refined in coordination with CDC based on technical priorities, performance, and available PEPFAR resources.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a CDC-led, PEPFAR-aligned cooperative agreement intended to sustain and deepen field epidemiology capacity in Tanzania as a way to strengthen regional and community health systems. The structure of the announcement (continuation, single expected award, cooperative agreement) points to an ongoing, closely managed public health program where CDC is actively engaged with the recipient to ensure that epidemiology support translates into measurable improvements in surveillance, data use, and health system response capabilities that ultimately bolster HIV program effectiveness and broader health security.Apply for CDC RFA GH15 158503CONT17
