Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH15 154303CONT17
This opportunity is a U.S. government continuation grant (a Cooperative Agreement) focused on strengthening the strategic information systems that support HIV/AIDS programs in Kenya under the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). In practical terms, it is meant to reinforce the data and evidence backbone of HIV programming so that decision-makers can better understand where the epidemic is changing, which interventions are working, where gaps remain, and how to respond quickly and efficiently. The emphasis is on three tightly linked areas: surveillance and epidemiology, monitoring and evaluation (M and E), and the use of mobile health (mHealth) solutions to improve the speed, quality, and usefulness of HIV-related information.
The funding is administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically CDC's Center for Global Health. The award mechanism is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally signals substantial involvement by CDC in the implementation and technical direction of the work, rather than a purely hands-off grant. The activity category is Health, and it is associated with CFDA 93.067, a CDC global health assistance program area often used for international HIV and related public health efforts.
The notice identifies this as a continuation funding opportunity (Opportunity Category: Continuation). That typically means the award is intended to continue an existing project or relationship rather than launch a broad, open competition for new partners. The listing shows one expected award, reinforcing the idea that this is likely structured to support an incumbent implementer or a very limited pool of eligible organizations. Eligibility is labeled as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which usually indicates the applicant must meet specific criteria spelled out in the full announcement (for example, being a current recipient or having a defined role in an existing cooperative agreement). In the summary information provided here, that additional eligibility detail is not included, so any organization considering this would need the full RFA package to confirm whether it can apply.
Programmatically, the grant centers on "strategic information capacity" for HIV/AIDS programs in Kenya. Strategic information is the set of systems and practices that produce actionable data for planning, targeting, implementation, and accountability. In the Kenyan HIV context, this can include strengthening routine program data systems, improving data quality processes, supporting more robust epidemiologic analyses, enhancing the measurement of treatment cascade outcomes (testing, linkage, retention, viral load monitoring, viral suppression), and ensuring that data are used consistently for course correction. Surveillance and epidemiology components generally involve collecting and analyzing data that track HIV burden and trends, identify high-risk populations and geographic hot spots, and measure indicators like incidence, prevalence, and mortality where feasible. Monitoring and evaluation components typically focus on performance measurement of PEPFAR-supported services, data verification and quality improvement, reporting processes, and building local capacity to interpret and use results. The mention of mobile health solutions suggests a deliberate push to use phones, tablets, SMS, or other digital tools to improve timeliness and completeness of reporting, support field supervision, enable patient follow-up or appointment reminders where appropriate, and streamline data capture in community or facility settings.
A few administrative details frame the opportunity. The Funding Opportunity Number is CDC RFA GH15-154303CONT17, which signals a continuation cycle (the "CONT" suffix) tied to a larger or earlier RFA series. The posting date (Creation Date) is October 6, 2016, with an original closing date of December 8, 2016. The notice lists an award ceiling of 0, which usually means the maximum funding amount is not specified in the simplified listing and would be defined in the full announcement or negotiated based on available funds, project scope, and CDC priorities. The expected number of awards is one, which aligns with the continuation nature of the opportunity.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as support for a single partner to help Kenya's HIV response run on stronger, faster, and more trustworthy data. By improving surveillance, epidemiology, M and E systems, and mHealth-enabled information flows, the intent is to help PEPFAR and Kenyan stakeholders make better evidence-based decisions, target resources more precisely, track progress toward HIV control goals, and demonstrate results in a transparent and accountable way.Apply for CDC RFA GH15 154303CONT17
