Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH16 1671
The grant opportunity titled "Strengthening the National Health Strategic Information System through Support for Surveillance and Laboratory Infrastructure in the Republic of Zambia under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)" is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement intended to reinforce Zambia's national health strategic information system, with a clear focus on surveillance and laboratory capacity related to HIV, sexually transmitted infections, and tuberculosis (HIV/STI/TB). It sits under PEPFAR, meaning it is designed to support the evidence and data systems that guide HIV/AIDS program planning, targeting, and performance monitoring, rather than only funding direct clinical services. The core idea is that stronger surveillance and laboratory infrastructure produce more reliable, timely, and actionable data, which in turn helps national decision-makers understand where transmission is occurring, which populations are most affected, how well interventions are working, and where resources should be prioritized.
The specific recipient emphasized in the opportunity is the Tropical Diseases Research Centre (TDRC) in Zambia. The description highlights two connected goals: first, to support national HIV/STI/TB surveillance programs; and second, to continue strengthening TDRC's capacity to collect, manage, analyze, and use surveillance data to inform national HIV/AIDS programming. In practical terms, this kind of award typically supports improvements across the full surveillance "pipeline" such as standardized data collection methods, improved laboratory diagnostics and quality assurance, better linkage between lab results and case-based or program data, and the strengthening of systems that turn raw data into useful information for the Ministry of Health and other national stakeholders. Because HIV and TB epidemics are tightly linked in many settings, and STIs can be both a public health priority and a marker of HIV transmission risk, the integrated scope suggests an emphasis on coordinated surveillance rather than siloed reporting.
The opportunity is identified as CDC RFA GH16-1671 and is categorized as discretionary funding through a cooperative agreement. A cooperative agreement generally indicates substantial involvement by CDC during implementation, often through technical guidance, collaborative planning, and ongoing performance oversight. That structure is commonly used when the funder expects to work closely with the awardee on surveillance standards, laboratory methods, quality systems, data use practices, and alignment with national and global reporting requirements. The funding activity category is health, and the CFDA (now often referenced as an assistance listing) number is 93.067, which is associated with CDC global health assistance.
In terms of basic award parameters, the posting indicates an award ceiling of $750,000 and an expectation of a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1). Eligible applicants are listed broadly as "Others," but the narrative and location details point to TDRC as the central implementing institution. The opportunity was created on February 5, 2016, with an original closing date of April 5, 2016, placing it within a time window when PEPFAR programs were heavily emphasizing data quality, surveillance modernization, and the use of strategic information to improve targeting and accountability.
Overall, this grant is best understood as an investment in the backbone of Zambia's HIV response: surveillance and laboratory systems that enable credible measurement of disease burden and trends, early detection of changes in epidemics, and better-informed program decisions. By strengthening TDRC's ability to generate and use high-quality surveillance data, the award aims to improve the national capacity to monitor HIV, STIs, and TB and to translate that information into more effective HIV/AIDS policies and interventions.Apply for CDC RFA GH16 1671
