Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH17 1765
This funding opportunity, titled "Strengthening National Capacity for Integrated HIV/AIDS Health Data Collection, Use, and Dissemination in Support of an Evidence-based Response in South Sudan under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," is a CDC-led cooperative agreement designed to improve how South Sudan collects, manages, analyzes, and shares HIV/AIDS health data so the national response can be guided by solid evidence rather than ad hoc reporting. The focus is on strategic information systems that support decision-making across the HIV program, including routine monitoring, surveillance activities, and the practical use of data by government and partners. Because it is structured as a cooperative agreement, it implies substantial CDC involvement and technical collaboration during implementation, not just a pass-through grant.
The opportunity is framed by South Sudan's recent political history and the realities of its health system. South Sudan became independent in July 2011, but civil conflict began in 2013, which severely disrupted public services, weakened institutional capacity, and complicated nationwide data collection. In that context, the HIV/AIDS response has remained largely donor funded, making standardized and reliable data even more important for aligning partner activities, tracking coverage, identifying gaps, and justifying where limited resources should be directed. The grant positions data as an essential tool for stabilizing and strengthening an evidence-based HIV response despite insecurity and system constraints.
CDC notes that it previously funded a related project called "Strengthening Systems, Capacity, and Data Collection with Focus on Strategic Information" running from September 30, 2012 through March 31, 2017. That earlier effort produced key foundational outputs, including the development of an HIV/AIDS strategic information and capacity strengthening plan, along with some progress in monitoring and in surveillance and survey activities. This new opportunity can be understood as building on that base and pushing further toward an integrated national approach where HIV program data are routinely collected with better quality, compiled in usable formats, and actively disseminated for planning, program improvement, and accountability.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Center for Global Health (CDC-CGH), and falls under CFDA 93.067. It is a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement funding instrument under a health activity category. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning a wide range of applicant organizations could apply as long as they meet standard federal requirements. The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA GH17-1765, with an original closing date of October 17, 2016, and a creation date of August 15, 2016. The program anticipates a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1), with an award ceiling of $3,500,000, indicating a sizable, centralized investment intended to support national-level systems strengthening rather than multiple smaller projects.
In practical terms, the grant is aimed at strengthening national capacity for integrated HIV/AIDS data work across the full data cycle: collection, quality assurance, management, analysis, use, and dissemination. "Integrated" signals an emphasis on bringing together data from multiple sources (for example, facility reporting, program monitoring, and surveillance/survey efforts) so that decision-makers can see a coherent picture rather than fragmented datasets. The end goal is a more evidence-based response in South Sudan under PEPFAR, where reliable strategic information supports planning, prioritization, performance monitoring, and transparent reporting to stakeholders, including the government, implementing partners, and donors.Apply for CDC RFA GH17 1765
