Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH19 1965
The grant opportunity titled "Strengthening HIV Strategic Information Activities in the Republic of Senegal under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)" is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement designed to strengthen how Senegal tracks, analyzes, and uses HIV data to manage the national response. The overall purpose is to build and reinforce the capacity of Senegal's Ministry of Health and Social Action (MHSA) to monitor the direction and progression of the HIV epidemic through stronger strategic information systems and a more complete national HIV case-based surveillance (CBS) program. In practical terms, the opportunity focuses on making HIV surveillance more timely, more standardized, and more usable for decision-making across prevention, testing, treatment, and broader HIV control programming.
A central aim of the opportunity is improving strategic information (SI) functions, meaning the systems and skills needed to turn surveillance and program data into actionable insights. Expected work under this objective includes expanding MHSA capacity to manage, analyze, and use CBS data for planning and implementing HIV control activities, rather than treating surveillance as a purely reporting exercise. The NOFO also emphasizes strengthening the ministry's ability to monitor and evaluate the impact of interventions, which implies better measurement of outcomes and trends over time, improved interpretation of data, and stronger feedback loops so that program strategies can be adjusted based on evidence.
The other major aim is to improve and expand Senegal's national HIV case-based surveillance system itself. CBS is intended to capture information on individuals diagnosed with HIV and to link key events that occur after diagnosis, enabling routine analysis of individual-level data. The expected activities here start with establishing national guidelines for case reporting, which typically means creating clear definitions, procedures, roles, and data standards so that reporting is consistent across sites and regions. The opportunity then calls for developing and/or enhancing the CBS platform so it can capture newly diagnosed HIV cases and subsequent sentinel events, supporting more complete longitudinal tracking and routine analysis that can reveal patterns in diagnosis, linkage to care, treatment progression, and other program-relevant milestones.
Implementation is expected to extend to the facility level by rolling out or strengthening use of the CBS system at HIV testing sites and care and treatment sites, ensuring that reporting is embedded in day-to-day service delivery settings. Because national systems often struggle with duplicate records when the same person appears in multiple facilities, the NOFO explicitly includes developing a system of unique identifiers to track individuals and deduplicate cases. This is a core requirement for producing accurate counts and reliable indicators, and it supports better linkage across services while reducing inflation or fragmentation of surveillance records.
The opportunity also places strong emphasis on the people and operational practices that make surveillance work. It includes training and supportive supervision for providers and other personnel responsible for reporting HIV cases, recognizing that data quality and completeness depend heavily on consistent workflows, understanding of requirements, and ongoing technical support. Finally, the NOFO highlights interfacing laboratory information systems with the CBS system, which is critical for incorporating lab results into surveillance records, improving timeliness, reducing manual entry, and strengthening the ability to monitor clinical markers and key events that are often first recorded in laboratory systems.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, CDC (Center for Global Health), offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the CDC expects to be substantially involved through technical collaboration and oversight compared to a standard grant. The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA GH19-1965 and it falls under CFDA 93.067. The maximum award amount listed is $550,000, with one expected award. The opportunity was posted on September 30, 2019, with an original closing date of November 29, 2019, and applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
