Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH17 1723
This funding opportunity, titled "Strengthening the National Institutes of Health in the Republic of Mozambique under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," is a CDC-led cooperative agreement designed to reinforce Mozambique's National Institute of Health (Instituto Nacional de Saude, INS) as a core public health institution. The INS sits within the Ministry of Health (MISAU) but operates with a degree of autonomy and holds specialized, national-level responsibilities that are essential to Mozambique's ability to prevent, detect, and respond to public health threats. In practice, the INS is positioned as a central hub for the collection, analysis, and dissemination of health information that other Ministry of Health departments and external partners rely on for decision-making.
The main purpose of the award is capacity building: strengthening both the human workforce and the material resources of the INS so it can perform critical functions more effectively and consistently. The opportunity description emphasizes that the INS has been tasked with national disease surveillance, monitoring and evaluation (M and E) of public health programs, outbreak investigations, laboratory science and support, and the training of health professionals. These are foundational capabilities for any national public health system, and they are particularly important within the PEPFAR context because effective HIV program planning and oversight depends on reliable surveillance data, strong laboratory networks, and rigorous evaluation systems. A recurring theme in the announcement is that the INS currently faces severe shortages in staffing, equipment, and other resources, which slows down or weakens its ability to produce timely, high-quality public health information.
The expected impact of the cooperative agreement is improved quality and timeliness of health data generated at the national level. By investing directly in the INS, CDC aims to help Mozambique strengthen the systems that produce evidence for policy and program decisions across health areas, including HIV/AIDS. Better surveillance and evaluation capacity can improve how trends are tracked, how outbreaks are detected and investigated, how laboratory results support clinical and public health action, and how programs are monitored for performance and outcomes. Because INS outputs are used not only by internal Ministry of Health units but also by organizations working in Mozambique's public health space, improvements at INS are meant to have a broad multiplier effect across the health sector.
Administratively, this opportunity was issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Center for Global Health (CDC-CGH), as a discretionary grant using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically means substantial involvement from CDC in guiding or collaborating on technical activities. The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA GH17-1723, tied to CFDA 93.067. The original closing date was October 18, 2016, and the award anticipated a single recipient (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an award ceiling of $6,500,000. The eligible applicant category is listed as "Others," and the named partner in the description is the Ministry of Health's National Institute of Health in Mozambique (MISAU-INS), reflecting that the funds are intended to directly support and strengthen this national institution rather than distribute support across multiple separate implementers.
In summary, the grant is focused on institutional strengthening of Mozambique's INS so it can better fulfill its national mandate in surveillance, laboratory support, outbreak response, and monitoring and evaluation. The underlying logic is straightforward: when the national public health institute has the workforce, infrastructure, and tools it needs, the country can generate better health intelligence faster, which improves planning, resource allocation, and response across HIV programs and the wider public health system.Apply for CDC RFA GH17 1723
