Continuation of Funding Opportunity Announcement Implementing an Electronic Monitoring and Reporting System in the Republic of Rwanda under the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) | CDC RFA GH15 156902CONT16

Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH15 156902CONT16

This funding opportunity is a continuation notice from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) to support work in the Republic of Rwanda focused on implementing an electronic monitoring and reporting system. The goal of the activity, as reflected in the title and description, is to sustain and continue an existing effort to strengthen how health and HIV program data are captured, monitored, and reported through an electronic system, rather than launching a brand-new initiative.

The announcement is specifically structured as continuation funding, meaning it is intended only for organizations that were previously funded under the original funding opportunity (CDC-RFA-GH15-1569). In practice, this type of notice signals that CDC plans to extend or continue financial support for an ongoing project that has already been awarded, with the expectation that the existing grantee will keep implementing and maintaining the electronic monitoring and reporting work already underway. Because it is continuation-only, the competition is not broadly open; it is restricted to prior awardees of the referenced earlier announcement.

The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by CDC in the funded project compared with a standard grant. While the summary text does not spell out specific responsibilities, cooperative agreements commonly involve CDC collaboration on technical direction, monitoring, and program oversight, particularly for complex health information system and public health surveillance activities.

From the posted metadata, the opportunity falls under the Health funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.067 (a CDC global HIV/AIDS program assistance catalog listing). The opportunity number is CDC RFA GH15 156902CONT16, and CDC is listed as the issuing agency. The original closing date shown is December 9, 2015, and the posting (creation) date is October 9, 2015, reflecting when this continuation notice was entered into the system.

In terms of scale and anticipated awards, CDC expects to make one award. The listed award ceiling is shown as 0, which generally indicates that an upper funding limit is not specified in the public listing or is handled through internal continuation processes rather than a competed ceiling amount. Eligible applicants are labeled as "Others," but the description makes clear that eligibility is effectively limited to the previously funded grantee(s) under the earlier CDC-RFA-GH15-1569 announcement. Overall, this notice functions as an administrative and programmatic continuation to keep an established Rwanda electronic monitoring and reporting system effort moving forward under PEPFAR, rather than an open solicitation for new applicants.
