Epidemiology and Strategic Information in the Republic of Zimbabwe | CDC RFA GH11 114805CONT16

Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH11 114805CONT16

The grant opportunity titled "Epidemiology and Strategic Information in the Republic of Zimbabwe" is a continuation funding notice issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It is designed specifically to extend support for existing work already funded under an earlier CDC announcement, CDC-RFA-GH11-1148, rather than to launch a new competitive round open to a wide pool of applicants. In practical terms, this kind of notice signals that the CDC intends to keep an ongoing program operating without interruption, maintaining the same general scope and objectives that were established in the original award.

This opportunity is listed as a Continuation under the Opportunity Category, and the funding mechanism is a Cooperative Agreement. A cooperative agreement typically means the CDC expects to have substantial programmatic involvement in the project beyond standard grant oversight. That involvement can include collaboration on technical approaches, alignment with CDC program priorities, participation in planning or evaluation, and close coordination on reporting and performance monitoring. The Funding Activity Category is Health, and the associated CFDA number is 93.067, which is commonly tied to global HIV/AIDS-related public health activities administered by CDC, including surveillance, strategic information systems, and related epidemiologic support functions.

The stated purpose is focused on "epidemiology and strategic information" in Zimbabwe. While the continuation notice itself is brief, the phrasing generally refers to activities like strengthening disease surveillance and monitoring systems, improving data quality and use, supporting epidemiologic analyses to guide program decisions, and ensuring that health programs are driven by timely and accurate information. In a setting like Zimbabwe, strategic information efforts often include building capacity for routine data collection and management, supporting population-based or sentinel surveillance activities where appropriate, improving reporting pipelines, and using epidemiologic findings to target interventions, allocate resources, and measure outcomes over time. The underlying intent is to ensure decision-makers have the evidence needed to understand disease burden, track trends, and evaluate the impact of public health programs.

Eligibility is effectively restricted. Although the listing shows Eligible Applicants as "Others," the description makes it clear that this continuation is intended only for organizations that were previously awarded under the original funding opportunity CDC-RFA-GH11-1148. That means new applicants who were not part of the earlier award should not expect to be eligible for funding through this particular notice. Continuation awards are commonly used to support the next budget period of an existing multi-year project, assuming the grantee remains in good standing and continues to meet performance and reporting requirements.

The opportunity number is CDC RFA GH11 114805CONT16, and the record shows a creation date of 2015-09-30 with an original closing date of 2015-11-30. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which often indicates that a public maximum amount is not being stated in the posting, or that the financial details are handled through continuation processes tied to the existing award rather than through a standard open competition with a published cap. The listing does not specify the number of expected awards, which fits with the continuation nature of the announcement since the recipients are typically already known based on prior funding.

Overall, this grant notice is best understood as an administrative and programmatic step to continue CDC-supported epidemiology and strategic information work in Zimbabwe under an established cooperative agreement framework. It prioritizes continuity of operations, sustained collaboration with CDC, and ongoing delivery of data-driven public health support, rather than seeking new proposals from the broader public.
