Uganda CDC-RFA-JG-25-0047 Questions and Answers.pdf

This is a Questions and Answers document for CDC-RFA-JG-25-0047, a NOFO focused on strengthening public health systems and workforce in Uganda. The document addresses two key questions: it clarifies that the indirect cost threshold for subawards is $50,000 (updated at the end of 2024), and confirms that the opportunity is open to all types of organizations, including startups, medical clinics, and small community-based organizations.

The associated NOFO is a cooperative agreement with anticipated Year 1 funding of $20 million, administered by the Department of Health and Human Services under the Global AIDS (PEPFAR) program. The project aims to strengthen Uganda's Ministry of Health's data systems for faster, integrated data collection and high-quality information for decision-making. It includes capacity building for epidemic intelligence through population surveys, clinical surveillance, and behavioral studies, though research is explicitly excluded. The opportunity is unrestricted, accepting applications from various entities including governments, nonprofits, educational institutions, and businesses.
