About this opportunity
This notice of funding opportunity announces a cooperative agreement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to strengthen Mozambique's capacity to integrate and sustain high-quality laboratory services and systems under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. Eligible applicants include government organizations, non-profits, and other ministries of health seeking to support Mozambique in achieving comprehensive viral load and early infant diagnosis testing coverage, strengthening tuberculosis and opportunistic infection diagnostics, expanding quality assurance programs, and enhancing governance of integrated laboratory networks. Applicants must describe their evaluation approach, organizational experience, and five-year work plan to integrate strategies for workforce development, quality management, and data systems. Applications are due on February 21, 2024.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention expects to award approximately $7 million total for one to two recipients over a five-year period of performance. Funding will support capacity building initiatives throughout Mozambique's laboratory systems to improve diagnosis and monitoring of HIV, tuberculosis, and other diseases.
Synopsis
The Award Ceiling for Year 1 is 0 (none). CDC anticipates an Approximate Total Fiscal Year Funding amount of $7,000,000 for Year 1, subject to the availability of funds.High-quality laboratory systems and services are essential for accurate diagnosis, treatment, and management of HIV and opportunistic infections (OI) amongst people living with HIV (PLHIV). Mozambique has made tremendous progress toward building technical capacity and optimizing the laboratory network to provide timely access to early infant diagnosis (EID) and viral load (VL) testing services for all eligible clients. VL coverage has rapidly increased from 67% in 2018, to 83% in 2022, contributing to improved patient monitoring and outcomes for PLHIV. This NOFO plans to build upon current accomplishments and support government institutions in Mozambique to strengthen and sustain laboratory systems and services towards achieving the UNAIDS 95-95-95 goals.The NOFO aims to attain comprehensive coverage for both VL and EID testing, facilitate the expansion of HIV testing for enhanced case detection, strengthen the diagnosis of TB and other OI, enhance the governance of laboratory systems, build technical, scientific, and managerial capabilities, and implement robust laboratory data and quality management systems (QMS). This approach encompasses comprehensive quality assurance (QA) and continuous quality improvement (QI) programs essential for HIV rapid test site certification and laboratory accreditation. This NOFO seeks to strengthen integration of laboratory systems and services to support multi-disease testing and improve responsiveness to emerging public health threats.
