This grant opportunity, titled "Accountable and Coordinated HIV/AIDS Services by Regional Health Management Teams in the United Republic of Tanzania under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," is a U.S. government funding action administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It sits within the health funding area and is linked to CFDA number 93.067, which is associated with global HIV/AIDS programming under PEPFAR. The purpose signaled by the title is to strengthen how HIV/AIDS services are planned, coordinated, and held accountable at the regional level in Tanzania, specifically through Regional Health Management Teams. In practical terms, that generally points to supporting regional health authorities to organize HIV service delivery more effectively, align partners and facilities to common goals, improve oversight and performance monitoring, and ensure that services are delivered consistently and transparently across districts and health facilities.

A key detail is that this is not an open, competitive opportunity for new applicants. The opportunity category is listed as "Continuation," and the description makes it explicit that the award is a continuation of funds intended only for organizations that were previously funded under an earlier CDC announcement: CDC-RFA-GH11-1126, which carried the same program focus and title. In other words, the funding is designed to extend or continue an existing cooperative agreement relationship rather than start a new one. That also explains why typical competitive elements (like a broad eligibility pool or a stated number of anticipated awards open to the public) are not emphasized here. Although the eligibility field is labeled "Others," the narrative clarifies that, operationally, eligibility is restricted to current or prior awardees under the referenced earlier funding announcement.

The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which matters because it usually involves substantial involvement from the CDC compared with a standard grant. Under cooperative agreements, CDC program staff typically play an active role in technical direction, performance monitoring, and coordination, which fits well with a program centered on accountability, regional coordination, and strengthening management systems. While the listing does not provide specific work plan components, the scope implied by the title commonly includes improving regional-level planning and governance for HIV programs, coordinating implementing partners, strengthening data use for decision-making, tracking service coverage and quality, and supporting systems that help ensure HIV prevention, care, and treatment services are delivered in a coordinated way consistent with national strategies and PEPFAR priorities.

Several administrative details help frame the opportunity. The Funding Opportunity Number is CDC RFA GH11 112605CONT16, indicating it is a continuation action tied to the original GH11-1126 award line, and "CONT16" suggests a continuation increment for a particular budget period in that series. The original closing date is listed as 2015-11-24, and the opportunity record was created on 2015-09-24. The award ceiling is shown as 0, which often appears in continuation or internal-only listings where a public maximum award amount is not posted in the synopsis, not necessarily that no funds will be provided. The expected awards field is blank, which is also consistent with a continuation notice where the action may apply to a defined set of existing recipients rather than a new cohort of awardees.

Taken together, the listing describes a CDC/PEPFAR continuation cooperative agreement supporting regional health management structures in Tanzania to maintain and build on an established effort to make HIV/AIDS services more accountable and better coordinated. The main takeaway for potential applicants is that it is limited to previously funded grantees under the earlier CDC-RFA-GH11-1126 announcement, and it functions as an extension of ongoing work rather than a new solicitation open to new organizations.
