Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA 617 17 000004
The "Defeat TB" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA 617 17 000004) is a USAID/Uganda funding solicitation designed to strengthen tuberculosis (TB) control in Uganda by increasing the number of TB cases that are found and officially reported (case notification) and by improving the outcomes of people who start TB treatment. The core intent is not only to support direct TB interventions, but also to tackle the health system obstacles that prevent services from working well at scale, recognizing that long-term TB progress depends on stronger service delivery systems rather than isolated, short-term activities. In practical terms, the opportunity centers on helping Uganda make measurable progress toward ending the TB epidemic through better detection, better linkage to treatment, and better treatment success, while also improving the supporting systems that make those results sustainable.
This opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award and would be implemented under a cooperative agreement, which typically means the program would be carried out by the recipient with substantial involvement from USAID during implementation. That structure often reflects a need for close collaboration on technical direction, coordination with national priorities, adaptive management as conditions change, and alignment with other donor and government activities. The funding activity category is Health, and it is associated with CFDA number 98.001, which is commonly used for USAID foreign assistance awards. The awarding agency is the U.S. Agency for International Development, Uganda Mission (USAID-Kampala), indicating the work is expected to be tightly aligned with Uganda-specific TB strategies and the operational realities of the country’s health sector.
The scope, as described, emphasizes two main TB performance goals: improving TB case notification and improving TB treatment outcomes. Improving case notification generally implies efforts to reduce missed TB cases and diagnostic delays, expand access to quality TB screening and diagnostic services, strengthen referral systems, and ensure that detected cases are properly recorded and reported through national reporting systems. Improving treatment outcomes typically points to supporting patient-centered care approaches that increase treatment completion and cure, reduce loss to follow-up, and improve adherence support, while ensuring that clinical management is consistent with national and international standards. Because the description highlights addressing "underlying health system barriers," the program is also expected to focus on foundational issues that limit TB service delivery, such as weaknesses in health facility workflows, supply chain reliability for TB commodities, laboratory systems and specimen transport, health workforce capacity, data quality and use, supervision and quality improvement, and coordination between community and facility-based services.
The award’s ceiling is listed at $20,000,000, and USAID anticipated making one award, suggesting a single lead implementer would likely coordinate a broad, multi-component TB effort rather than splitting the work among multiple separate awards. Eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement text. The opportunity was posted on February 28, 2017, and had an original closing date of April 11, 2017, placing it within a defined application window typical of USAID competitive solicitations.
Overall, "Defeat TB" is positioned as a substantial, mission-led investment aimed at accelerating Uganda’s TB response by simultaneously improving frontline TB results (finding more cases and achieving better treatment success) and strengthening the health system functions that determine whether TB services are accessible, high-quality, and sustainable over time.Apply for RFA 617 17 000004
