Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH15 16270101SUPP19
Protecting and Improving Public Health Globally: Building and Strengthening Public Health Impact, Systems, Capacity, and Security is a CDC cooperative agreement grant opportunity designed to advance the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) by helping countries meet key targets for preventing, detecting, and responding to infectious disease threats. The core idea behind the program is to strengthen national public health capacity, largely through Ministries of Health, so countries are better prepared to manage outbreaks and other major health threats before they escalate into regional or global emergencies. A major emphasis of this supplemental round is supporting immediate response needs tied to the Ebola outbreak and other active infectious disease events, including Public Health Emergencies of International Concern (PHEICs), while also improving the systems and workforce capacity needed for longer-term health security.
This particular Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), CDC RFA GH15-16270101SUPP19 (CFDA 93.318), is not open to brand-new applicants. It is a supplemental funding opportunity limited to organizations that already hold an active award under the same NOFO. In practice, that means only current awardees can apply, and the requested funds must build on and expand existing, already-approved work rather than launching entirely unrelated projects. The expectation is that applicants will use the supplemental dollars to augment ongoing activities that align with current US Government GHSA priorities, avoid duplication with other CDC-funded GHSA efforts, and respond to emerging risks in a way that improves readiness and response capacity on the ground.
The program’s scope is broad but clearly oriented toward operational public health security. Activities are intended to help countries prevent outbreaks through stronger systems (such as surveillance, infection prevention and control, and laboratory networks), detect threats earlier (for example, improving reporting and diagnostic capabilities), and respond more effectively (including emergency operations functions and rapid response capacity). The description also explicitly highlights strengthening border security as part of mitigating the international spread of disease, reflecting GHSA’s focus on reducing cross-border transmission and improving the ability to manage health risks at points of entry.
Applicants are required to specify the country or countries where the additional funds would be used, and proposals can request expansion across strategies and activities already within the NOFO’s scope. At the same time, the CDC notes that special consideration will be given to proposals focused on certain countries and activities (not fully listed in the excerpt), which signals that the agency is steering resources toward priority geographies and interventions based on current outbreak dynamics, capacity gaps, and broader USG global health security strategy.
Funding details reflect a targeted supplemental round rather than a long-term new program launch. The maximum award amount listed is up to $2,000,000, with an anticipated total of about 6 awards. Because this is supplemental funding, the timeline is especially important: recipients must spend the funds before the end of their current budget period, meaning the work must be realistic, ready to implement quickly, and tied to existing operational plans and partnerships. The CDC also makes clear that final funding levels and the selection of technical areas are subject to change depending on CDC budget realities, shifting priorities, and evolving public health emergencies. Another notable feature is that projects may be funded out of rank order to align with USG GHSA priorities and to prevent redundant investments across different CDC funding mechanisms.
Administratively, the opportunity sits under the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, specifically within global health (CGH). The opportunity category is discretionary, the instrument type is a cooperative agreement (which typically involves substantial CDC involvement or partnership during implementation), and the closing date for electronic submission in the original announcement was June 5, 2019, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Overall, the grant is best understood as a fast-moving, strategically targeted supplemental investment meant to strengthen national and cross-border public health systems while helping current CDC partners address urgent outbreak response needs tied to Ebola and other high-consequence infectious disease threats.Apply for CDC RFA GH15 16270101SUPP19
