Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA GH 21 001
This funding opportunity, titled "Conducting Public Health Research in Thailand: Technical collaboration with the Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) in the Kingdom of Thailand," is a CDC cooperative agreement designed to support a major public health research partnership in Thailand. Issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it focuses on generating practical, high-quality evidence to improve disease prevention, detection, and response capacity in close coordination with Thailand's Ministry of Public Health. Because it is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, the project is expected to involve substantial involvement and ongoing technical collaboration with CDC, alongside strong integration with Thai public health priorities and systems.
The core purpose is to conduct epidemiologic, clinical, field, and laboratory research on significant human infectious diseases, with particular emphasis on conditions of major burden or global health security concern. Priority infectious disease areas include HIV/AIDS and malaria, as well as emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases that can escalate quickly or cross borders. The opportunity explicitly includes zoonotic diseases (infections that spread between animals and humans), neglected tropical diseases, tuberculosis, influenza, and coronaviruses, along with other pathogens that have pandemic potential. A notable element is the inclusion of research focused on mobile and vulnerable populations, signaling an interest in understanding transmission dynamics, access barriers, and effective interventions for groups that are often undercounted or underserved and may be at heightened risk during outbreaks.
In addition to infectious diseases, the announcement broadens the scope to several other public health domains that affect population health and preparedness. This includes environmental health issues, chronic diseases, birth defects and developmental disabilities, maternal and child health, and injury control and prevention. It also highlights public health preparedness and biosafety, reflecting an interest not only in studying diseases but also in strengthening the systems, practices, and safeguards needed to prevent laboratory and field risks, improve outbreak readiness, and support safe, reliable public health operations. Overall, the scope suggests an integrated portfolio approach where research activities can inform policy, surveillance, diagnostics, intervention strategies, and preparedness planning.
Administratively, the opportunity is listed as discretionary funding under CDC's health activity category (CFDA 93.326) and was posted on November 10, 2020, with an application deadline of February 15, 2021, and an electronic submission cutoff of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The anticipated funding level has an award ceiling of $7,000,000, and the CDC expected to make a single award, which typically implies a centralized, flagship partnership or coordinating entity capable of managing a wide-ranging research agenda and sustaining close collaboration with both CDC and Thailand's MOPH. Eligibility is noted as "Others," with additional clarification referenced in the full eligibility text, indicating that applicants likely needed to meet specific criteria described in the complete announcement.Apply for RFA GH 21 001
