Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH15 162103CONT17
The grant opportunity titled "Global Health Security Partnership Engagement: Expanding Efforts and Strategies to Protect and Improve Public Health Globally" is a continuation funding announcement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically through its Center for Global Health (CGH). It is not an open competition for new applicants. Instead, it is designed to provide continued support to organizations that were previously funded under the earlier CDC funding announcement CDC-RFA-GH15-1621, which carried the same program title and focus. In practical terms, this means the funding is restricted to existing grantees to maintain momentum in ongoing global health security work rather than launching new, standalone projects with new partners.
The mechanism for this opportunity is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a more active partnership between the CDC and the recipient than a standard grant. Under cooperative agreements, the funder often has substantial involvement in shaping, guiding, or collaborating on program activities, technical approaches, monitoring, and coordination. The purpose implied by the title and program framing is to strengthen global health security through engagement and partnership-based strategies that help protect and improve public health internationally, often involving work such as preparedness, surveillance, workforce development, emergency response capacity, and cross-border coordination. While the provided text does not list specific technical program requirements, the intent is clearly aligned with broad global health security goals: building and sustaining systems that can prevent, detect, and respond to public health threats.
Eligibility is narrowly limited. The announcement specifies that continuation funds are intended only for previously awarded grantees, and it identifies which organizations are in which project year at the time of the notice. The third-year (Year 03) applicants named are Emory University, International Medical Corps, Research Triangle Park, and Stellenbosch University. Georgetown University is identified as being in its second year (Year 02). The inclusion of these names signals that these entities are the expected applicants for continuation and that the funding is structured to carry their existing work forward, likely based on progress to date and approved continuation applications rather than proposals competing against a broader pool.
The administrative details show that applications were to be submitted through Grants.gov, with a submission date referenced as November 29, 2016, while the source data also lists an original closing date of April 7, 2017. This kind of mismatch can happen in federal postings when timelines are updated, extended, or reflected differently across summary fields, but the narrative portion emphasizes the November 29, 2016 submission instruction. The opportunity is labeled as a continuation category and carries the funding opportunity number CDC RFA GH15 162103CONT17. The CFDA number listed is 93.318, and the awarding agency is identified as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - CGH.
Some of the fields in the source data are notably sparse. For example, the award ceiling is listed as 0 and expected awards is left blank, which usually indicates that the posting is not providing a public, standardized maximum award amount in the summary record, or that the continuation amounts depend on previously established budgets, availability of funds, recipient performance, and CDC approvals. This fits the nature of continuation funding, where award size and the number of awards are generally predetermined by the existing portfolio of funded recipients rather than calculated through a new competitive selection process.
Overall, this opportunity functions as an official vehicle for the CDC to renew and extend support for specific, named partners already engaged in global health security partnership work under an earlier award. The emphasis is on sustaining ongoing efforts and strategies that contribute to protecting and improving public health globally, with recipients submitting continuation applications through the standard federal grants portal as part of their multi-year cooperative agreement progression.Apply for CDC RFA GH15 162103CONT17
