Improving Response to and Programming in Humanitarian Emergencies | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Improving Response to and Programming in Humanitarian Emergencies" is a continuation funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS-CDC). It is issued under Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH15 162302CONT16 and is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work rather than acting only as a passive funder. The focus area is health, and it is associated with CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 93.269.

At a high level, the opportunity is meant to support ongoing efforts that strengthen how public health partners plan for, respond to, and deliver effective programming during humanitarian emergencies. While the public listing provides only a brief description, the title and CDC’s typical scope in this space point to work that improves emergency health operations and the quality of health interventions in crisis settings, such as outbreaks, displacement, natural disasters, and complex emergencies. Projects under a continuation announcement usually build on an existing program or previously awarded work, emphasizing sustainment, refinement, scaling, and performance improvement rather than launching a brand-new initiative from scratch.

The opportunity category is explicitly marked as "Continuation," which is important for interpreting who it is for and how it functions. Continuation announcements are commonly used to extend or modify support for an existing cooperative agreement project period, assuming the recipient has met requirements and the program remains aligned with agency priorities. In practice, this often means eligibility may be limited or specialized, which is also hinted at in the eligibility line that lists "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)." In other words, the pool of eligible applicants may not be broad public applicants; it may be restricted to current recipients, specific partner organizations, or entities that meet particular criteria outlined in the full notice.

Key administrative details in the listing include an original and current closing date of May 2, 2016, with the announcement created and posted on February 26, 2016. The award ceiling is shown as 0, which typically indicates that a specific maximum amount was not stated in the public summary record or that the ceiling depends on factors defined in the full announcement, such as available appropriations, continuation-year budgets, or negotiated work plans. The expected number of awards is not provided in the summary data, which again is common for continuation actions where the number of funded entities may already be determined by existing awards.

In summary, this is a CDC continuation cooperative agreement in the health category aimed at improving the effectiveness and responsiveness of public health programming in humanitarian emergencies. The short public abstract suggests a broad objective of strengthening emergency response and program implementation, while the continuation status and specialized eligibility language suggest it is intended primarily for certain qualified or existing partners rather than open competition for entirely new applicants.
