Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Polio Eradication and Emergency Response in Priority Countries" is a continuation funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, specifically the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Center for Global Health (CGH), Global Immunization Division. It sits within the CDCs global health and immunization work and is focused on maintaining and advancing progress toward polio eradication while also strengthening the capacity to respond quickly to polio-related emergencies in countries considered high priority for polio risk, transmission, or outbreak potential.
This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the work beyond simply providing funds. In practice, cooperative agreements usually involve close technical collaboration, joint planning, coordinated monitoring, and ongoing engagement between the awardee and CDC staff. The emphasis on both eradication and emergency response suggests supported activities would not only target routine polio program operations but also include readiness and rapid response functions, such as detection of cases, investigation, vaccination response campaigns, and coordination with national and international partners involved in polio eradication efforts.
The funding opportunity is labeled as a continuation (Opportunity Category: Continuation), indicating it is meant to extend or continue existing work rather than launch an entirely new, open competition for first-time projects. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 93.185, which identifies the federal assistance program under which the funding is administered. The expected number of awards is listed as 10, implying CDC anticipated supporting multiple organizations or country-focused implementing partners under this continuation action.
Eligibility is not broadly defined in the summary and is listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)." That phrasing usually means eligibility is limited or specialized, often tied to prior awardees, specific types of organizations, or entities meeting particular criteria spelled out in the full announcement. In continuation announcements, eligibility is frequently restricted to current recipients or partners already funded under a prior cycle, although the exact rule would be in the detailed eligibility section of the full notice.
Key administrative details include the Funding Opportunity Number "CDC RFA GH16-172102CONT17," which identifies the specific CDC request for applications and the continuation action. The posting or creation date is August 5, 2016, and the original closing date is October 5, 2016. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which commonly signals that a maximum award amount was not specified in the public summary, could vary by recipient, or is determined based on available appropriations and approved continuation budgets rather than a fixed cap.
Overall, the opportunity reflects CDCs role in supporting and coordinating global polio eradication efforts through targeted assistance in priority countries, pairing ongoing eradication programming with the ability to mount emergency responses when outbreaks or urgent risks arise, and doing so through a collaborative funding mechanism designed for close CDC involvement and technical partnership.
