Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Protecting and Improving Public Health Globally: Building and Strengthening Public Health Impact, Systems, Capacity and Security" 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 GH15-162702CONT16 and is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the work beyond simply providing funds. The overall focus is global public health, with an emphasis on improving real-world public health impact while also strengthening the systems, workforce capacity, and health security capabilities needed to prevent, detect, and respond to health threats.
The opportunity is categorized under health as the primary funding activity area, and it is associated with CFDA number 93.318. The listing indicates up to 50 expected awards, signaling a relatively broad portfolio that may support multiple ongoing projects or partner efforts under this continuation mechanism. The award ceiling is shown as 0, which usually means a fixed ceiling amount was not specified in the summary record and that the actual award sizes may depend on the continuation terms, available appropriations, previously negotiated budgets, or project-specific scopes of work tied to existing cooperative agreements.
Eligibility is listed as "Others," with additional clarification referenced in an external eligibility text field. In practical terms, this kind of eligibility label often points to a limited pool tied to continuation awards, such as current recipients or organizations already funded under a prior related announcement, rather than an open competition for brand-new applicants. Because it is explicitly marked as a continuation opportunity, it generally implies funding is intended to extend or expand existing workstreams that are already aligned with CDC global health priorities, potentially including strengthening public health institutions, surveillance and laboratory systems, emergency preparedness and response, workforce development, and other capabilities that support global health security.
Key administrative dates in the record show it was created and posted on February 17, 2016, with both the original and current closing dates set to May 1, 2016. That suggests the application window was fixed and did not change. Overall, this opportunity is best understood as CDC’s mechanism to sustain and reinforce ongoing global public health initiatives that aim to build stronger systems and capacities so countries and partners can better manage routine health needs and respond effectively to emerging threats.
