Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Strengthening Applied Epidemiology and Sustainable International Public Health Capacity through the Field Epidemiology Training Programs, Center for Global Health," is a continuation cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS-CDC). It sits within the health funding activity category and is tied to CFDA number 93.318. The focus is on reinforcing applied epidemiology skills and building sustainable public health capacity internationally through Field Epidemiology Training Programs (FETPs), which are widely used models for developing a trained public health workforce capable of detecting, investigating, and responding to health threats.
The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH15-161902CONT16 and is explicitly labeled as "Continuation," meaning it is intended to support ongoing work rather than launch a brand-new program start. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the CDC during the period of performance. In practical terms, this structure is often used when the agency expects to collaborate closely with the recipient on technical direction, program implementation, monitoring, and alignment with broader public health priorities.
The posting and creation dates are both February 9, 2016, and the application closing date is May 1, 2016 (with no difference between the original and current closing dates listed). The opportunity anticipates a single award ("ExpectedAwards: 1"), suggesting funding is intended for one recipient organization to continue or manage a specific set of activities under this program line. The listed award ceiling is shown as 0, which usually means the ceiling is either not specified in the summary record, depends on available appropriations, is detailed elsewhere in the full announcement, or is otherwise not captured in the excerpted data.
Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with additional clarification referenced in an "Additional Information on Eligibility" text field (not included in the provided source). That phrasing commonly signals that eligibility may be limited to a particular type of organization, an incumbent recipient under the continuation, or entities meeting specific criteria outlined in the full notice.
Overall, the opportunity is centered on strengthening applied epidemiology and long-term international public health capacity through FETPs under the CDC Center for Global Health. While the summary data does not list specific required activities, FETP-oriented cooperative agreements generally support workforce development and practical, field-based epidemiology training that improves a country or region's ability to prevent, detect, and respond to outbreaks and other public health threats, while also aiming to make those capabilities sustainable over time through institutional strengthening and ongoing mentorship and support.
