Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Strengthening South Africa's Laboratory and Epidemiology Capacity to Detect and Respond to Zoonotic Disease Outbreaks," is a continuation cooperative agreement issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS-CDC), through the Center for Global Health. The focus is on improving South Africa's ability to identify, confirm, and respond to outbreaks of zoonotic diseases, meaning infections that can spread between animals and humans. In practical terms, the opportunity centers on reinforcing the systems and technical capabilities that allow public health and laboratory networks to detect emerging threats early, verify them accurately through diagnostic testing, and mount a coordinated epidemiologic response to limit spread and impact.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the work, such as providing technical guidance, collaborating on implementation approaches, and supporting performance monitoring. The listing is explicitly marked as a continuation (Opportunity Category: Continuation), suggesting it supports the next phase or extension of an existing project rather than launching a brand-new competition. The opportunity is associated with the health funding activity category and is tied to CFDA number 93.318, a CDC global health assistance program area.
Only one award was expected (Expected Awards: 1), which is consistent with a continuation action where an existing partner or implementing organization is being funded to continue ongoing activities. The eligibility category is listed as "Others," with the note to consult additional eligibility language in the full announcement, which commonly means eligibility may be limited or specifically defined (for example, to certain organizations, current recipients, or entities meeting particular criteria). The award ceiling is listed as 0 in the provided data, which generally indicates the ceiling was not specified in the summary record or was handled through continuation funding details rather than a fixed published cap.
Key administrative details show that the opportunity was created and posted on February 9, 2016, with both the original and current closing date listed as May 1, 2016. The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA GH15-162202CONT16, which signals a CDC Request for Applications (RFA) under a global health (GH) identifier and further reinforces that it is a continuation award. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as CDC support to sustain and strengthen laboratory diagnostic and epidemiologic surveillance and response capacity in South Africa, with the aim of improving readiness for zoonotic disease outbreaks through better detection, investigation, and coordinated public health action.
