Surveillance and Response to Avian and Pandemic Influenza by National Health Authorities outside the United States | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

This funding opportunity, titled "Surveillance and Response to Avian and Pandemic Influenza by National Health Authorities outside the United States," is a continuation cooperative agreement issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS-CDC). It is listed under CDC RFA IP13-130604CONT16 and falls within the health funding activity category (CFDA 93.283). The notice was created and posted on February 18, 2016, with an application closing date of April 22, 2016.

At a high level, the opportunity supports ongoing work led by national health authorities located outside the United States to strengthen surveillance and response capacity for avian influenza strains with pandemic potential, as well as preparedness and response for pandemic influenza more broadly. The framing of the title and the involvement of CDC indicate an emphasis on public health systems that can detect influenza threats early, investigate cases and clusters quickly, monitor trends over time, and coordinate a timely response to reduce illness and prevent international spread. Because this is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, CDC would typically expect substantial programmatic involvement, meaning recipients generally implement activities in close collaboration with CDC technical staff, align reporting and performance expectations with CDC priorities, and participate in ongoing coordination.

The opportunity category is "Continuation," which typically signals that this is not a brand-new open competition intended for first-time applicants, but rather an extension or renewal of an existing project period or previously funded work. In practical terms, continuation announcements are often designed to allow existing recipients to maintain or expand program activities that have already been initiated, rather than to launch entirely new initiatives. That aligns with the program area, where surveillance systems, laboratory networks, workforce training, and emergency response mechanisms usually take multiple years to build and are maintained through sustained support.

Eligibility is described as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which indicates eligibility is restricted or defined more specifically in the full announcement materials beyond the short listing. Based on the title, the intended recipients are national health authorities outside the United States, which in many contexts means ministries of health, national public health institutes, or other officially designated government public health entities. The listing itself does not provide the full eligibility language, but it clearly targets non-U.S. national-level public health organizations rather than U.S. domestic applicants.

Several administrative details in the listing are worth noting. The "Award Ceiling" is shown as 0, and the "Expected Awards" field is blank, which usually means the public synopsis does not disclose a maximum award amount or the planned number of awards in this abbreviated record. That does not necessarily mean there is no funding; it more often reflects that the specific ceiling, budget range, or number of continuation awards is defined elsewhere (for example, in the full funding opportunity announcement or in continuation guidance to existing recipients). Likewise, while the synopsis provides the program name and basic classification, it does not include budget period length, project period duration, reporting requirements, or a detailed list of required activities.

In summary, this CDC cooperative agreement continuation opportunity is intended to sustain and strengthen influenza surveillance and response capabilities managed by national public health authorities outside the United States, with a focus on avian influenza threats and pandemic influenza preparedness. It is a CDC-led, collaborative funding mechanism (CFDA 93.283) posted in February 2016 and due in April 2016, with key financial and award volume details not specified in the short synopsis but typically addressed in the full announcement and continuation documentation.
