Opportunity Summary:
Addressing Emerging Infectious Diseases and Related Public Health Concerns in India (Funding Opportunity Number RFA GH 10 002) is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) discretionary funding opportunity that would support a single cooperative agreement with a Government of India institution housed within the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW). The overall aim is to deepen and continue formal public health cooperation between the United States and India in ways that strengthen India s government capacity to prevent, detect, and respond to emerging infectious diseases and closely related public health threats, while staying aligned with the national health priorities and policies of both countries.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the CDC in the program beyond routine grant monitoring. In practical terms, this structure is designed for joint planning and implementation, frequent technical engagement, and ongoing collaboration rather than a hands off funding relationship. The opportunity is positioned under the CDC program area for Investigations and Technical Assistance (CFDA 93.283), reflecting a focus on applied public health work such as surveillance improvement, outbreak response readiness, workforce development, and operational collaboration.
The opportunity emphasizes bilateral exchange and collaboration as core activities. It anticipates structured exchanges of ideas, information, skills, and techniques across scientific, technical, and health systems management domains. Example activities explicitly called out include exchanges of scientists and technical experts, convening joint seminars, workshops, and meetings, developing training programs, and conducting joint research projects. The description leaves room for other mutually agreed forms of scientific and technical cooperation, signaling flexibility to address evolving disease risks and public health needs as they emerge.
Eligibility is deliberately narrow: only government institutions within the MOHFW of the Republic of India may apply. The rationale given is that the program s key objective is strengthening capacity within the Indian government, so the funding is intended to build durable public sector systems, expertise, and institutional partnerships rather than supporting a broad field of external applicants. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, reducing barriers to participation for the eligible government entities.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of 5,000,000 with an award ceiling of 5,000,000 and an award floor of 0, and it expects to make one award. This framing suggests a single, relatively large cooperative effort rather than multiple smaller grants, consistent with a bilateral capacity building and coordination model that benefits from centralized management and unified implementation.
Key dates indicate the opportunity was posted March 15, 2010, with an original closing date of April 30, 2010 that was later extended to May 14, 2010, and an archive date of June 13, 2010. The administering agency is the CDC, and applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section.
Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as a government to government public health partnership investment. It aims to support India s MOHFW in working closely with CDC counterparts on shared infectious disease and public health concerns through expert exchanges, joint trainings and convenings, collaborative research and investigations, and health systems strengthening activities, all designed to reinforce national priorities and improve readiness for emerging and re emerging threats.
