Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Addressing Emerging Infectious Diseases and the International Health Regulations," is a CDC-issued cooperative agreement designed to support the World Health Organization (WHO) in helping countries and regional authorities prevent, detect, and respond to emerging infectious diseases and other serious public health threats. The core aim is to strengthen global health security by improving how governments identify outbreaks early, share information appropriately, and mount effective public health responses, especially for events that could rise to the level of a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.
The program is explicitly tied to implementation of the International Health Regulations (IHR), revised in 2005. The IHR serve as an internationally agreed framework that guides countries in building and maintaining the capacities needed to manage acute public health risks that can cross borders. In practical terms, this opportunity supports WHO's role in assisting national governments to meet IHR expectations around surveillance, reporting, verification, risk assessment, and response coordination. The focus is not limited to any single disease; it is meant to improve readiness for a broad range of infectious threats and other hazards with international implications.
The types of activities described are wide-ranging and centered on building durable public health capacity. Key examples include strengthening epidemiologic capacity by improving surveillance systems, monitoring approaches, and outbreak response capability. It also includes building or reinforcing foundational public health infrastructure, which can involve workforce development, preparedness planning, and operational systems that allow rapid mobilization during emergencies. Laboratory practice is another major emphasis, reflecting the importance of reliable diagnostics and quality systems to confirm cases, characterize pathogens, and guide control measures. Improvements to public health information systems are also highlighted, including better data collection, analysis, sharing, and use for decision-making. In addition, the opportunity supports the development, implementation, and evaluation of evidence-based prevention and control strategies, with an emphasis on approaches that can be measured and improved over time. Finally, it calls out improved prevention and control for public health emergencies of international concern, signaling support for preparedness and response functions that operate across national and regional lines.
Structurally, this is a discretionary CDC opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically means substantial involvement by the funder in working with the recipient on program direction, coordination, and technical collaboration. Only one award was expected under this announcement, and eligibility was narrowly defined: the eligible applicant listed is the World Health Organization. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity number is CDC-RFA-CK14-1402, and it falls under CFDA 93.099 (noted as collaboration with WHO and its regional offices for global health security and the International Health Regulations). The estimated total funding amount was $60,000,000. The notice was posted March 4, 2014, with an original closing date of May 5, 2014, and a current closing date listed as May 19, 2014. The application deadline specified was May 5, 2014 at 11:59 pm Eastern Standard Time via Grants.gov, and no letter of intent was required. The opportunity was later archived June 4, 2014. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) was listed as the contact point, with a phone number of 770-488-2700.
Overall, the grant centers on enabling WHO to work with countries and regions to build the everyday systems that prevent outbreaks from becoming crises, and to ensure that when high-consequence events occur, responses align with IHR standards for timely detection, transparent communication, and coordinated action to reduce international spread while protecting public health.
