Opportunity Summary:
Assessments And Surveys For Public Health Action In Post Earthquake Haiti (Funding Opportunity Number RFA GH 11 007) was a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) discretionary grant opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement in the health category. It was created and posted on March 21, 2011, with an application deadline of May 23, 2011, and it was archived on May 24, 2011. The announcement anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. The CFDA program referenced is 93.283, CDC Investigations and Technical Assistance.
The main purpose of the award was to strengthen and further develop Haiti's National Public Health Laboratory (NPHL) and to formally position it as the lead laboratory actor supporting post-earthquake response and the cholera response. The emphasis was on providing essential technical assistance so Haiti could implement surveillance surveys and related assessment activities that generate reliable public health data for decision making. In practical terms, the opportunity focused on building the laboratory and surveillance capacity needed to detect, monitor, and respond to cholera and other urgent, outbreak-prone diseases that could emerge during the project period, especially in the challenging conditions following the earthquake.
A key feature of the announcement is that it was explicitly framed as a temporary, emergency-oriented award. The CDC described it as a bridge mechanism intended to address immediate cholera and other emergency disease threats while the agency developed a separate, competitive funding opportunity announcement and identified a longer-term partner for sustained work. That framing signals that the cooperative agreement was designed to move quickly, support urgent response needs, and reinforce national leadership and coordination through the NPHL, rather than to establish a broad, multi-year open competition at that time.
Eligibility was highly restricted. Applications were limited to the National Public Health Laboratory within Haiti's Ministry of Public Health, the Ministre de la Sante Publique et de la Population (MSPP). No other applicants were invited or solicited, which means the award was effectively a directed, single-recipient opportunity focused on strengthening the government's national laboratory capacity rather than funding multiple external organizations.
For access and administrative questions, the notice directed applicants to the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), with a phone contact provided (770-488-2700). The listing also noted that the "Additional Information" link was not active and instructed users to consult the Full Announcement text for complete details.
