Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary funding opportunity announcement titled "Conducting Public Health Research in Kenya (U01)" under Funding Opportunity Number RFA GH 10 003. This award uses a cooperative agreement mechanism (U01), which typically means CDC expects to have substantial involvement with the recipient in planning, conducting, and using the results of the work, rather than simply providing funds with minimal engagement. The activity category is Health, and the associated CFDA number is 93.283 (CDC Investigations and Technical Assistance).
The announcement set aside an estimated total of $20,250,000 in fiscal year 2010 to support a single award, with the award floor and ceiling both listed as $20,250,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The posting date and creation date were February 10, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 15, 2010, and an archive date of April 16, 2010. In practical terms, this was a one-time, single-recipient opportunity with a fixed funding level and a defined application window.
The purpose of the opportunity is to support a broad portfolio of public health research in Kenya, specifically emphasizing both field-based and laboratory-based studies on significant human health threats. While infectious diseases are central, the scope is intentionally wide. Priority infectious disease areas named in the announcement include HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, influenza (including strains with pandemic potential), emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, and neglected tropical diseases. In addition, the FOA explicitly includes non-infectious and cross-cutting public health topics such as environmental health issues, chronic diseases, maternal and child health, public health preparedness, biosafety, and injury control and prevention. The overall idea is not just to generate scientific findings, but to produce evidence that can be translated into real-world public health action.
A key expectation in the description is that research results should be incorporated into operational health promotion, disease prevention, and disease control programs in Kenya. That indicates an applied, implementation-oriented focus: studies are meant to inform how programs are designed, targeted, and improved, rather than remaining purely academic outputs. The announcement also highlights the importance of sharing expertise and research findings beyond Kenya, including dissemination to other nations as well as to non-governmental organizations and academic institutions. This signals an intent to strengthen regional and global public health knowledge, build collaboration networks, and ensure that lessons learned in Kenya can support broader public health practice.
Eligibility is restricted: the only eligible applicant is the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI), and the notice states that no other applications are solicited. In other words, it is a limited competition (effectively a directed award) intended to fund one specific institution to carry out this work, likely reflecting KEMRI's role as a national research body and established partner for conducting large-scale public health research in Kenya.
For applicants or stakeholders needing the full announcement but experiencing access issues, the contact point provided is CDC’s Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), reachable by email at pgotim@cdc.gov or by phone at 770-488-2700.
