Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Conducting Public Health Research in Thailand: technical collaboration with the Ministry of Public Health in the Kingdom of Thailand (MOPH)," is a U.S. government cooperative agreement administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under HHS. It is designed to support a single major partner in carrying out public health research in Thailand in close technical collaboration with Thailand's Ministry of Public Health. Because it is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, CDC involvement is expected to be substantial, meaning the awardee would likely work in an ongoing, coordinated way with CDC and Thai public health counterparts on planning, implementation, and oversight of the research activities.
The core purpose of the award is to conduct epidemiologic, clinical, field, and laboratory research on important human infectious diseases that are relevant to Thailand and to broader regional and global health security. The announcement places strong emphasis on HIV/AIDS and malaria, while also prioritizing emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases and zoonotic diseases, which are infections that can spread between animals and humans. It also explicitly includes neglected tropical diseases, tuberculosis, and influenza, along with other diseases that have pandemic potential. In practice, this scope suggests work that can range from surveillance and outbreak investigations to clinical studies, laboratory characterization of pathogens, and field-based research that improves understanding of transmission, risk factors, and effective prevention and control measures.
In addition to infectious disease priorities, the opportunity leaves room for research in other public health domains when they are relevant to the Thailand context and the partnership mission. These additional areas include environmental health issues, chronic diseases, birth defects and developmental disabilities, maternal and child health, public health preparedness, biosafety, and injury control and prevention. Taken together, this indicates the program is not limited to one disease program but is meant to support a broad, collaborative public health research platform that can respond to evolving national and regional needs, including preparedness and safe laboratory and field practices.
Administratively, the opportunity number is RFA GH 16 003, categorized as discretionary funding, with the funding instrument listed as a cooperative agreement. It falls under the health activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.326. The agency listed is HHS-CDC (HHSCDCERA). The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $7,000,000, and the CDC anticipated making one award, indicating a single, relatively large award intended to support a comprehensive set of activities rather than multiple smaller projects. The original and current closing date were both March 1, 2016, and the opportunity was created and posted on December 9, 2015.
Eligibility is broadly indicated as "Others," with the notice pointing applicants to additional eligibility details elsewhere in the full announcement. In typical CDC cooperative agreement language, that phrasing often signals that the eligible applicant pool may include specific types of organizations or entities that meet defined criteria, potentially including institutions with an established presence, technical capacity, and the ability to collaborate effectively with the Thai Ministry of Public Health and CDC on complex, multi-component research programs.
Overall, this announcement describes a high-value, single-award cooperative agreement aimed at strengthening and advancing public health research capacity and outputs in Thailand through coordinated work with the Ministry of Public Health, with major emphasis on high-burden and high-threat infectious diseases and the flexibility to address related public health priorities such as preparedness, biosafety, and selected noncommunicable and environmental health topics.
