Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Agreement with the Egypt Ministry of Health and Population for Global Disease Detection Activities (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH13-1369) was a discretionary health-focused funding opportunity issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). It was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning CDC anticipated having substantial involvement alongside the recipient in planning, implementing, and monitoring the work, rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal engagement. The program sits within CDCs Center for Global Health (CGH) and is framed around strengthening global disease detection work in Egypt, reflecting CDCs broader mission to reduce the risk of infectious disease threats that can affect the United States and other countries through international travel and cross-border spread.
This opportunity explicitly ties its purpose to national U.S. public health planning and accountability frameworks, including Healthy People 2020 and the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA). In practical terms, that signals two things: first, the activities were intended to support major priority areas such as Global Health and Public Health Infrastructure; second, the program expected measurable results and performance reporting consistent with federal requirements. The CDC describes the work as contributing to health promotion, health protection, and health diplomacy, emphasizing that international capacity to detect and respond to outbreaks is part of protecting Americans from infectious diseases.
Funding details indicate an estimated total of $4,000,000 for the announcement, with an expectation of one award. The listing includes CFDA number 93.283 (CDC Investigations and Technical Assistance). No cost sharing or matching requirement was identified, so the recipient would not be required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The original posting date and creation date were March 14, 2013, and the application closing date was May 16, 2013, with the record later archived on June 15, 2013.
Eligibility was highly restricted. Assistance was available only to the Egypt Ministry of Health and Population (MOH), and no other applications were solicited. The announcement justifies this limitation by noting that the MOH is the only entity in Egypt with the legal authority and primary responsibility within the Egyptian government to address public health issues at government entities and to implement the activities envisioned under the agreement. It also cites the MOHs longstanding collaboration with CDC on multiple public health projects as further rationale that the MOH was uniquely qualified to carry out the work. As a result, the opportunity functioned as a targeted cooperative arrangement with a single, designated governmental partner rather than an open competitive grant program.
For applicants needing technical help accessing the full announcement at the time, the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Information Technology Management Section (TIMS) was listed as the point of contact, with a phone number (770-488-2700) and email (pgotim@cdc.gov).
