Opportunity Summary:
The CDC funding opportunity CDC RFA GH10-1004 is a discretionary cooperative agreement designed to formalize and support a broad partnership with the Kenya Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation (KMOPHS) to strengthen Kenya's ability to prevent, detect, and respond to major health threats. The agreement is framed as an umbrella effort covering national public health surveillance, epidemiology, laboratory strengthening, and implementation of evidence-based programs across a wide range of priority conditions. While it includes many disease areas, it places a notable emphasis on infectious diseases, particularly HIV/AIDS, alongside malaria, tuberculosis, neglected tropical diseases, emerging and re-emerging infections, influenza, and other threats with pandemic potential. It also explicitly extends beyond infectious disease into environmental health, chronic diseases, maternal and child health, reproductive health, injury prevention, biosafety, and public health preparedness.
A central focus of the award is building and improving national-level public health surveillance and epidemiologic assessment. In practice, this means strengthening systems that track disease patterns and risk factors, investigating outbreaks and unusual health events, and using high-quality data to understand what is driving illness, premature death, and reduced quality of life. The opportunity also highlights the importance of improving laboratory systems and diagnostic capacity, recognizing that reliable testing and lab networks are essential for confirming cases, guiding treatment and prevention strategies, and ensuring timely detection of outbreaks and emerging threats.
Another major goal is to expand and institutionalize training and workforce development. The cooperative agreement calls for creating training opportunities for public health professionals, including laboratorians, KMOPHS staff, and selected university or graduate-level students, as well as other program implementers. The training topics are intentionally comprehensive: health assessment and epidemiology, evidence-based program planning, program implementation and evaluation, data collection and analysis, and the administrative functions that keep programs running, such as personnel, financial, and broader management skills. The underlying idea is that technical capacity and managerial capacity need to grow together so that surveillance, laboratories, and interventions can be sustained and scaled.
The opportunity also emphasizes strengthening KMOPHS as an institution, not just funding individual projects. It aims to increase the Ministry's ability to plan, implement, and evaluate evidence-based public health programs; to conduct surveillance; and to carry out epidemiologic analyses that support both national and regional disease prevention and control. In other words, the award is structured to help KMOPHS lead large, coordinated public health efforts across Kenya while also contributing to regional health security goals.
Finally, the cooperative agreement stresses the use of evaluation results to improve real-world operations and policy. It calls for integrating findings from program evaluations into ongoing disease prevention and control work, sharing lessons learned and technical expertise within Kenya and with regional and international partners, and translating evidence into science-based health policies and guidelines. This highlights a continuous improvement model: implement programs, measure what works, adjust operations based on evidence, and then formalize successful approaches through policy and guidance.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $8,000,000. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the CDC in collaboration, technical direction, and joint planning rather than a standard grant with minimal federal engagement. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 93.283 (CDC Investigations and Technical Assistance). The announcement was posted March 4, 2010, originally due May 4, 2010, with a revised closing date of June 9, 2010, and an archive date of July 9, 2010.
Eligibility was restricted to KMOPHS only, and the announcement explicitly stated that no other applications were solicited. The justification for limiting eligibility was that KMOPHS holds the legal authority and primary governmental responsibility for national public health action in Kenya, and it has the infrastructure and long-standing collaborative relationships with national and international partners, including the CDC. The CDC also positioned KMOPHS as the key governmental partner for executing its global health strategy through the Center for Global Health, with the expectation that this collaboration would produce measurable reductions in disease, disability, and premature death in Kenya.
