Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funding opportunity CDC RFA GH11-11110 is a discretionary cooperative agreement intended to support a close, partner-driven collaboration with the Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) in the Kingdom of Thailand. The award is designed to strengthen Thailand's public health capacity at the national level by improving how the country detects, investigates, and responds to health threats, and by translating evidence into practical programs and policies. The opportunity was posted March 23, 2011, with an application closing date of June 17, 2011, and it was later archived on July 17, 2011. The estimated total funding listed is $5,000,000, with one expected award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is restricted: assistance is provided only to the Ministry of Public Health in Thailand, and no other applicants are solicited.
The programmatic focus is broad but anchored in core public health functions: surveillance, epidemiology, laboratory systems, and evidence-based intervention. A major emphasis is placed on infectious diseases, particularly HIV/AIDS, including key safety and quality areas such as blood safety, injection safety, infection control, and medical waste management. Beyond HIV/AIDS, the agreement supports work on malaria, tuberculosis, neglected tropical diseases, and emerging or re-emerging infections. It also explicitly includes influenza and other diseases with pandemic potential, reflecting the need for stronger preparedness and response capacity for large-scale outbreaks. In addition to infectious disease priorities, the scope extends to environmental health issues, chronic diseases, maternal and child health, reproductive health, injury control and prevention, public health preparedness, and biosafety. In practical terms, the cooperative agreement is meant to help Thailand improve national surveillance and epidemiologic assessments related to disease burden, premature death, and quality of life, while also upgrading diagnostic capability and laboratory quality systems so that surveillance findings can be confirmed and acted upon quickly and reliably.
A second major component is workforce development and training. The agreement calls for training opportunities for a wide range of public health professionals and implementers, including laboratory personnel, Ministry of Public Health and sanitation staff, and selected university and graduate-level students, as well as others involved in delivering programs. The training topics are meant to cover the full lifecycle of public health practice: health assessment and epidemiology, evidence-based program planning and implementation, program evaluation, and practical skills in data collection and analysis. It also highlights management competencies that are often essential for sustaining health programs, including personnel management and financial and administrative management, suggesting the grant is not only about technical disease control but also about strengthening the systems that allow programs to operate effectively over time.
Another central goal is institutional strengthening of the Ministry of Public Health itself, specifically improving its ability to plan, implement, and evaluate evidence-based programs and to conduct surveillance and epidemiologic analyses that support both national and regional disease prevention and control. This signals an expectation that the work funded under the agreement should improve Thailand's internal capacity to generate and use timely, high-quality information for decision-making, and to coordinate with regional partners when threats cross borders. Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, it also implies substantial involvement by CDC in supporting, guiding, and collaborating on the work rather than operating as a hands-off funder.
Finally, the opportunity stresses that evaluation results should not remain academic exercises but should be incorporated back into operational disease prevention and control programs. It places value on sharing lessons learned and expertise not only within Thailand but also regionally and internationally, reinforcing the idea that successful approaches should be documented, communicated, and adapted for broader use. The end goal is to turn program experience and evaluation evidence into science-based health policies and guidelines, helping ensure that public health actions are grounded in data and that improvements are sustained through formal policies and standardized practices.
Key administrative details include the Funding Opportunity Number (CDC RFA GH11-11110), CFDA 93.283 (CDC Investigations and Technical Assistance), an expected single award, and an estimated total funding amount of $5,000,000. Award ceiling and floor are both listed as 0, which typically indicates that the precise award amount is determined through the agreement process rather than constrained by a fixed posted range.
