Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a CDC Center for Global Health (CGH) cooperative agreement intended to support broad public health work in the Republic of Georgia through the National Center for Disease Control and Public Health (NCDC). The purpose is framed around advancing health promotion and disease prevention objectives tied to Healthy People 2020, while also emphasizing performance measurement and accountability consistent with the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA). In practical terms, the CDC is positioning this agreement as part of its global health strategy to reduce infectious disease threats and strengthen public health capacity in ways that also support U.S. health security through global health promotion, health protection, and health diplomacy.
The program scope aligns with multiple Healthy People 2020 priority areas and is meant to cover a wide range of public health domains rather than a single disease program. The listed focus areas include food safety, health communication, HIV, immunization and other infectious diseases, maternal/infant/child health, public health infrastructure, respiratory diseases, and sexually transmitted diseases. This suggests the cooperative agreement is designed to reinforce systems and capabilities that cut across topics (for example, surveillance, laboratory capacity, outbreak response, and public communication), while still supporting targeted interventions in high-priority disease areas.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH12 1259, categorized as a discretionary award using the cooperative agreement mechanism. A cooperative agreement typically indicates substantial federal involvement compared with a standard grant, meaning CDC is likely to collaborate closely with the recipient on planning, implementation, technical direction, and performance monitoring. The funding activity category is health, with an estimated total funding amount of $5,000,000 and an expected number of awards of one. The CFDA listing provided is 93.283 (CDC Investigations and Technical Assistance). No cost sharing or matching is required. The announcement was posted on April 11, 2012, with an application closing date of June 15, 2012, and an archive date of July 15, 2012. Award floor and ceiling values are listed as zero, which generally indicates the specific budget range is not being constrained in that field, not that the award is unfunded.
Eligibility is intentionally restricted. Assistance is available only to the Cooperative Agreement with the National Center for Disease Control and Public Health (NCDC) of Georgia, and no other applications are solicited. The justification given is that NCDC is considered uniquely qualified within Georgia because it is the only organization described as having the necessary legal authority, technical expertise, and infrastructure capacity, and it holds the primary governmental responsibility for addressing public health issues nationally. Because the activities are characterized as broad, comprehensive, and long-term public health program work, CDC states these combined attributes make NCDC the only eligible entity in Georgia for this award.
For access or administrative questions, the contact point listed is the CDC Procurements and Grants Office (PGO), reachable by phone at 770-488-2700 or by email at pgotim@cdc.gov. The announcement also points readers to background resources on Healthy People 2020 and GPRA-related performance management at www.health.gov/healthypeople and the referenced White House OMB GPRA page.
