Opportunity Summary:
The Ebola Containment and Prevention Equipment Grant (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH15 1633) was a CDC discretionary grant opportunity designed to support Guinea's Ministry of Health with the practical tools and capacity needed to stop Ebola transmission and keep it from returning. The core purpose was twofold: first, to supply essential equipment that would directly strengthen Guinea MOH operations for Ebola containment and prevention, and second, to reinforce longer-term public health infrastructure so the country could reliably monitor conditions and confirm that Ebola transmission remained at zero over time. In other words, it was not only a response-oriented equipment award, but also an effort to help sustain surveillance and readiness so that gains made during outbreak control would not fade once emergency conditions eased.
This opportunity was issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under the health funding activity area aligned with the CFDA program 93.318, described as Protecting and Improving Health Globally and building/strengthening public health impact, systems, capacity, and security. The announcement anticipated a single award, reflecting that it was tailored to a specific national response partner rather than a broad competitive pool. Consistent with that intent, eligibility was limited to the Guinea Ministry of Health, listed explicitly in the eligibility information, even though the general applicant category was labeled "Others" with reference to additional eligibility text.
The estimated total funding amount for the opportunity was $5,000,000. The notice did not specify an award ceiling or floor (both listed as 0), which typically indicates that the precise award amount and structure would be set through the award process rather than constrained by preset minimums or maximums in the public synopsis. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was not expected to provide a mandatory financial match as a condition of receiving the grant.
In terms of timeline, the FOA was posted and created on May 27, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 27, 2015, and it was archived on July 27, 2015. The short open period matches the emergency nature of Ebola response funding, where speed and operational readiness are often prioritized to move resources quickly to the field.
