Opportunity Summary:
The Ebola Containment and Prevention Equipment Grant is a continuation funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS-CDC), specifically under the CDC's Division of Global Health Protection. It is issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the work beyond simply providing funds, such as technical guidance, coordination support, and close monitoring of progress. The activity category is listed as Health, and it is associated with CFDA number 93.318, which is used to track and classify federal assistance programs.
This opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH15 163302CONT16 and is categorized as continuation funding, indicating it is intended to extend or continue an existing project rather than launch a brand-new initiative open to a wide pool of first-time applicants. The focus, as reflected in the title and brief description, centers on equipment needs tied to Ebola containment and prevention. In practical terms, this kind of grant would generally relate to strengthening readiness and response capacity for Ebola by supporting the procurement, distribution, or sustainment of specialized containment and infection prevention equipment, though the provided notice does not include detailed programmatic requirements, specific activities, or performance measures.
Eligibility is not broadly defined in the summary and is instead listed as "Others," with a note directing interested parties to a separate eligibility clarification field in the full announcement. This usually signals that only certain organizations, jurisdictions, or existing recipients are eligible, which aligns with the continuation nature of the award. The CDC expected to make one award under this announcement, suggesting the funding is targeted and likely meant for a specific ongoing partnership or recipient rather than multiple competing awards.
The opportunity was created and posted on February 9, 2016, with an original and current closing date of March 15, 2016, meaning the application window was just over a month. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which generally indicates that the ceiling amount was either not specified in this summary extract, determined through another mechanism, or dependent on factors described in the full funding announcement. Overall, this is a narrowly scoped, continuation cooperative agreement from CDC Global Health Protection aimed at supporting Ebola containment and prevention equipment needs, with a single anticipated award and eligibility details that require consulting the full announcement text.
