Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Emerging Infectious Disease Detection in the Veterinary Public Health Sector in India" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA GH 14 004) is a discretionary public health funding announcement from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It was designed to strengthen India s ability to identify the causes (etiologies) of emerging infectious diseases within the veterinary public health system, with a particular emphasis on diseases that can spread from animals to humans. The core idea is that better veterinary laboratory detection and stronger epidemiology capacity can help spot dangerous outbreaks earlier and reduce the risk of zoonotic transmission into human populations.
The program focuses on building and upgrading capacity across India s laboratory network at the central, state, and district levels. The CDC s stated intent is to improve diagnostic capability, strengthen biosafety practices, enhance quality testing systems, and increase awareness and recognition of new and emerging animal diseases in India. By investing in these areas, the FOA aims to ensure veterinary public health laboratories and epidemiologists can more reliably detect, confirm, and respond to pathogens of public health concern. In practical terms, this kind of support typically translates into improvements such as updated testing workflows, better specimen handling and containment procedures, quality assurance and quality control systems, and stronger coordination between labs and surveillance teams so that unusual events are identified and escalated quickly.
The funding instrument for this opportunity is a Cooperative Agreement, meaning CDC expected to be substantially involved in the project beyond simply issuing a grant. Cooperative agreements generally involve ongoing technical collaboration, joint planning, and regular performance monitoring, which fits the goal of systematically improving laboratory and surveillance functions rather than supporting a one time purchase or a standalone research study. The funding activity category is Health, and the relevant CFDA listing provided is 93.283, which corresponds to CDC investigations and technical assistance.
Financially, the FOA anticipated a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1), with an estimated total funding amount of 2,000,000 dollars for the opportunity overall. The award ceiling is listed as 500,000 dollars, with no award floor specified (0), and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The posting timeline indicates the opportunity was posted on February 4, 2014, created on February 18, 2014, and closed on March 28, 2014, with an archive date of April 27, 2014.
Eligibility for this opportunity was highly restricted. The Indian Veterinary Research Institute (IVRI), Izatnagar, Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, India, was identified as the sole eligible applicant and the only organization permitted to apply. The FOA explicitly states that even under the category of foreign organizations, IVRI remained the only eligible entity, and as a foreign organization it would be subject to applicable CDC policies for foreign recipients. This structure suggests the program was intended as a targeted capacity building investment routed through a central national institution with the reach and technical standing to influence laboratory practices and surveillance linkages across multiple tiers of the public veterinary health system.
For applicants or stakeholders needing assistance accessing the full announcement at the time, CDC provided a point of contact through the CDC Procurement and Grants Office, Technical Information Management Office (TIMS), with a listed phone number of 770 488 2700.
