Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Establishing a Center for Public Health Training in Complex Humanitarian Emergencies" (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA GH13-137002CONT14) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continuation funding announcement designed to support an ongoing effort to maintain and further develop a specialized training center focused on public health practice in complex humanitarian emergencies. In practical terms, the opportunity is meant to keep an existing CDC-supported center operating, rather than launching a brand-new program. The activity aligns with the CDCs broader work in global health and emergency response, particularly where conflict, displacement, disasters, and other crisis conditions create severe and rapidly changing public health needs.
This award uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, which typically indicates a more hands-on partnership structure where the CDC is expected to have substantial involvement in the funded activities compared to a standard grant. The activity category is Health, and it is linked to CFDA 93.269, "Complex Humanitarian Emergency and War Related Injury Public Health Activities." The announcement anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1), reinforcing that this is continuation support intended for one established recipient rather than a competitive, open field of applicants. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is the most defining feature of this opportunity. It is explicitly restricted to continuation funding for grantees previously awarded under the earlier funding opportunity GH13-1370, which is also titled "Establishing a Center for Public Health Training in Complex Humanitarian Emergencies." Although the Eligible Applicants field is labeled broadly as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the eligibility clarification makes it clear that this is not an open competition; only the prior awardee(s) from the referenced original announcement are intended to receive these continuation funds. As a result, organizations that were not already funded under GH13-1370 would not be considered eligible under this continuation notice.
Key dates provide the timeline for the continuation application or administrative processing. The opportunity was posted and created on February 28, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 21, 2014, and an archive date of May 21, 2014. The estimated total funding amount is listed as 0, which can appear in continuation postings when the specific continuation dollar amount is handled through internal budgeting, incremental funding actions, or referenced elsewhere in the full announcement rather than summarized in the public listing. Despite that placeholder figure, the intent is clearly to continue funding for the existing center rather than to indicate that no funds are available.
The overall purpose, as conveyed by the title and description, is to sustain a center that trains public health professionals to operate effectively in complex humanitarian emergencies. These settings often involve overlapping challenges such as damaged health systems, population displacement, heightened risk of communicable disease outbreaks, limited safe water and sanitation, food insecurity, and elevated injury and trauma burdens related to conflict or instability. A training center supported under this opportunity would generally be expected to strengthen the capacity of responders and practitioners through structured learning, applied skill-building, and dissemination of best practices relevant to emergency public health operations. Because the mechanism is a cooperative agreement, the CDC would likely collaborate closely on priorities, technical direction, and coordination to ensure the training aligns with evolving emergency response needs and evidence-based approaches.
For applicants or stakeholders needing help accessing the full announcement, the contact is the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO). The listing provides a phone number (770-488-2700) and an email address (pgotim@cdc.gov) for assistance with electronic access issues.
