Establishment of Centers of Excellence in Refugee Health | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Establishment of Centers of Excellence in Refugee Health" is a continuation funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS-CDC), specifically within NCEZID and the Division of Global Migration and Quarantine (DGMQ). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work, such as providing technical direction, collaborating on implementation details, and coordinating activities to ensure the project aligns with federal public health priorities. The overall focus area is health, and the opportunity is tied to CFDA number 93.283, a CDC assistance listing that historically relates to public health preparedness and response activities, including work that can intersect with population movement and related health needs.

The purpose implied by the title is to support the establishment or continuation of specialized Centers of Excellence focused on refugee health. In practical terms, "Centers of Excellence" typically refers to organizations or consortia with demonstrated expertise that can serve as regional or national hubs for best practices, training, technical assistance, and applied public health work. In the refugee health context, this often includes strengthening systems that address health screening, communicable disease detection and management, immunization practices, clinical and public health linkages, and the broader needs of newly arrived refugee populations. Because this is administered through DGMQ, the effort is likely oriented toward the intersection of migration and health, including coordination with domestic health departments and partners involved in refugee resettlement and post-arrival health services.

Administratively, the announcement is identified as Funding Opportunity Number "CDC RFA CK12 120505CONT16" and is categorized as a continuation opportunity rather than a brand-new open competition. That typically signals that the funding is intended for existing awardees or a limited pool of previously supported entities, although the eligibility section is summarized only as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)." Without the full eligibility text, the safest interpretation is that eligibility may be restricted or specialized, potentially including non-traditional applicants such as nonprofit organizations, academic institutions, or other entities with specific qualifications relevant to refugee health programming and CDC collaboration.

The timeline information shows that it was created and posted on May 25, 2016, with an original and current closing date of June 24, 2016, indicating a relatively short application window of about one month. The expected number of awards is 10, suggesting CDC anticipated supporting multiple Centers of Excellence rather than concentrating resources into one or two large awards. The listing shows an award ceiling of 0, which commonly appears when the ceiling is not specified in the summary record, varies by applicant, is determined through negotiation, or is otherwise provided in the full announcement rather than the high-level synopsis.

In short, this opportunity is a CDC cooperative agreement continuation aimed at supporting a network of roughly ten Centers of Excellence dedicated to refugee health, housed under CDC's migration and quarantine program area. The likely intent is to maintain and strengthen expert capacity to support public health practice, coordination, and technical leadership on issues affecting refugee populations in the United States, with CDC playing an active collaborative role in the work.
