Opportunity Summary:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary funding opportunity called "Expanding the Overseas Health Assessment and Surveillance of U.S. Bound Refugees" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA CI09-902). The program is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning CDC planned to remain actively involved with recipients in carrying out the work rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal engagement. The overall goal is to expand and strengthen overseas health assessment and public health surveillance activities for refugee populations who are preparing to resettle in the United States, with a strong emphasis on preventing and controlling infectious diseases, including vaccine-preventable diseases.
This opportunity was designed around supporting specific partner organizations already positioned to work with refugee populations and health systems overseas. The eligible applicants listed were the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the Association of Medical Doctors of Asia (AMDA) based in Nepal, and the Committee for Coordination of Services to Displaced Persons in Thailand (CCSDPT). In other words, this was not an open competition for any organization that might be interested; it was targeted to these entities due to their on-the-ground roles in refugee settings and their capacity to implement health interventions and monitoring systems where refugees are screened and supported prior to travel.
Funding was expected to support three awards, aligned with the three intended grantees. The announcement indicated that approximately $1,000,000 would be available in fiscal year 2009 to fund these awards, and it listed an award ceiling of $1,000,000 with no stated minimum award floor. The source data also shows an estimated total funding amount of $5,000,000, suggesting the broader funding projection for the overall announcement period may have extended beyond a single fiscal year or reflected cumulative program expectations, even though the FY2009 amount highlighted in the description was about $1,000,000 for three awards. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so recipients were not expected to contribute their own funds as a condition of the award.
Programmatically, the work centered on improving the detection, tracking, and prevention of infectious diseases among U.S.-bound refugees before arrival in the United States. That includes strengthening health assessments conducted overseas, improving surveillance systems to identify disease trends and outbreaks, and reinforcing prevention measures such as immunization and other interventions that reduce the risk of transmission during transit and resettlement. By focusing on vaccine-preventable and other infectious diseases, the program aimed to protect individual refugees, reduce the chance of outbreaks in refugee communities and transit settings, and support public health preparedness in the United States by addressing key health risks earlier in the migration pathway.
Key administrative details include the activity category (Health) and the CFDA number 93.283 (CDC Investigations and Technical Assistance). The opportunity was posted on March 26, 2009, with an original closing date of May 25, 2009, later extended to May 26, 2009. Applications were due by 5:00 PM Eastern Time on the closing date. The estimated award date was stated as prior to August 31, 2009, and the announcement was archived on June 24, 2009. For applicants or stakeholders who had trouble accessing the full announcement, CDC provided a contact point through PGO TIMS at 770-488-2700, along with a general email contact, and directed readers to consult the full notice via Grants.gov for complete requirements and program details.
