Impact of Japanese Encephalitis Vaccination in Cambodia | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Impact of Japanese Encephalitis Vaccination in Cambodia" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA CK 14 001) was a CDC-funded research effort designed to measure and clearly document what happens when a Japanese encephalitis (JE) vaccination program is introduced in Cambodia using the live attenuated SA 14 14 2 JE vaccine. The core idea behind the program was not only to support vaccine delivery, but to generate solid field evidence on vaccine impact in a setting where JE occurs more frequently. Because Cambodia has a relatively higher incidence of JE, the program was positioned as a chance to learn more about how the disease behaves locally (its epidemiology) while also showing, in practical terms, whether a vaccination campaign with this specific vaccine reduces illness and related public health burden.

The mechanism for funding was a cooperative agreement, meaning CDC expected to have substantial involvement beyond simply issuing funds, typically through collaboration on technical direction, monitoring, and evaluation activities. The activity category was health, and the funding fell under CFDA 93.084, described as "Prevention of Disease, Disability, and Death by Infectious Diseases." The opportunity anticipated a single award, which signals that the work was intended to be centralized rather than spread across multiple competing projects. The estimated total funding was $150,000, with an award ceiling of $150,000 and a floor of $20,000, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which would have reduced barriers for the eligible applicant.

Eligibility was narrow and focused. The primary eligible organization listed was the Ministry of Health in Cambodia (with a specific Phnom Penh address provided), reflecting that the program was aimed at supporting national-level public health implementation and evaluation in-country. While the eligible applicant was essentially the Cambodian Ministry of Health, the announcement also allowed the application to include collaborators or consultants from foreign institutions, as long as applicable U.S. federal laws and policies were followed. This setup suggests CDC expected local ownership and leadership of the work, with the option to bring in specialized expertise for study design, surveillance strengthening, laboratory support, or analysis.

Timing-wise, the opportunity was posted and created on July 29, 2013, with applications due by September 20, 2013 at 5:00 PM U.S. Eastern Time. The archive date was October 20, 2013, indicating it is no longer active. Only one award was expected, and the project scope implied a focused evaluation: documenting disease patterns and measuring the effects of a JE vaccination campaign using SA 14 14 2, which could include tracking changes in JE incidence, characterizing cases, and improving understanding of transmission and risk in Cambodia. The announcement emphasized that Cambodia's disease burden offered a meaningful environment to demonstrate measurable public health impact, which is often harder to do in lower-incidence settings.

For applicants or interested parties at the time, the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) was listed as the point of contact for issues accessing the full announcement, with a phone number provided (770 488 2700). The listing also noted that the detailed announcement materials were accessible via the "Full Announcement" reference on the source page, rather than through the included link text, which was explicitly labeled as not active.
