Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number RFA GH 15 006) is a CDC cooperative agreement designed to strengthen malaria-focused public health work through an institutional research collaboration involving the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The core aim is to build and support practical, field-oriented efforts in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia that improve how malaria programs generate evidence and use it to make decisions. Rather than focusing only on laboratory or basic science questions, the emphasis is on operational research, surveillance, and monitoring and evaluation (M and E) activities that can directly inform malaria control and elimination strategies in real program settings.
The CDC Malaria Branch is looking to fund innovative research projects and evaluation activities that can produce high-impact public health findings. In practical terms, this means work that can identify what interventions are working, where gaps remain, how programs can be improved, and how malaria trends are changing over time. The expected end result is evidence and strategies that reduce the overall malaria burden and improve population health and well-being. The opportunity is aligned with global coordination efforts, since CDCs Malaria Branch participates in the Roll Back Malaria (RBM) initiative, which supports malaria program scale-up, stronger surveillance, and better evaluation in malaria-endemic countries.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement from the funding agency during the project period (for example, collaboration on technical approaches, evaluation design, or data use), as opposed to a more hands-off grant. The activity category is Health, and the CFDA listing is 93.326, described as protecting and improving health globally through surveillance, epidemiologic research, and disease-related activities. The announcement anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1), indicating this was structured as a concentrated partnership rather than multiple independent awards.
Financially, the announcement listed an estimated total funding amount of $5,000,000, with an award ceiling of $1,000,000 and no stated award floor (AwardFloor: 0). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the need for applicants to bring non-federal funds to meet a match. The posting date was February 20, 2015, with a closing date of March 23, 2015, and the opportunity was later archived on April 22, 2015.
Eligibility included foreign organizations, defined as public or private entities (nonprofit or for-profit) located outside the United States and its territories and subject to the laws of the country where they are located, regardless of the citizenship of project staff or where the work takes place. This eligibility framing supports the international scope of malaria work in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia and reflects the intent to support collaboration in regions where malaria is endemic.
For applicants or organizations needing help obtaining the full announcement, the CDC provided a point of contact through its Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) within the Procurement and Grants Office, including a phone number (770-488-2700) and email (PGOTIM@cdc.gov), with availability during standard weekday business hours in U.S. Eastern Time.
