Opportunity Summary:
This CDC discretionary funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH11 1102), titled "Logistics And Technical Support For CDC Health Workforce And Systems Capacity Development In Multiple Countries," was offered as a cooperative agreement designed to strengthen applied public health capacity across multiple countries. The central aim was to improve disease surveillance and response systems at regional, national, and sub-national levels, with an emphasis on building long-term program sustainability rather than short-term surge support. Through this award, CDC intended to back activities that make it easier for countries to detect outbreaks earlier, investigate them more effectively, and respond in a coordinated way using trained personnel and functional surveillance systems.
A major focus of the announcement was support for national Field Epidemiology (and Laboratory) Training Programs (FE(L)TPs). The opportunity sought an organization capable of providing both logistical and technical assistance to these programs, helping them strengthen the epidemiology workforce and improve the underlying public health surveillance and response capabilities that trained field epidemiologists rely on. In practice, this kind of support typically includes operational coordination, training support, deployment logistics for field investigations, mentorship structures, and systems-level improvements that allow trainees and graduates to contribute meaningfully to real-world outbreak detection and control.
The cooperative agreement also highlighted partnership and coordination as core expectations. Applicants were expected to work with national, regional, and global partners, including CDC, to develop and implement applied epidemiology programs and related public health capacity-building efforts in participating countries. Because it is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, the structure implies substantial CDC involvement during project implementation, including collaboration on technical direction, alignment with CDC program goals, and coordination with broader international public health initiatives.
Funding for this opportunity was limited and highly specific: CDC anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. The award ceiling and floor were both set at $100,000, meaning the single award was intended to be exactly that amount. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The program was associated with CFDA number 93.283 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Investigations and Technical Assistance), situating it within CDCs broader portfolio of technical assistance and capacity development work.
Eligibility was broad and included a wide range of public, private, and nonprofit entities. Eligible applicants included nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), small businesses including small, minority, and women-owned businesses, universities and colleges (both public and private), research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, federally or state recognized American Indian/Alaska Native tribal governments and tribally designated organizations (including Alaska Native health corporations, urban Indian health organizations, and tribal epidemiology centers), and state, local, and territorial governments or their bona fide agents. The eligibility list also explicitly allowed non-U.S. (non-domestic) entities to apply, which aligns with the multi-country focus of the work. For applicants applying as a bona fide agent of a state or local government, the announcement required documentation in the form of a letter from the relevant government entity to confirm that status.
Key dates indicate this was a time-limited, archived opportunity from 2010. It was posted and created on March 18, 2010, with an original and final application deadline of June 1, 2010, and an archive date of June 2, 2010. The administering agency was the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and technical assistance for accessing the full announcement was routed through the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), via phone at 770-488-2700.
Overall, the opportunity targeted an implementer that could operate across countries and partners to strengthen field epidemiology training and the surveillance-and-response systems those trainees support, emphasizing practical applied epidemiology, operational readiness, and sustainable capacity improvements within national public health institutions.
