Opportunity Summary:
This CDC funding opportunity (RFA GH 13 005), titled "Monitoring and Evaluation of Malaria Control and Elimination Activities," is a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on strengthening how malaria programs generate and use evidence. The core goal is to support operational research, surveillance, and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) activities carried out in close collaboration with national malaria control programs and other partners. The geographic emphasis is on two high-priority regions: the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) in Southeast Asia and countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Rather than funding routine service delivery alone, the announcement is designed to back practical, field-oriented work that can answer real program questions, improve decision-making, and ultimately reduce malaria illness and deaths while improving population health.
The program is housed within CDC's Malaria Branch and is framed around producing high-impact findings, tools, or strategies that malaria programs can apply at scale. Projects are expected to be innovative and strongly tied to program needs, such as identifying what is working, what is not, and why, and then translating those insights into better implementation. By emphasizing operational research and evaluation, the opportunity targets the gap between intervention availability and real-world performance, including how interventions are deployed, monitored, and adapted over time. The CDC also positions this work within the broader global malaria architecture through its partnership with the Roll Back Malaria (RBM) initiative, highlighting alignment with international efforts to coordinate malaria scale-up, surveillance, and evaluation in endemic settings.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expects substantial involvement beyond simply issuing funds. In practice, that often implies close technical collaboration, shared planning, and coordination to ensure that research and M&E activities meet public health standards and are useful to national and global malaria stakeholders. The total estimated funding for the announcement is USD 5,000,000, with an anticipated 10 awards. The stated award ceiling is USD 1,000,000, and there is no specified award floor. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, lowering the barrier to participation for organizations that may not have large unrestricted resources.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of organizational types. Eligible applicants include nonprofits that are not institutions of higher education, for-profit organizations (including small businesses and other for-profit entities), institutions of higher education (public/state-controlled and private), faith-based and community-based organizations, regional organizations, Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments), and federally funded research and development centers (FFRDCs). Importantly, foreign organizations are explicitly eligible to apply, and foreign components of U.S. organizations are also eligible, which fits the program's focus on malaria-endemic regions outside the United States. The announcement also allows applications from bona fide agents applying on behalf of state or local governments, provided they submit a legally binding agreement documenting that status.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted on December 18, 2012, created on February 4, 2013, and originally closed on February 8, 2013, but the closing date was amended to March 18, 2013. The archive date is April 17, 2013, indicating it is no longer an active solicitation but remains relevant as a reference for the CDC's approach and priorities in malaria surveillance and evaluation funding. The CFDA listing is 93.283 under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, described as "Investigations and Technical Assistance," which reinforces that the program is about applied public health investigation and technical partnership rather than standalone academic research.
