Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Pakistan FELTP-Human/Animal Disease Investigation and Technical Assistance to the Pakistan Ministry of Health and Ministry of Agriculture, Center for Global Health," is a CDC continuation cooperative agreement focused on strengthening Pakistan's capacity to investigate and respond to diseases that affect both humans and animals. The emphasis is on practical field epidemiology and laboratory training-style support (commonly associated with Field Epidemiology and Laboratory Training Programs, or FELTPs) and on providing direct technical assistance to Pakistan's Ministry of Health and Ministry of Agriculture. By framing the work as "human/animal disease investigation," the opportunity clearly aligns with a One Health approach, where outbreaks and surveillance are addressed across sectors rather than treating human and animal health as separate lanes.
Administratively, the award was issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS-CDC), under the Center for Global Health, and it sits within the health funding activity category. The opportunity number is CDC RFA GH15 162002CONT16, and it uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically means CDC expects to have substantial involvement in guiding the work, collaborating on implementation, and ensuring the project stays aligned with public health priorities and technical standards. It is explicitly listed as continuation funding, signaling that it is meant to extend or build on an existing project rather than start an entirely new, open competition.
Key dates show it was created and posted on February 3, 2016, with an original and current closing date of May 4, 2016. The listing indicates an expectation of one award, which is consistent with continuation awards that support a specific ongoing partner or mechanism. The award ceiling is shown as 0, which often appears in listings when the final funding level is determined through continuation negotiations, available appropriations, or an internal budgeting process rather than being announced as a fixed maximum in the public notice.
Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with a note to consult the additional eligibility information in the full announcement. That phrasing commonly indicates the applicant pool is limited or specialized, sometimes tied to an existing recipient or a narrow group of organizations with a particular relationship to the program. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number associated with this opportunity is 93.283, which corresponds to CDC programs supporting epidemiology and laboratory capacity building and related public health activities.
In practical terms, the opportunity is about sustaining and enhancing Pakistan's ability to detect, investigate, and respond to outbreaks and other public health threats, while also improving coordination between the human health and animal health sectors. The expected outputs would typically include strengthened field investigation skills, better surveillance and data use, improved outbreak response practices, and ongoing technical support to the two ministries, all delivered in close collaboration with CDC under the cooperative agreement structure.
