Provide Technical Assistance to GEMA Preparedness Application Ready.Georgia | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

This opportunity is a continuation cooperative agreement issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS-CDC), focused on providing technical assistance to the Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA) for its preparedness initiative known as Application Ready.Georgia. The funding opportunity title and description are essentially the same, signaling a very targeted effort: supporting GEMA preparedness work by delivering specialized assistance rather than launching a broad, open-ended grant competition for new projects. The opportunity sits within the public health domain (Funding Activity Category: Health) and is tied to CFDA number 93.070, which is associated with CDC programs that support public health preparedness and related emergency readiness capabilities.

The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expects to be actively involved in the work beyond simply providing funds. In practical terms, cooperative agreements often involve substantial federal programmatic engagement such as advising on technical approaches, aligning deliverables to federal preparedness frameworks, helping ensure consistency with national guidance, and monitoring progress through ongoing coordination. The listing labels the opportunity as “Continuation,” indicating it is intended to extend or continue an existing body of work, rather than initiate a brand-new project. Continuation opportunities are commonly used to maintain momentum, preserve institutional knowledge, and keep critical preparedness activities moving without interruption.

Eligibility is listed as “Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification),” which indicates eligibility may be limited, specialized, or otherwise defined in a portion of the full announcement not included in the provided excerpt. This often happens when the agency is continuing a relationship with a specific recipient or a narrow set of entities that already have a role in the ongoing project. Without the missing eligibility clarification text, the safest interpretation is that this is not a wide-open solicitation for all organizations, but rather a continuation action with constrained eligibility tied to the existing cooperative agreement and the specific technical assistance needs of GEMA’s preparedness program.

Key administrative details show the opportunity was created and posted on March 22, 2016, with an original and current closing date of April 29, 2016, meaning there was no extension and applicants were expected to submit by that deadline. The listing shows an Award Ceiling of 0, which usually signals that a maximum funding amount is not specified in the summary field or that funding levels are handled through continuation budget determinations rather than a stated cap in the synopsis. The “Expected Awards” field is blank in the excerpt, which can happen in continuation postings where the number of awards is predetermined or effectively limited (often to a single continuation recipient) and not emphasized in the public synopsis.

Overall, the opportunity is best understood as CDC supporting Georgia’s emergency preparedness efforts by ensuring GEMA has access to technical expertise and guidance to keep Application Ready.Georgia implementation on track. Because it is a continuation cooperative agreement in the health preparedness space, it likely emphasizes deliverables such as strengthening readiness capabilities, improving coordination and planning processes, and maintaining or enhancing systems and practices that help the state prepare for, respond to, and recover from public health threats and emergencies.
