Opportunity Summary:
The Public Health Conference Support Program (Funding Opportunity Number CDC PA GH09 902) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CFDA 93.283) designed to provide partial financial support for specific, non-federal public health conferences. The supported events must focus on global health, management training for global health, or field epidemiology training programs for international health. The announcement highlights several examples of the kinds of meetings it intends to support, including a Global Conference, Regional Conferences, and the EIS International Night associated with COGH. In practical terms, this program is meant to help sustain high-value convenings where public health professionals, ministries of health, and international partners share training approaches, field epidemiology practices, and global health management strategies.
This opportunity was posted on April 24, 2009, with a letter of intent due May 30, 2009, and a full application due June 30, 2009 (the closing date). The eligible conference dates are constrained to a specific window: only conferences planned to take place between August 1, 2009 and July 31, 2010 can be proposed under this announcement. Projects are structured around a one-year project period, and applicants are instructed to submit one application per conference. While each application must be submitted under only one topic area of programmatic interest (as referenced in Attachment I of the full announcement), the notice indicates that awards may be combined across related events such as the Global Conference, regional conferences, and the EIS International Night, suggesting CDC anticipated coordinated proposals or complementary funding decisions across the broader conference portfolio.
The CDC anticipated making about three awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding level of $1,500,000. The funding instrument is a grant, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. The published award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which typically indicates the funding range was not specified in the summary field and would need to be confirmed in the full announcement or through CDC grants guidance; however, the total estimated funding and expected number of awards provide a rough sense of the overall scale.
Eligibility is described broadly as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," with additional detail emphasizing that applicants must have demonstrated success managing and conducting international and global conferences. Specifically, the program requires substantial experience, described as at least three to four years of co-sponsoring conferences with ministries of health and governments. Applicants are also expected to have established relationships and collaborations with the international community, ministries of health in multiple countries, and field epidemiology network programs, reflecting the program's emphasis on proven capacity, credibility, and existing partnerships rather than first-time conference organizers. The eligibility language also notes that certain types of institutions may need to be non-profit (for example, hospitals, colleges, universities, and research institutions), consistent with common CDC grant eligibility limitations.
For applicants needing assistance with access to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is the CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management office, reachable by phone at 770-488-2700.
