Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Rapid Response to Ebola Viral Disease in West Africa through Strengthening of Surveillance Systems and Disruption of Chain of Transmission Interventions," is a continuation cooperative agreement administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS-CDC), through its Center for Global Health. It is listed under Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH15 162902CONT16 and falls within the health funding activity category, associated with CFDA number 93.318. The opportunity was posted on February 9, 2016, created the same day, and had an application closing date of April 8, 2016 (with no later extended deadline shown).
The core purpose of the award is to support rapid response activities for Ebola viral disease in West Africa by strengthening surveillance systems and implementing interventions that disrupt chains of transmission. In practical terms, the emphasis is on improving the ability to detect suspected cases quickly, report them through functional surveillance and data systems, investigate and confirm cases, and then act fast to prevent further spread. The phrase "disruption of chain of transmission" typically points to on-the-ground public health actions such as case investigation and isolation support, contact identification and monitoring, infection prevention and control measures, and other response operations designed to stop person-to-person transmission once a case is suspected or confirmed.
This announcement is categorized as a continuation opportunity, meaning it is intended to continue an existing project or partnership rather than start a brand-new competitive program. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement by CDC in the technical direction or oversight of the work, such as collaboration on implementation approaches, performance monitoring, and coordination with broader response efforts. The listing indicates an expected number of awards of one, reinforcing that it is likely tailored to a specific ongoing activity or recipient as part of continued Ebola response programming.
Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with a note to consult an additional eligibility text field for specifics (not included in the provided source data). The award ceiling is shown as 0, which usually means the ceiling was not specified in the summary record or is determined by other constraints in the full announcement or continuation award documentation rather than presented as a standard capped amount in this listing.
Overall, the opportunity is a CDC-led continuation cooperative agreement aimed at sustaining or extending targeted Ebola response capacity in West Africa, prioritizing strengthened surveillance and rapid, transmission-interrupting interventions that can quickly identify cases and prevent outbreaks from expanding.
