Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (RFA GH 13-006) is a CDC discretionary grant designed to strengthen Haiti's public health response capacity in the aftermath of the earthquake and the cholera emergency, while also supporting work related to HIV/AIDS and other potential disease threats that could emerge during the project period. The central goal is to reinforce the leadership role of Haiti's Ministry of Public Health and Population (Ministere de la Sante Publique et de la Population, MSPP) in coordinating and guiding national response efforts. Rather than focusing mainly on direct service delivery, the opportunity emphasizes technical assistance and applied research that can generate reliable, timely information for public health decision making.
A key focus of the award is helping MSPP implement and use surveillance surveys and related data systems. In practical terms, this means building the ability to collect, analyze, and interpret information about disease patterns and health needs so the government can target interventions, allocate resources, and measure progress. The FOA frames surveillance and survey implementation as essential tools for managing post-disaster reconstruction and outbreak response, particularly for cholera, where rapid detection and situational awareness can directly affect how quickly hotspots are identified and contained. The announcement also explicitly leaves room for evaluations and research activities addressing other diseases that may arise, recognizing that disaster settings and fragile health systems can create conditions for additional outbreaks or shifting health priorities.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, meaning CDC would expect substantial involvement in the work beyond simply providing funds. Cooperative agreements typically involve close technical collaboration, shared planning, and ongoing engagement between the recipient and CDC to ensure that the proposed activities meet public health standards and produce actionable results. The program is categorized under the health activity area and links to CFDA 93.283, which covers CDC investigations and technical assistance, matching the emphasis on surveillance, evaluations, and operational support.
Only one award was expected under this opportunity, with an estimated total funding level of $500,000. The funding range described includes an award floor of $100,000 and a ceiling of $1,000,000, indicating flexibility depending on the final scope of work and budget justification. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces barriers for the recipient and reflects the urgent, capacity-building nature of the work.
Eligibility is tightly restricted: the only eligible applicant is Haiti's MSPP, and no other applications were solicited. The justification given is that MSPP is the national authority responsible for protecting public health, has an existing partnership with CDC in Haiti, maintains a presence across all 10 geographic departments, and is positioned to carry out research and surveillance activities nationwide. The announcement also notes MSPP's statutory authority to develop and oversee research-related regulations and quality assurance/quality control systems, which is important when the work includes surveys, evaluations, and other data-driven activities that must meet ethical and methodological standards.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on January 11, 2013, created on March 15, 2013, and had an original closing date of March 18, 2013 that was extended to March 25, 2013, with an archive date of April 17, 2013. The CDC Procurement and Grants Office Technical Information Management unit is listed as the contact point for access issues, with a phone number (770-488-2700) and email (pgotim@cdc.gov).
