Opportunity Summary:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary funding opportunity called "Surveillance and Response to Avian and Pandemic Influenza by National Health Authorities outside the United States" (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC-RFA-IP09-902). The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the work beyond simply providing funds, such as technical guidance and coordination. The activity area is health, and the focus is on strengthening national-level public health capacity to detect, monitor, and respond to avian influenza and potential pandemic influenza threats in humans.

For fiscal year 2009, CDC anticipated making eight or more awards, with approximately $2.5 million available that year. Across the full opportunity, the estimated total funding listed is $12.5 million. The award ceiling is stated as $300,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible. The CFDA number associated with this opportunity is 93.283 (CDC Investigations and Technical Assistance), which signals that the funding is intended to support public health investigation capacity and technical assistance activities.

Eligibility is restricted to specific foreign governments, and applications must be submitted through the Ministry of Health or another national government office responsible for human disease surveillance and public health preparedness. The eligible countries listed are the Republic of Zambia, Republic of Madagascar, Republic of Bolivia, Republic of Paraguay, the Arab Republic of Egypt, the Tunisian Republic, the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka, Nepal, the Republic of India, and the Republic of Moldova. In other words, this is not an open global competition; it is targeted to a defined set of national authorities that CDC likely identified as priorities for strengthening influenza preparedness and surveillance.

Key dates included a posted and creation date of February 12, 2009, with applications due by April 13, 2009, at 5:00 PM Eastern Time. The opportunity was set to archive on May 13, 2009, and the estimated award/funding start date was August 1, 2009. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact PGO TIMS by phone at 770-488-2700, with an email contact referenced but not specified in the summary text.

Overall, the purpose of the cooperative agreement is to help selected national public health authorities improve readiness for avian and pandemic influenza by bolstering core public health functions such as surveillance, early detection, and response coordination for human cases and outbreaks. The full program requirements, work plan expectations, and technical details were provided in the complete announcement hosted on Grants.gov.
