Opportunity Summary:

The Tuberculosis Elimination and Laboratory Cooperative Agreement (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS15-150102CONT16) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continuation funding opportunity administered through the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention. It sits within the health funding activity category and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which generally means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement with recipients in carrying out the supported work (for example, through collaboration, technical guidance, shared planning, or coordinated implementation), rather than operating as a hands-off grant.

This particular announcement is explicitly a continuation of funds tied to the earlier opportunity PS15-1501, titled "Tuberculosis Elimination and Laboratory Cooperative Agreement." In practical terms, that means the eligible applicant pool is restricted: it is intended only for organizations that were already funded under PS15-1501 and are continuing the same line of CDC-supported TB elimination and laboratory activities. The listing shows eligible applicants as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the eligibility statement removes ambiguity by clarifying that new applicants are not the target for this continuation action.

The program aligns with the CDCs core public health mission in tuberculosis control and elimination, including the laboratory capacity needed to detect, confirm, and monitor TB and drug resistance. While the excerpted notice does not provide a detailed scope of work or required activities, the title and the CDC center involved strongly indicate continued support for public health TB prevention and control efforts and the laboratory functions that underpin those efforts, such as testing, quality assurance, reporting, and coordination with TB surveillance and case management systems. The cooperative agreement structure also signals that recipients are typically expected to work in close partnership with CDC program staff to meet national TB elimination goals and performance expectations.

Administratively, the opportunity was posted and created on July 1, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 31, 2015, and an archive date of September 30, 2015. The announcement indicates an expected 50 awards, consistent with a program that supports a broad network of public health jurisdictions or established grantees. It lists the CFDA number 93.116 (Project Grants and Cooperative Agreements for Tuberculosis Control Programs), and it specifies that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding fields in the provided record show zeros for estimated total funding, award ceiling, and award floor, which typically indicates those amounts were not populated in the summary record or vary by recipient under continuation funding rather than being competed as a new, fixed-dollar opportunity.

For applicants or current grantees needing help obtaining or viewing the full announcement, the CDC provides a point of contact through its procurement/grants office: CDC PGO at 770-488-2700 or via email at pgotim@cdc.gov.
