Opportunity Summary:

The Tuberculosis Elimination and Laboratory Cooperative Agreement is a continuation funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically within NCHHSTP. It is focused on public health work in the area of tuberculosis (TB) elimination and the laboratory capacity that supports TB prevention, detection, and control activities. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement with award recipients during the project period, such as providing technical guidance, collaboration, and oversight tied to program implementation and performance.

This opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS15-150103CONT17 and is categorized as a continuation award rather than a brand-new, open competition. The creation date for the listing is July 6, 2016, and the original closing date was August 31, 2016. The activity category is Health, and it is associated with CFDA number 93.116, which corresponds to CDC tuberculosis-related assistance. The listing indicates an expected total of 10 awards, suggesting support for a defined set of recipients or jurisdictions that are continuing previously funded TB elimination and laboratory efforts.

Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with a note to consult the additional eligibility information in the full announcement for clarification. In practical terms, continuation cooperative agreements of this type often apply to established public health entities or organizations already engaged in CDC-supported TB prevention and laboratory work, but the precise eligible applicant types would be specified in the full eligibility section referenced in the source text.

The award ceiling is listed as 0, which typically indicates that a single maximum funding amount is not specified in the summarized fields and may instead be determined by factors such as recipient type, jurisdictional needs, approved work plans, congressional appropriations, or CDC programmatic decisions for the continuation period. Overall, the core purpose of the opportunity is to sustain and strengthen TB elimination activities and the laboratory infrastructure needed for timely diagnosis, surveillance, and response, using a cooperative agreement model that emphasizes ongoing collaboration between CDC and the funded recipients.
