Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH16 171902CONT17
The grant opportunity titled "Global Emergency Response and Recovery Partner Engagement: Expanding Efforts and Strategies to Improve Rapid Response to Public Health Emergencies Globally" is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) continuation funding announcement focused on strengthening how partners support fast, effective responses to public health emergencies around the world. It sits under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, CDC, specifically within the Center for Global Health (CGH), Division of Global Health Protection (DGHP), and the Emergency Response and Recovery Branch (ERRB). The overall aim is to expand and refine coordinated emergency response and recovery efforts so that outbreaks and other public health threats can be identified, contained, and managed more quickly and effectively in diverse global settings.
This opportunity is issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the work, such as collaborating on strategy, technical direction, coordination, monitoring, and evaluation. The funding instrument choice also signals that the work is not simply a hands-off grant for independent activities, but rather a structured partnership where awardees and CDC staff work closely to advance shared emergency preparedness and response priorities. Because it is categorized as continuation funding, it is designed to continue or extend existing efforts rather than start an entirely new program from scratch, often supporting organizations that already have roles, systems, or field presence relevant to emergency response operations and recovery programming.
The program is aligned with the broader public health goal of improving rapid response capacity globally. In practical terms, that generally implies strengthening partner engagement mechanisms, improving operational readiness, and supporting more effective deployment, coordination, and recovery planning during emergencies. While the source data provided does not list specific required activities, the title and program area strongly indicate an emphasis on response systems that can scale quickly during outbreaks, humanitarian health emergencies, and other acute public health events, along with the recovery phase that follows initial containment. "Partner engagement" also implies a focus on how organizations coordinate with governments, international agencies, and local stakeholders, including the processes and strategies that allow multiple actors to move quickly without duplication or gaps.
The opportunity number is CDC RFA GH16-171902CONT17, and it is listed under CFDA 93.318, which is a CDC global health-related assistance listing. The opportunity was created on July 31, 2017, with an original closing date of August 28, 2017. The expected number of awards is 15, suggesting the CDC anticipated supporting a set of partners rather than a single implementer, which fits the idea of a networked approach to emergency response and recovery capacity. The award ceiling is shown as 0, which typically indicates that a single fixed maximum award amount was not specified in the summary field, that ceilings may be determined elsewhere in the full announcement, or that amounts could vary by recipient and scope under continuation terms.
Eligibility is broadly described as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," meaning the eligible applicant types are not fully specified in the summary data provided and would normally be clarified in the full notice. In many CDC global health cooperative agreements, this category can include a range of entities such as non-profit organizations, non-governmental organizations, academic institutions, and other public or private organizations with demonstrated technical capacity and experience relevant to the program. Because this is continuation funding, eligibility is often closely tied to current awardees or organizations already engaged in related CDC-supported workstreams, though that determination would depend on the specific eligibility language in the complete announcement.
In short, this grant opportunity supports CDC-led efforts to enhance global emergency response and recovery by expanding and improving the way partner organizations prepare for, mobilize during, and help countries recover from public health emergencies. It is structured as a cooperative agreement under CDC's Center for Global Health, intended to fund multiple partners, and designed to continue existing work to make rapid response more coordinated, strategic, and operationally effective worldwide.Apply for CDC RFA GH16 171902CONT17
