Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH15 16320101SUPP19
The grant opportunity titled "Global Health Security Partnership Engagement: Expanding Efforts and Strategies to Protect and Improve Public Health Globally" is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement focused on strengthening global capacity to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease threats. It is grounded in the broader U.S. Government vision for global health security: a world that can reduce the likelihood of outbreaks, identify them quickly when they occur, report them transparently, and coordinate effective responses across countries and sectors to limit spread, reduce illness and death, and minimize economic disruption. The opportunity emphasizes that global health threats include naturally occurring outbreaks as well as intentional or accidental releases of dangerous pathogens, and it frames global health security as not only a public health objective but also an international security priority supported through collaboration with public and private stakeholders.
A key policy foundation referenced in the opportunity is the World Health Organization International Health Regulations (IHR), which were adopted in 2005 and entered into force in 2007, establishing a legally binding framework for countries to prepare for and respond to public health emergencies of international concern (PHEICs). While the description notes meaningful progress over time in building local, regional, and international capabilities to address emerging infectious diseases, it stresses that significant vulnerabilities persist. These include weak surveillance systems in some geographic areas, institutional and logistical barriers that slow or limit delivery of essential health services and interventions, hesitancy to share outbreak information or biological samples, the emergence of novel pathogens and antimicrobial drug resistance, gaps in border health and other public health security measures, and the possibility of biological incidents caused deliberately or by accident. The overall logic of the grant is that these gaps make continued investment in preparedness and response capacity urgent and necessary, because a weakness in one place can quickly become a regional or global risk.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the CDC (Center for Global Health). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the CDC expects substantial involvement in the supported work, such as collaboration on technical direction, coordination, or performance monitoring, rather than providing funds with minimal federal engagement. The activity category is health, and the CFDA number associated with the program is 93.318. The opportunity number is CDC RFA GH15-16320101SUPP19, with a creation date of April 15, 2019, and an original closing date of June 17, 2019, with applications due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline.
The opportunity anticipates making up to 12 awards, with an award ceiling of $5,000,000. Eligible applicants include a wide range of organizations that could contribute to global health security work, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), and other entities as allowed under additional eligibility guidance. In practical terms, the structure and eligibility suggest the CDC is seeking capable partners with the reach, technical expertise, and operational capacity to engage in international and cross-sector global health security efforts, particularly those that help countries close persistent gaps in surveillance, reporting, preparedness, and response systems aligned with IHR expectations and broader outbreak readiness goals.
Overall, the grant is positioned as a mechanism to expand and reinforce partnerships that improve real-world readiness for infectious disease threats by strengthening systems that can stop outbreaks earlier, detect them faster, and respond more effectively when they occur. The description makes clear that the program is motivated by persistent weaknesses in global preparedness infrastructure and by the increasing complexity of infectious disease risks, including novel pathogens, resistance, and biosecurity-related incidents, all of which require coordinated, networked approaches rather than isolated national efforts.Apply for CDC RFA GH15 16320101SUPP19
