Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH15 161903CONT17
This funding opportunity, titled "Strengthening Applied Epidemiology and Sustainable International Public Health Capacity through Field Epidemiology Training Programs," is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) grant action under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is identified by Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH15 161903CONT17 and was created on March 1, 2017, with an original closing date of April 1, 2017. The opportunity sits within the health funding activity category and is associated with CFDA Number 93.318, which reflects CDC global health-related assistance programs.
The opportunity is categorized as a continuation and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. A continuation opportunity generally means CDC intended this to support ongoing work by existing awardees or current projects rather than launching an entirely new, open competition. The cooperative agreement structure also matters because it typically involves substantial CDC involvement in the work, such as technical guidance, collaborative planning, joint oversight of key activities, and close coordination on deliverables, rather than a more hands-off relationship that is common with standard grants.
Programmatically, the focus is on strengthening applied epidemiology and building sustainable international public health capacity through Field Epidemiology Training Programs (FETPs). In practical terms, FETPs are workforce development models designed to create and reinforce a cadre of public health professionals who can detect, investigate, and respond to health threats. These programs usually emphasize hands-on, service-based training in real public health settings, often supporting activities like outbreak investigation, surveillance system strengthening, data analysis and interpretation, and translating findings into public health action. The framing in the title highlights two core outcomes: improving applied epidemiology capacity (the ability to use epidemiologic methods in operational, real-world public health work) and ensuring sustainability (building systems, institutions, and local expertise that can continue functioning effectively beyond a single funding period).
Eligibility is listed as "Others," with additional clarification indicated to be located in a separate eligibility text field. That wording usually signals that eligibility is defined more specifically in the full announcement, potentially including certain organizations, institutions, or entities that meet particular criteria (for example, organizations already implementing FETPs, affiliated training institutions, governmental or quasi-governmental public health entities, or other partners with specialized capacity). Without the additional eligibility text, the summary point is that it is not a broad, default eligibility category (like state governments or universities) and instead relies on specific eligibility language in the complete notice.
The announcement indicates an expectation of 10 awards, suggesting CDC anticipated supporting multiple recipients or country/region-focused implementing partners at the same time. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which commonly indicates that the maximum award amount was not specified in the summary record and would be detailed in the full funding announcement or determined based on continuation budgets and available appropriations. Overall, the opportunity reflects CDCs ongoing investment in strengthening the global public health workforce and operational epidemiology capacity by supporting structured training programs that are tightly linked to national and regional public health priorities and real-time response needs.Apply for CDC RFA GH15 161903CONT17
