Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH15 162403CONT17
This funding opportunity, titled "Developing professional training programs to increase capacity for effective global health response to humanitarian emergencies," is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) global health initiative housed within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). It is a continuation announcement, which generally indicates support for ongoing work rather than launching an entirely new standalone program. The mechanism is a cooperative agreement, meaning the CDC is expected to have substantial involvement in the funded activities beyond simply providing money. In practice, that typically includes close coordination on technical direction, program design, implementation expectations, monitoring, and performance outcomes.
The central purpose of the opportunity is to strengthen the global health workforce and partner capacity to respond effectively to humanitarian emergencies by developing and delivering professional training programs. The emphasis is on building practical, job-ready skills that can be applied in real-world crisis settings, where rapid decision-making, coordination across agencies, and effective public health action are critical. While the notice text provided here is brief, the title and framing make it clear that the focus is not merely academic training, but professional preparation that improves readiness and performance during humanitarian responses, especially those involving complex public health threats.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified as CDC RFA GH15 162403CONT17 and falls under the Health activity category with CFDA number 93.067. The creation date for the opportunity was April 10, 2017, with an original closing date of May 19, 2017, indicating a relatively short application window typical for certain continuation or renewal-type actions. The CDC’s Center for Global Health is the issuing component (listed as "Centers for Disease Control - CGH"), which aligns with the international and emergency-response orientation of the project.
In terms of who can apply, eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with a note directing applicants to an "Additional Information on Eligibility" section for details. That wording usually signals that eligibility may include a range of nontraditional or specifically defined entities (for example, certain nonprofit organizations, academic institutions, international organizations, or other qualified partners), but the precise limits would be clarified in the full announcement text. The opportunity anticipates up to 10 awards, suggesting the CDC intended to support multiple recipients or multiple program sites rather than concentrating resources in a single awardee.
The award ceiling is shown as 0, which typically does not mean there is no funding, but rather that a specific maximum award amount was not stated in the summary fields provided here, or that the ceiling is defined elsewhere in the full funding announcement. With a cooperative agreement structure and multiple expected awards, it is reasonable to infer that the CDC envisioned structured collaboration with several implementing partners to expand training capacity, improve the quality and consistency of emergency response training, and ultimately increase the effectiveness of global health actions during humanitarian crises.Apply for CDC RFA GH15 162403CONT17
