Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH16 1719
The funding opportunity titled "Global Emergency Response and Recovery Partner Engagement: Expanding Efforts and Strategies to Improve Rapid Response to Public Health Emergencies Globally" (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA GH16-1719) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Center for Global Health discretionary program that uses a cooperative agreement mechanism. In practice, this means the CDC is not only providing financial support but is also likely to remain actively involved in coordination, technical input, and oversight as recipients carry out the work, which is typical for cooperative agreements tied to emergency response readiness and global health security priorities.
The core goal of the FOA is to strengthen the ability of humanitarian partners to respond quickly and effectively to public health threats in humanitarian emergencies and conflict settings. The emphasis is on improving rapid response capacity for populations impacted by crises, where health systems are disrupted, access is constrained, and disease risks rise quickly. Rather than focusing solely on one disease or one country, the opportunity is framed around building scalable and deployable response capability that can be mobilized across different emergencies worldwide, including outbreaks, complex humanitarian emergencies, and conflict-driven displacement situations.
A central feature of the program is capacity building for humanitarian response partners through two main pathways: people and systems. On the "people" side, the FOA aims to develop and maintain a cadre of humanitarian public health professionals who are trained and ready to deploy, meaning a pipeline of staff with relevant technical skills (such as outbreak investigation, surveillance, infection prevention and control, water and sanitation-related public health measures, emergency clinical support, and health coordination in crisis settings). On the "systems" side, it supports creation or strengthening of the logistical and operational mechanisms needed for rapid response, which typically includes readiness planning, deployment protocols, supply chain arrangements, pre-positioning or rapid procurement systems, emergency operations coordination, information management, and mechanisms for working alongside other humanitarian actors under established coordination structures.
The program is designed to translate preparedness into real-world operational speed during crises. That includes improving how quickly partners can assess needs, mobilize staff and commodities, establish field operations, coordinate with ministries of health and humanitarian clusters, and deliver time-sensitive public health interventions to affected communities. The description signals a strong focus on practical readiness: not just training events or written plans, but functioning arrangements that allow rapid activation when an emergency occurs.
Eligibility is broad and includes nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in those categories), private institutions of higher education, for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses), small businesses, and other eligible entities as defined by the FOA. The announcement also explicitly references foreign organizations, defining them as public or private organizations (nonprofit or for-profit) located outside the United States and its territories and subject to the laws of the country where they are established, regardless of staff citizenship or where activities occur. This indicates that the CDC intended the opportunity to be accessible to international implementers and partners operating in global humanitarian contexts, not only US-based organizations.
Key administrative details in the source data include an original closing date of August 15, 2016, a creation date of June 15, 2016, and an expectation of up to 10 awards. The listed award ceiling is shown as 0 in the provided data, which usually means the ceiling was either not specified in that field, was variable, or was documented elsewhere in the full FOA materials rather than in the summary record. The CFDA number is 93.318, and the activity category is health, consistent with CDC global health emergency response capacity-building efforts.
Overall, this FOA is best understood as an investment in surge-ready humanitarian public health response: building trained response teams and the operational backbone (logistics, deployment procedures, coordination and management systems) that allow partners to move quickly in emergencies and deliver effective support to crisis-affected populations worldwide.Apply for CDC RFA GH16 1719
