Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH13 13010501SUPP18
This grant opportunity, titled "Program Expansion Supplement to Cooperative Agreement on Immunization with the World Health Organization (WHO)," is a CDC-issued supplemental funding action designed to extend the timeline of an existing cooperative agreement rather than launch a broad, open competition. The supplement supports continuation of work tied to major US Government-endorsed global immunization priorities, specifically the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, the Global Measles Initiative, and the Global Immunization Vision and Strategy (2006-2015). In practical terms, the intent is to ensure that critical immunization and disease control activities already underway through WHO can keep operating without disruption while broader global eradication, elimination, and disease reduction targets are pursued.
The core activities emphasized in the description focus on strengthening the systems needed to detect, confirm, and stop vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs), with polio and measles highlighted as central priorities. This includes supporting surveillance for polio, measles, and other VPDs so countries can rapidly identify suspected cases, investigate outbreaks, and monitor progress toward elimination. It also includes maintaining and enhancing the global laboratory networks that provide diagnostic confirmation and standardized testing capacity for polio and measles, which is essential for credible surveillance and for verifying whether transmission has been interrupted. Another major component is support for planning and implementing supplemental immunization activities, such as targeted or mass vaccination campaigns that close immunity gaps, respond to outbreaks, or accelerate progress in hard-to-reach populations. The opportunity also stresses strengthening routine immunization delivery systems in developing countries, meaning improvements in the everyday capacity of health systems to deliver vaccines reliably, manage cold chain and logistics, track coverage, and build workforce and program management capabilities.
The opportunity explicitly frames these activities as critical to globally agreed goals around eradication, elimination, and reduction of disease burden. Beyond polio and measles, the notice leaves room for the cooperative agreement to support additional global health priorities that align with CDC goals, indicating flexibility to apply resources to related immunization and infectious disease needs as circumstances evolve. It is also linked to "Healthy People 2020" focus areas, particularly Immunization and Infectious Disease and Maternal, Infant and Child Health, reflecting the broader public health rationale that improving vaccination systems and controlling infectious diseases directly benefits child survival and community health outcomes.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically indicates substantial programmatic involvement by the funding agency (CDC) in planning, coordination, or oversight compared to a standard grant. The opportunity is cataloged under CFDA 93.185 and is managed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Center for Global Health (CDC-CGH). Only one award is expected, and eligibility is limited exclusively to the World Health Organization; no other applicants are being solicited, making it a single-entity, continuation-style supplement rather than a competitive call. The listing notes an original closing date of October 14, 2017, and identifies the opportunity number as CDC RFA GH13-13010501SUPP18. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which commonly signals that the maximum amount is not specified in the public synopsis or is determined through internal budgeting for the supplement rather than advertised as a fixed cap.Apply for CDC RFA GH13 13010501SUPP18
