Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH16 172002CONT17
The APHL-CDC Partnership to Strengthen Public Health Laboratories Internationally is a continuation cooperative agreement funding opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically under CDCs Center for Global Health (CGH). The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH16 172002CONT17 and is associated with CFDA 93.318. It is framed as a health-focused activity intended to support and extend ongoing work aimed at improving public health laboratory systems outside the United States through a partnership model involving the Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL) and CDC.
Because this is labeled a continuation opportunity, it is designed primarily to maintain and build on existing, previously funded efforts rather than start an entirely new program from scratch. Continuation announcements typically support current recipients or established projects that have already demonstrated progress and are moving into a subsequent budget period or phase. In practical terms, this means the program emphasis is on sustaining technical assistance, strengthening laboratory capacity, and expanding or deepening the impact of prior investments in global public health laboratory infrastructure and performance, rather than initiating brand-new, unrelated activities.
The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which signals that CDC expects to have substantial programmatic involvement during the project period. Unlike a standard grant where the recipient operates more independently, cooperative agreements generally involve ongoing collaboration with the federal agency. For an international laboratory strengthening effort, that often translates into joint planning, shared technical direction, coordinated monitoring and evaluation, and alignment with CDC global health priorities and standards. The overall purpose is to bolster the ability of public health laboratories internationally to detect, identify, and respond to health threats, which can include infectious disease outbreaks and other conditions relevant to global health security.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced as being located in a separate section of the full announcement. That phrasing commonly indicates that eligibility may be limited to specific organizations, potentially including APHL or select partners, or entities meeting defined criteria tied to continuation status. The source data does not spell out the full eligibility rules, but the continuation label strongly suggests the applicant pool may be restricted to existing awardees or organizations already participating in the partnership framework.
Key administrative details include a creation date of March 1, 2017 and an original closing date of April 1, 2017, indicating a relatively short application window typical of continuation or administrative renewal actions. The expected number of awards is 10, suggesting multiple projects, sites, or partner arrangements may be supported under this umbrella. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which usually means a specific maximum amount was not provided in the summary record or is determined by other factors such as negotiated budgets, availability of funds, or continuation-year funding levels rather than a fixed cap stated upfront.
In summary, this opportunity is a CDC-led, APHL-associated continuation cooperative agreement focused on international public health laboratory strengthening under CFDA 93.318. It anticipates up to 10 awards, emphasizes ongoing collaboration with CDC, and supports sustained capacity-building work to improve laboratory systems and readiness internationally, with administrative timelines set in March to April 2017 and a funding cap not specified in the summary data.Apply for CDC RFA GH16 172002CONT17
