Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH21 2167
This funding opportunity, titled "Strengthening detection, prevention and response to infectious disease threats in Kazakhstan" (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA GH21 2167), is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered 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. It is listed under CFDA 93.318 and was created on May 10, 2021, with an original application closing date of July 9, 2021 (applications due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time). The opportunity anticipates making one award. The posted award ceiling is listed as 0, which typically indicates the ceiling was not specified in the summary field rather than implying no funding.
The core purpose of the award is to support the Ministry of Health in the Republic of Kazakhstan in building and reinforcing national capacity to detect, prevent, and respond to infectious disease threats. The work is framed around practical readiness and response improvements, not just planning, with an emphasis on strengthening systems that can be used for both routine public health operations and emergency events. Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, CDC would be expected to have substantial involvement in the project, meaning the awardee would likely work closely with CDC on technical direction, coordination, and implementation priorities.
The program focuses on five major areas. First, it aims to improve the capability of Kazakhstans Public Health Emergency Operations Center staff by providing targeted training and ongoing mentorship. This component is geared toward ensuring that emergency operations personnel can effectively coordinate responses, manage information and logistics, and use standard emergency management practices during outbreaks or other public health emergencies. Second, it supports direct outbreak response and the implementation of investigative studies. This includes activities that help teams detect outbreaks quickly, conduct field investigations, characterize transmission patterns, and use findings to guide control measures.
Third, the opportunity places specific emphasis on strengthening COVID-19 surveillance. This suggests improving the systems and processes used to track COVID-19 trends, identify hotspots, monitor severity and outcomes, and generate timely data for decision-making. Fourth, it seeks to improve laboratory testing capacity while also examining barriers to combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This combines strengthening diagnostic and testing capabilities with work to better understand why AMR pathogens remain difficult to control, which may include gaps in detection, reporting, infection prevention practices, antimicrobial use, or laboratory infrastructure. Finally, the project is expected to promote regional learning by sharing lessons learned with other countries in the region, helping extend the value of Kazakhstans experience and strengthening cross-border preparedness and collaboration.
Eligibility is broadly summarized as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," indicating that eligibility details would be defined in the full announcement rather than in the brief listing. Overall, the opportunity is designed to help Kazakhstan enhance emergency operations, outbreak investigation and response, disease surveillance (with a clear COVID-19 focus), laboratory and AMR-related capacity, and regional knowledge-sharing, all within a CDC-supported cooperative framework.Apply for CDC RFA GH21 2167
