Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH17 1780
The grant opportunity titled "Protecting and Improving Public Health Globally: Cooperative Agreement between Ministry of Agriculture of Georgia and US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention" is a U.S. CDC-funded cooperative agreement designed to strengthen Georgia's ability to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease threats, with a particular emphasis on zoonotic diseases (diseases that can spread between animals and humans). It sits under the broader U.S. Government Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA), which aims to reduce global risks from outbreaks by helping countries build the core capacities required under the International Health Regulations (IHR 2005). In practical terms, the opportunity is about building stronger systems in Georgia so that animal-origin health threats are identified early, contained quickly, and managed in a coordinated way before they become human health emergencies.
This funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA GH17 1780; CFDA: 93.318), which typically means the CDC expects substantial involvement and collaboration during implementation rather than simply providing funds with minimal oversight. The administering agency is the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, specifically CDC's Center for Global Health (CGH). The opportunity was posted on July 13, 2017, and originally closed on September 13, 2017. The listing anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The award ceiling is listed as 0, which usually indicates the ceiling was not specified in the notice or is determined through other budgeting guidance rather than capped in the summary field.
The core partnership is explicitly framed as CDC working with the Georgian Ministry of Agriculture to deliver GHSA-related capacity building in three priority areas. First is workforce capacity development through the Field Epidemiology and Laboratory Training Program (FELTP). This focus area is meant to expand and refresh the skilled workforce needed for outbreak detection and response, especially by developing applied epidemiology and laboratory competencies. A key element highlighted is training public health veterinarians and ensuring they can operate effectively alongside epidemiologists and laboratorians, using evidence-based methods and emphasizing timely detection and response. The intent is not just training for its own sake, but strengthening the human infrastructure required for functional surveillance and rapid field action.
Second is operationalizing the One Health approach through stronger coordination and collaboration. One Health is the idea that human health, animal health, and environmental factors are tightly connected, so prevention and response work best when sectors coordinate rather than operate in silos. In the context of this opportunity, One Health is treated as a practical coordination framework: improving joint planning, shared situational awareness, and cross-sector response around zoonotic disease risks. The cooperative agreement is therefore expected to support mechanisms that bring relevant stakeholders together, align priorities, and improve how information and responsibilities flow between animal health and public health systems.
Third is laboratory system strengthening, which is essential for confirming cases, characterizing pathogens, and informing control measures. While the notice does not enumerate specific laboratory activities in detail, the stated goal is to strengthen the laboratory system in ways that support the broader surveillance and response mission. In a zoonotic disease prevention context, this typically implies better diagnostic capability, improved specimen handling and referral pathways, stronger quality practices, and laboratory-epidemiology linkages so that test results translate quickly into action. The emphasis on laboratorians working closely with epidemiologists and veterinarians underscores that lab strengthening is expected to be integrated with surveillance and field response workflows rather than treated as a standalone technical upgrade.
Programmatically, the funded proposals are expected to directly support the GHSA action package on Zoonotic Disease Prevention by reinforcing and advancing the Georgian National Animal Health Plan. The opportunity highlights a prevention-first strategy: stopping diseases in animals before they spill over into humans. That framing makes clear the award is meant to improve upstream detection and control in animal populations, while also strengthening the existing surveillance system so emerging threats are identified earlier and monitored more effectively. The intended outcomes include a larger and better-prepared workforce, stronger cross-sector coordination through One Health structures, improved laboratory capacity, and an overall surveillance and response system that can detect zoonotic threats quickly and act decisively to reduce risk to human populations.Apply for CDC RFA GH17 1780
