Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH16 17180301SUPP18
The grant opportunity titled "Partnering with Regional Institutes to Strengthen Essential Public Health Functions in Vietnam" is a CDC cooperative agreement designed to build stronger public health capacity across Vietnam by directly supporting four Regional Institutes. The core aim is to help these institutes better carry out the World Health Organization's essential public health functions, often described as the foundational operations that allow a public health system to understand population health risks, prevent disease, detect threats early, and respond effectively when problems emerge. In practical terms, the opportunity is focused on strengthening the institutional capabilities, systems, and workforce needed to deliver reliable essential public health services at the regional level, with an emphasis on measurable improvements in surveillance, prevention, and response across multiple diseases and conditions rather than narrow, single-disease projects.
A major theme of the opportunity is alignment with the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA), which is an international framework aimed at improving countries' ability to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease threats and other health hazards that can become outbreaks or cross borders. The NOFO highlights three connected priorities that mirror GHSA goals: preventing avoidable epidemics, detecting threats early, and ensuring rapid, effective response. Alongside these outbreak-focused priorities, the opportunity also calls for strengthening cross-cutting regional public health functions, meaning activities that improve readiness and performance across many programs at once. Examples of these cross-cutting functions typically include stronger surveillance architecture, improved laboratory and data systems, better coordination and incident management structures, workforce development and training, risk communication capacity, and program management practices that help public health services operate consistently and at scale.
The work supported under this funding is framed around enabling the regional institutes to better assess and assure the health of Vietnam's population. "Assess" generally implies improved ability to gather and interpret health data, monitor trends, and recognize emerging risks using multi-disease surveillance approaches. "Assure" generally implies improved ability to deliver or coordinate the public health actions that follow from those assessments, such as implementing prevention and control measures, guiding outbreak investigations, supporting rapid response teams, and coordinating with other parts of the health system. The NOFO specifically emphasizes enhanced capabilities for multi-disease, multi-condition surveillance and for response, prevention, and control, signaling a preference for strengthening systems and platforms that can be used across different threats rather than building separate vertical structures for each pathogen.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, under CFDA number 93.318. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which usually means substantial involvement by the CDC during implementation, often through technical collaboration, joint planning, and ongoing performance monitoring rather than a hands-off grant relationship. The opportunity number is CDC RFA GH16 17180301SUPP18, originally posted June 29, 2018, with an original application deadline of July 28, 2018 (with electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time). The award ceiling listed is $1,000,000, and the CDC expected to make one award, suggesting a single recipient would likely coordinate or manage activities spanning the four regional institutes. Eligibility is listed as "Others," with further clarification referenced in the eligibility text of the full announcement, indicating that the competition may be limited to specific types of organizations or partners identified by CDC program requirements.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted investment in Vietnam's regional public health infrastructure and operational readiness, aiming to make the regional institutes stronger hubs for essential public health operations. By improving their ability to run surveillance systems, detect and analyze threats quickly, coordinate rapid response, and deliver prevention and control activities across multiple conditions, the project is intended to reduce the likelihood that outbreaks become epidemics, shorten the time between detection and action, and improve routine public health performance that supports long-term population health security.Apply for CDC RFA GH16 17180301SUPP18
