Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH16 167702CONT17
This opportunity is a continuation cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Center for Global Health, focused on sustaining and expanding an existing technical collaboration with the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) in Thailand. The core purpose is to strengthen BMA capacity to prevent, monitor, assess, and mitigate the effects of public health threats in Bangkok and, by extension, support broader national health security in the Kingdom of Thailand. The grant sits under global health funding streams, explicitly including PEPFAR-related resources, which signals that HIV/AIDS-related priorities may be part of the broader public health threat work or integrated with systems that also support infectious disease preparedness and response.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, meaning CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the work rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal engagement. In practical terms, this typically reflects a partnership model where CDC may help shape technical approaches, provide subject matter expertise, support monitoring and evaluation, and coordinate with local and national stakeholders. The emphasis on "technical collaboration" indicates that much of the funded effort is likely oriented around strengthening systems, processes, workforce capability, surveillance, preparedness planning, and response coordination rather than building infrastructure alone.
The opportunity is categorized as continuation funding, which generally means it is intended to support ongoing work under an existing project or established relationship rather than launching a brand-new initiative open to a wide pool of first-time applicants. Eligibility is listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which in many continuation notices typically points to restricted eligibility, often limited to current recipients or specific partners already engaged in the collaboration. The funding activity category is Health, and the CFDA number is 93.318, a CDC global health-related assistance listing.
In terms of operational focus, the title lays out a full public health risk management cycle: prevention (reducing the likelihood of threats and limiting spread), monitoring (building or improving surveillance and routine data collection), assessment (analyzing information to understand severity, scope, and drivers), and mitigation (implementing interventions to reduce impact, including preparedness and response actions). While the notice does not provide a detailed work plan in the excerpt, the framing strongly suggests capacity building within a large metropolitan public health authority, where priorities commonly include strengthening event-based and indicator-based surveillance, improving laboratory and epidemiologic linkages, enhancing outbreak investigation capability, reinforcing emergency operations and incident management structures, and improving risk communication and coordination across city departments and health facilities.
The timeline information provided shows the opportunity was created on February 24, 2017, with an original closing date of April 28, 2017. The expected number of awards is listed as 10. The award ceiling is shown as 0, which often indicates that the ceiling is either not specified in the synopsis, varies by applicant/workplan, is determined by available funds and negotiations, or is otherwise captured in the full announcement documentation rather than the summary fields.
Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as CDC continuing a structured partnership to help Bangkok’s city-level health authority build stronger, more resilient public health systems that can detect and respond to health threats more quickly and effectively. By referencing global health funding and PEPFAR, it also signals alignment with U.S. global health priorities and the expectation that the strengthened capabilities may support multiple disease areas and public health threats, including those connected to HIV programs and broader communicable disease control and preparedness.Apply for CDC RFA GH16 167702CONT17
