Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH 23 0042
The grant opportunity titled "Global Emergency Response and Recovery Partner Engagement: Expanding Efforts and Strategies to Improve Rapid Response to Public Health Emergencies Globally" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH 23 0042) is a CDC cooperative agreement designed to strengthen the real-world readiness of public health emergency partners working in humanitarian crises and conflict-affected settings. The core idea is to build and maintain a capable network of organizations that can move quickly when a serious public health threat emerges, help contain it early, and then support longer-term recovery work that helps communities and systems become more resilient after the immediate emergency phase has passed.
A central feature of this opportunity is that it is intended to create an Approved-But-Unfunded (ABU) list. In practical terms, that means CDC is not necessarily committing upfront funding through the initial selection alone; instead, it is building a vetted portfolio of partners that can be activated and funded when an emergency arises that requires federal support. The ABU approach is meant to reduce delays that often happen during crises by having qualified partners already identified, reviewed, and ready to deploy programming and operational support rapidly in virtually any region of the world. When CDC determines that an emergency requires a federally supported response to effectively manage and address specific public health threats, CDC can then fund partners from this ABU list to carry out response activities.
The program emphasis is on improving capacities that enable early detection and rapid response, especially where health systems are under extreme pressure due to displacement, insecurity, damaged infrastructure, disrupted services, or ongoing violence. This includes strengthening partners ability to identify threats quickly, scale evidence-based interventions under difficult field conditions, and support public health functions that can limit morbidity and mortality during emergencies. At the same time, the opportunity highlights recovery and resilience: it is not only about short-term surge response, but also about helping establish sustainable, longer-term programs that support rebuilding and strengthening systems during and after emergencies so countries and communities are better prepared for future shocks.
This funding opportunity falls under the category of discretionary funding, using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement generally indicates substantial involvement by CDC beyond what is typical in a standard grant, such as technical collaboration, coordination, and alignment with broader emergency response objectives. The activity category is health, and the CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) number is 93.318. The opportunity is administered by the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, specifically through CGH (the Center for Global Health).
Eligibility is broad and includes many entity types, such as state, county, city, and special district governments; independent school districts; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding those that are institutions of higher education in those specific categories); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; small businesses; and additional entities as clarified in the official eligibility text. The listing also indicates the opportunity is essentially open to any of the entity types named, subject to any further clarifications in the full notice.
Key administrative details include an opportunity creation date of April 5, 2023, with an original application closing date of June 6, 2023, and an electronic submission deadline of 11:59 pm Eastern Time on the due date. CDC anticipated making selections that would result in approximately 10 awards, aligned with the goal of establishing a standing roster of capable partners. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which typically signals that funding levels are not pre-set in the notice and may depend on the nature of specific emergency activations, available appropriations, response scope, and CDC determinations at the time of an event.
Overall, this NOFO is best understood as a readiness and surge-capacity investment: CDC is seeking to pre-identify and prepare a group of organizations that can rapidly support public health response operations in humanitarian and conflict contexts worldwide, while also contributing to recovery efforts that rebuild resilience and reduce vulnerability to future public health emergencies.Apply for CDC RFA GH 23 0042
