Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA IP 24 017
This funding opportunity, titled "Collaborative research on influenza and other respiratory pathogens in South Africa" (RFA IP 24 017), is a CDC-led notice of funding opportunity aimed at supporting applied public health research on influenza and other respiratory pathogens that are important for population health in South Africa. The work is intended to generate practical evidence that can guide decisions about prevention and control, particularly for groups at higher risk of severe illness and death. The program is administered through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD), and uses a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically means the CDC expects to have substantial involvement in shaping, coordinating, and supporting the work rather than simply providing funding with minimal interaction.
The intended partner and eligible applicant highlighted in the announcement is the National Institute for Communicable Diseases (NICD) in the Republic of South Africa, reflecting an emphasis on a strong in-country public health institute with established surveillance and laboratory capacity. The opportunity focuses on collaborative studies that cover several interconnected areas: surveillance and epidemiology (including measuring disease burden and understanding who gets sick, where, and when), transmission dynamics (how respiratory pathogens spread in communities and healthcare settings), and laboratory methods (improving or expanding diagnostic, virologic, and other lab approaches that underpin surveillance and research). In addition to describing the problem, the grant is also meant to evaluate and strengthen preventive tools and strategies, such as vaccines and antivirals, and to study how to increase the coverage and uptake of interventions that reduce illness and death. In other words, it is not only about detecting and describing outbreaks or seasonal trends, but also about identifying what works to prevent severe outcomes and how to get those measures to the people who need them most.
A central deliverable of this work is high-quality data that can be used to prioritize public health interventions. The announcement makes clear that the expected impact is not limited to South Africa alone; findings are intended to inform decision-making in South Africa, across the region, and potentially at a global level. That can include evidence to support targeting of vaccination campaigns, antiviral use policies, non-pharmaceutical interventions in specific settings, or other strategies that mitigate morbidity and mortality. The overall goal is to translate surveillance and research results into actionable public health guidance, especially for high-risk populations.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity offered through a cooperative agreement. The relevant CFDA numbers are 93.083 and 93.326. The posting lists an award ceiling of $2,500,000, with an expectation of a single award, indicating that the funding is designed for one major collaboration rather than multiple smaller grants. The opportunity was created on 2023-12-22, and the original closing date was 2024-03-07.Apply for RFA IP 24 017
