Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA IP 20 001
This funding opportunity, titled "Epidemiology, Prevention, and Treatment of Influenza and Other Respiratory Infections in Panama and Other Countries in the Americas," is a discretionary CDC cooperative agreement intended to build and strengthen regional capacity to address influenza and other respiratory and emerging infectious disease threats. The central goal is to improve how Panama and other countries across the Americas detect and describe outbreaks and trends, and how they conduct applied studies that inform public health decision-making. In practical terms, the program is designed to support stronger surveillance and epidemiologic capabilities so health authorities can better understand disease spread and severity, identify new or changing threats, and generate the data needed for timely, evidence-based response.
A major emphasis of the notice is improving risk assessment for influenza and emerging or re-emerging infectious diseases of public health importance. That includes enhancing the ability to identify and characterize infections, monitor patterns over time, and interpret findings in ways that help public health leaders judge the level of risk to communities and healthcare systems. The opportunity also highlights the value of conducting studies that go beyond routine monitoring, such as investigations that clarify transmission dynamics, disease burden, severity indicators, and population-level impacts. By supporting this kind of work, the award aims to help countries move from simply recognizing that an outbreak is happening to understanding what it means and what actions are likely to be most effective.
Another core focus is the evaluation of interventions that could prevent or treat influenza and related respiratory infections. The notice explicitly calls out evaluating new diagnostics, vaccines, and other interventions, which signals support for projects that test or assess tools that improve detection, prevention, or clinical and public health management. This can include generating evidence on how well diagnostic approaches perform in real-world settings, how vaccine strategies could be optimized, or how other preventive and therapeutic measures might reduce illness, transmission, or complications. The overarching intent is to produce actionable findings that can improve policy and program decisions across the region, not just in one location.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, meaning the CDC anticipates substantial involvement with the recipient during the project period compared with a standard grant. Cooperative agreements commonly involve close technical collaboration, shared planning, and ongoing coordination with CDC subject matter experts, particularly for surveillance strengthening, protocol development, data standards, evaluation design, and dissemination of findings. This structure fits the stated purpose of strengthening capacity and conducting studies that align with public health priorities across multiple countries.
Administratively, the opportunity was released by the Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), under Funding Opportunity Number RFA IP 20 001, with a creation date of May 3, 2019. Applications were due by July 8, 2019, with electronic submissions required by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline date. The funding instrument type is listed as a cooperative agreement, and the activity category is health. The opportunity references CFDA numbers 93.083 and 93.185, which correspond to CDC assistance programs in related public health domains. The notice anticipated a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an award ceiling of $1,000,000, indicating one primary recipient would be funded to carry out the regional work described.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional clarification referenced in the full notice text. That phrasing typically indicates that eligibility may extend beyond standard categories like state or local governments and could include certain institutions, organizations, or other entities that meet the CDCs criteria as described in the complete eligibility section. Overall, the opportunity is structured to fund one major partner to help strengthen influenza and respiratory infectious disease epidemiology, surveillance, and applied research capacity in Panama and across the Americas, with the ultimate aim of improving preparedness, response, and the effectiveness of prevention and treatment strategies.Apply for RFA IP 20 001
