The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is seeking applications for funding for enhancing Global Health Security: Expanding Efforts and Strategies to Protect and Improve Public Health in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

The U.S. Government’s (USG) Global Health Security (GHS) envisions a world safe and secure from global health threats posed by infectious diseases, where it is possible to prevent or mitigate the impact of naturally occurring outbreaks and intentional or accidental releases of dangerous pathogens, rapidly detect and transparently report outbreaks when they occur, and employ an interconnected global network that can respond effectively to limit the spread of infectious disease outbreaks in humans and animals, mitigate human suffering and the loss of human life, and reduce economic impact.

After five years of implementing and strengthening global health security systems, the USG will continue to advance prevent, detect, and respond strategies to mitigate threats. This NOFO’s main outcomes are to:

Improve prevention of avoidable epidemics including naturally occurring outbreaks and intentional or accidental releases of dangerous pathogens
Improve ability to rapidly detect threats early, including detecting, characterizing, and reporting emerging biological threats
Improve capacity of rapidly and effectively responding to infectious diseases and public health threats of international concern
