Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA GH 19 001
The grant opportunity titled "Advancing Zoonotic Disease Detection through a One Health Approach in Ethiopia" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA GH 19 001) is a CDC-led cooperative agreement designed to support high-quality public health research focused on zoonotic diseases in Ethiopia. It sits within the broader One Health framework, meaning applicants are expected to address disease risks at the human, animal, and environmental interface rather than treating these sectors in isolation. The intent is not only to generate research findings, but to produce practical, operationally useful evidence that can be translated into stronger disease detection and response systems in-country.
At its core, the opportunity funds epidemiological research that can be quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods, allowing projects to range from statistical analyses and surveillance evaluations to field-based investigations and stakeholder-informed implementation research. Supported activities can include epidemiologic, clinical, and laboratory-based surveillance or research efforts aimed at priority zoonotic diseases affecting Ethiopia. A key emphasis is on conducting and monitoring these activities in ways that strengthen real-world public health practice, such as improving how cases are detected, how outbreaks are investigated, and how laboratory confirmation and reporting are integrated across sectors.
A major requirement is that proposed projects clearly describe how results from multisectoral One Health work and zoonotic disease operational research will be incorporated into existing or new disease detection, prevention, control, and response programs in Ethiopia. In other words, the research should be positioned to influence policy, programming, or system design, not just produce publications. This typically implies close coordination among public health, veterinary, wildlife, agricultural, and environmental actors, with pathways for turning study findings into updated surveillance strategies, improved interagency coordination, refined case definitions or reporting workflows, and better-targeted interventions.
The NOFO also prioritizes strengthening local workforce capacity. Applicants are expected to build skills and systems within Ethiopia, which can include training and mentoring in epidemiology, surveillance methods, laboratory techniques, biosafety practices, data management, and One Health coordination. Beyond capacity building, the grant stresses dissemination of findings across the region, with partners, and globally, signaling that projects should plan for communication products and knowledge sharing that reach national stakeholders as well as the broader public health community.
In addition to core zoonotic disease surveillance and research, the opportunity explicitly notes interest in emerging infectious diseases, including zoonotic and vector-borne diseases, as well as vaccine-preventable zoonotic diseases in animals. It also highlights biosafety and biosecurity and other locally important public health threats, giving applicants flexibility to address cross-cutting risks that affect safe laboratory operations and overall preparedness. This broad scope supports projects that tackle both specific pathogen priorities and the enabling systems that make detection and response possible.
Administratively, the award is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, indicating substantial involvement and collaboration with CDC during project implementation rather than a hands-off grant model. The total award ceiling is listed as $1,000,000, with one expected award. The opportunity is administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CFDA 93.326). The original posting dates indicate it was created on January 15, 2019, with an original closing date of March 15, 2019, and electronically submitted applications due by 5:00 p.m. ET on the deadline.
