DHQP Global NOFO

The DHQP Global NOFO is a forecast opportunity issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under the Department of Health and Human Services. This international hybrid initiative aims to integrate non-research implementation with targeted research to combat antimicrobial resistance and healthcare-associated infections. The program focuses on reducing mortality and economic impacts by strengthening detection, surveillance, prevention, and response systems across healthcare, community, and environmental settings within low and middle-income countries. The primary objectives of the funding opportunity are to stop the spread of antimicrobial resistance and protect both patients and healthcare workers. This will be achieved through the implementation of robust infection prevention and control measures and antimicrobial stewardship. The initiative leverages existing frameworks, such as the Global AR Laboratory and Response Network and various HAI surveillance networks, to address threats from bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens.
