Sustaining Global Health Security to protect and improve public health in KenyaThe U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is seeking proposals under Solicitation Number CDC-RFA-JG-26-0055 to sustain and enhance global health security efforts in Kenya, building on more than forty years of partnership with the Government of Kenya. This initiative continues the United States Government’s role as the largest investor in Kenya’s health sector, expanding on established programs under PEPFAR, Global Health Security, Malaria, TB, Immunizations, and Influenza. The focus is on strengthening public health systems to prevent, detect, and respond to both naturally occurring and intentional public health threats, with four core objectives: reducing avoidable epidemics, improving early detection and characterization of biological threats, enabling rapid and effective responses to international health emergencies, and advancing implementation science to optimize health outcomes through evidence-based practices. The funding opportunity is open to applicants responding by August 14, 2026, and is administered by the CDC’s Global Health Center under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Proposals are expected to align with U.S. global health priorities and demonstrate a clear strategy for sustaining the progress made over the past five years of health security capacity building in Kenya. While no specific set-aside or NAICS code is identified, the effort emphasizes collaboration with local institutions, scalable solutions, and long-term system resilience. All inquiries should be directed to the designated CDC point of contact via email or phone, with further details available through the Grants.gov portal.

Strengthening Global Health Security by improving public health capacity to detect, notify, and respond to disease outbreaks globallyThis funding opportunity aims to strengthen global health security by enhancing the capacity of countries to detect, notify, and respond to disease outbreaks through partnerships with Ministries of Health and other governmental institutions. Building on over a decade of work funded by the CDC, the initiative seeks to prevent avoidable epidemics—whether naturally occurring or intentional—and improve the early detection, characterization, and reporting of emerging biological threats while ensuring rapid and effective responses to public health emergencies of international concern. The program will be implemented over a five-year period from September 30, 2026, to September 30, 2031, with activities focused in specified countries across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and Central America, prioritizing multi-country or multi-regional approaches. Applicants must demonstrate strong organizational capacity, a clear and feasible approach aligned with CDC’s global health security strategy, and a robust evaluation and performance measurement plan, with awards determined through a competitive trade-off process that prioritizes technical merit over cost. The application requires submission of a comprehensive package including a project summary, 60-page narrative, budget narrative, and up to 90 pages of supporting attachments such as organizational charts, resumes, financial capability statements, and implementation plans, all formatted to strict guidelines including 12-point font, single-spaced text, and PDF format. An optional 10-point bonus is available for applicants partnering with locally registered organizations, and applicants must maintain an active UEI in SAM.gov throughout the award period. Funding is subject to annual appropriation with an estimated total range of $3 million to $53 million across all awards, though individual award amounts are not predetermined. Financial reporting must comply with 2 CFR 200 and the HHS Grants Policy Statement, and applicants must prove their ability to manage federal funds, with risk assessments conducted prior to award based on SAM.gov data. No FAR contract clauses apply, as this is a cooperative agreement under federal grant authority, not a procurement contract. All submissions must be made through Grants.gov by August 14, 2026, with no extensions permitted, and applications must be unencrypted and fully readable.

Strengthening public health efforts to protect and improve health in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)This solicitation, CDC-RFA-JG-26-0044, seeks to strengthen public health systems in the Democratic Republic of the Congo through a five-year cooperative agreement aimed at advancing global health security. The initiative focuses on three core outcomes: preventing avoidable epidemics from natural or intentional pathogen releases, enhancing early detection and characterization of emerging public health threats, and building rapid, effective response capacity to infectious diseases of international concern. Proposed activities must align with the International Health Regulations and Joint External Evaluation frameworks, integrate with the DRC’s Ministry of Health and other government institutions, and emphasize surveillance system strengthening, workforce development, emergency logistics, and data management. The funding structure includes a base component with a ceiling of $2.5 million for core activities and three additional approved but unfunded components with combined ceilings of up to $25 million, contingent on emergencies and future appropriations. The project period begins September 30, 2026, and extends through September 30, 2031, with annual budget cycles subject to performance review and funding availability. Applications must be submitted via Grants.gov by August 15, 2026, and adhere to strict formatting guidelines including a one-page project summary, a sixty-page narrative, and up to ninety pages of supporting attachments, all in English and U.S. dollars. Proposers are required to submit comprehensive documentation including resumes of key personnel, organizational charts, financial capability statements, indirect cost agreements, and a report on funding overlap, ensuring transparency and capacity. Evaluation is merit-based, weighted 40 points for background and approach, 35 points for evaluation and performance measurement plans, and 25 points for organizational capacity, with no cost or price consideration in the scoring. Critical special requirements include a cybersecurity plan to protect personally identifiable health data, adherence to CDC values to prevent organizational conflicts of interest, and active CDC oversight of personnel and subrecipient selection. The UEI through SAM.gov is mandatory for eligibility, though socioeconomic certifications are not required. Performance is measured against quantifiable indicators, and final reporting is due 120 days after the five-year period ends, with no option for physical delivery or FOB terms as the engagement is purely programmatic and service-oriented.

Strengthening global health security through local partnerships in UgandaThis contract aims to enhance Uganda’s ability to rapidly detect and respond to health threats by addressing critical gaps identified in the 2023 Joint External Evaluation of its global health security capacities. Efforts will focus on strengthening surveillance, laboratory systems, rapid response capabilities, and countermeasures for priority human and zoonotic diseases, aligning with Uganda’s National Action Plan for Health Security. The initiative will also promote multi-hazard, multi-sectoral preparedness and support the development of national legislation to enable functional, real-time funding mechanisms for health emergencies. A central component includes the establishment of a national border health program and the expansion of the National Integrated Surveillance System through a functional electronic platform that integrates data on surveillance, laboratory results, disease notifications, emergency responses, reporting, and workforce tracking for key diseases. The program emphasizes local partnerships to ensure sustainable, context-driven improvements in public health infrastructure and operations. It seeks to connect disparate systems into a unified platform that improves data flow and decision-making during health crises. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, under the Department of Health and Human Services, is issuing this solicitation to identify partners capable of delivering these objectives within Uganda. Interested parties must submit proposals by August 14, 2026, with inquiries directed to the designated CDC point of contact.
