Advancing Outbreak Detection, Notification, and Response Capacity by Implementing 7-1-7 in Partner Countries

Request Ticket // Limit: 1 // Tickets Available: 1 

Limiting Language 
Under this NOFO, you may submit only one application under your organization’s UEI.

Summary 
This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) supports strengthening country systems to detect, notify, and respond to outbreaks by applying time-bound, evidence-based frameworks, such as the 7-1-7 target, which aims to detect outbreaks within 7 days, notify within 1 day, and respond within 7 days. This target was selected to promote rapid containment and minimize health and economic impacts. 

Activities under this award will be conducted outside the United States and its territories. Building on previous outbreak experience and other international health emergencies, this NOFO advances American interests by reinforcing systems that protect both the United States and recipient nations. 

Activities focus on improving early detection of biological threats, timely notification across sectors and borders, and effective response to contain outbreaks before they spread, consistent with the Detect, Notify, Respond (D- N-R) framework. Efforts include strengthening surveillance, expanding laboratory readiness, enhancing information flows, and improving response operations to reduce economic effects and improve health. These activities emphasize burden sharing, accountability, and efficiency to ensure benefits to Americans at home and abroad, while helping recipient nations achieve long-term self-reliance and stability.

Great Health for America

No Applicants // Limit: 1 // Tickets Available: 1

Limiting Language
Under this NOFO, you may submit only one application for one program site (Lake County, Indiana; Sandusky and Toledo metro area, Ohio; Brownsville, Texas; Petersburg, Virginia) under your organization’s Unique Entity Identifier (UEI).

Summary
In collaboration with U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), state and federally funded programs, you will implement a project focused on reducing chronic disease rates within a defined geographic area within four communities: Lake County, Indiana; Sandusky and Toledo metro area, Ohio; Brownsville, Texas; Petersburg, Virginia. The goal is to demonstrate how individual and system- level interventions can encourage healthier habits and choices that can reduce the burden of chronic disease in children. When these lifestyle and community changes are maintained over time, reductions in the burden of chronic diseases among adults in the United States may eventually result. Findings from these demonstration programs will inform the potential replication of successful interventions in additional communities. 

Additionally, HHS will use findings from this demonstration project to inform future approaches to funding and measuring effects of novel efforts to improve health for individuals and communities.

Reducing the burden of parasitic infections in the United States through evidence-based prevention and control activities

Request Ticket // Limit: 1 // Tickets Available: 1

Limiting Language 
Under this NOFO, you may submit only one application under your organization’s Unique Entity Identifier (UEI).

Summary 
The purpose of this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to decrease the impact of specific parasitic infections in the U.S. with public health practices and disease control strategies. The NOFO focuses on three parasitic infection areas: 
• Chagas disease.
• Soil-transmitted helminths. 
• Other parasitic diseases of domestic concern in the U.S. 

This NOFO will continue CDC’s Parasitic Disease Branch work to help healthcare providers (HCPs) better understand, detect, treat, and prevent parasitic infections. Improved understanding and management of parasitic diseases in the U.S. will help make Americans stronger, safer, and more prosperous. There are three components of this NOFO. You may apply for only one: 
• Component A will improve HCPs’ knowledge and practices. Increase testing and management of people with or at risk of Chagas disease. Expand the use of best practices, training tools, and materials. 
• Component B will strengthen public health efforts to monitor and control soil-transmitted helminth infections (like hookworm). It focuses on areas in the Southeastern U.S. (as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau) that are historically affected. 
• Component C will target the prevention, control, health education, and, where applicable, elimination of other parasitic diseases in the U.S. Diseases include cyclosporiasis, cysticercosis, echinococcosis, leishmaniasis, lymphatic filariasis, and toxoplasmosis.

We will not accept proposals focused on malaria, amoebiasis,cryptosporidiosis, giardiasis, or any international activities. Your strategies should aim for significant public health benefits and reach a large portion of at-risk populations.
