Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA GH 19 005
The grant opportunity titled "Advancing Public Health Research in Bangladesh" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA GH 19 005) is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) funding announcement designed to strengthen Bangladesh's ability to detect, prevent, and respond to disease threats through rigorous public health research and surveillance. It is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expects substantial involvement in the work through technical collaboration, coordination, and shared oversight rather than simply issuing a standalone grant with minimal federal engagement. The program falls under the Health funding activity category (CFDA 93.326) and supports research intended to generate actionable evidence that can be translated into real-world public health decisions.
At its core, the NOFO funds high-quality research and surveillance activities that directly support the Government of Bangladesh and relevant partners. The types of projects described are broad and flexible, allowing applicants to propose quantitative studies, qualitative studies, mixed-methods epidemiological research, laboratory-based investigations, and other research approaches suited to priority public health questions. The research focus areas are clearly framed around three major aims: characterizing priority diseases in Bangladesh (for example, improving understanding of disease burden, distribution, risk factors, transmission dynamics, or pathogen characteristics), determining the most effective implementation approaches and interventions (such as testing and comparing delivery strategies, program designs, or operational models that improve uptake and effectiveness), and measuring the impact of public health efforts (including evaluation of outcomes, effectiveness, and broader population-level effects of policies, programs, or outbreak response activities).
A central requirement is that funded work must be carried out in partnership with the Government of Bangladesh. The announcement also emphasizes that projects should include clear mechanisms for advancing public health policy and practice, not only within Bangladesh but potentially at local, national, regional, and global levels. In practical terms, this signals that applicants are expected to plan for how findings will be used, such as through formal coordination structures, joint interpretation of results, dissemination plans tailored to decision-makers, and pathways for incorporating evidence into guidelines, programs, or surveillance systems. The emphasis is not just on producing academic outputs, but on delivering results that can improve public health action and strengthen preparedness and response capacity.
In terms of award structure and scale, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $4,000,000 and anticipates making one award. The funding opportunity was created on December 21, 2018, with an original application closing date of February 21, 2019, and electronically submitted applications were required by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Eligibility is listed as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full eligibility text, indicating that applicants would need to consult the complete announcement for the precise list of eligible organization types and any partnership or registration requirements. Overall, the NOFO is aimed at supporting a single, substantial collaborative effort that can generate high-value evidence and surveillance improvements aligned with Bangladesh's priority health threats and public health decision-making needs.Apply for RFA GH 19 005
