Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA GH 19 002
The grant opportunity titled "Advancing Zoonotic Disease Detection through a One Health Approach in Thailand" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA GH 19 002) is a CDC cooperative agreement focused on improving how Thailand detects, studies, and responds to zoonotic diseases, meaning diseases that can spread between animals and people. The core idea is a One Health approach, which treats human health, animal health, and environmental conditions as interconnected parts of the same system. Rather than running separate efforts in separate sectors, this opportunity emphasizes coordinated work at the human-animal-environment interface, where many high-impact outbreaks begin or accelerate.
The program is designed to support a mix of epidemiologic, clinical, and laboratory-based activities, including surveillance and applied research on priority zoonotic diseases in Thailand. In practical terms, this means funding efforts that can identify and track infections in people and animals, characterize outbreaks and transmission patterns, and strengthen laboratory confirmation and pathogen characterization. The activities are not limited to one narrow disease area; they can cover multiple priority threats that matter locally in Thailand and also have broader regional or global implications.
A major emphasis is operational research that produces findings that can be used immediately by public health and animal health programs. The grant is not just about generating data or publishing studies; it specifically calls for incorporating results into new or existing disease detection, prevention, control, and response programs in Thailand. That includes translating research findings into improved surveillance systems, better outbreak response procedures, enhanced risk communication, and stronger coordination across ministries and technical partners. The One Health framing also implies that projects should be built to work across sectors, such as public health agencies, veterinary authorities, wildlife or livestock systems, and environmental or ecological stakeholders where relevant.
The scope also explicitly extends to emerging infectious diseases beyond a short list, including zoonotic and vector-borne diseases. It additionally highlights vaccine-preventable zoonotic diseases in animals, which points to work that may involve animal vaccination strategies, evaluation of vaccine coverage or effectiveness, and understanding animal reservoirs that contribute to human risk. Another stated area is biosafety and security, indicating that funded work can include strengthening safe laboratory practices, secure handling of dangerous pathogens, and systems that reduce the risk of accidental release or misuse, alongside broader public health threats with both local and global importance.
Capacity building is a central deliverable. The opportunity calls for strengthening local workforce capacity in Thailand, meaning training and mentorship for professionals working in epidemiology, laboratory science, surveillance, and One Health coordination. It also underscores dissemination of findings across the region and globally, suggesting that results should be shared not only within Thailand but also with regional partners and international networks, supporting collective preparedness and faster recognition of cross-border health threats.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning the CDC is expected to have substantial involvement during the project period compared with a typical grant. The awarding agency is the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CFDA number is 93.326. The posted award ceiling is USD 5,000,000, with an expectation of one award, indicating a single, relatively large program rather than multiple smaller awards. The opportunity was created on December 21, 2018, with an original closing date of February 21, 2019, and electronic applications were due by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline date.
