Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA GH 19 009
The grant opportunity "Advancing Infectious Disease Detection and Response in Viet Nam" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA GH 19 009) is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of Health and Human Services cooperative agreement designed to strengthen Viet Nam's ability to detect, investigate, and respond to infectious disease threats. The core focus is on running and tracking a portfolio of epidemiologic, clinical, and laboratory-based projects that generate actionable evidence for public health decision-making. Rather than supporting research for its own sake, the opportunity emphasizes work that directly improves surveillance systems, strengthens outbreak detection and response, and feeds findings into real-world prevention and control programs.
The scope is intentionally broad and geared toward the infectious disease challenges most relevant to Viet Nam and the surrounding region. Priority areas explicitly include acute febrile illness; antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and hospital-acquired infections; respiratory infections including influenza; enteric illnesses; and other public health threats. In addition, the notice highlights several further research and surveillance domains that are often linked to emerging risk in Southeast Asia: emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, zoonotic diseases, vector-borne diseases, and environmental health factors that influence infectious disease transmission (with examples such as water and air). It also calls out vaccine-preventable diseases, along with biosafety and biosecurity, indicating an interest in both preventing outbreaks and ensuring safe, secure handling of infectious agents and related laboratory practices.
A key theme is translation of results into practice. The cooperative agreement is structured to ensure that surveillance and research outputs are incorporated into operational disease detection, prevention, response, or control programs within Viet Nam. That can include improving case definitions and testing strategies, refining reporting and data systems, strengthening clinical and laboratory protocols, informing infection prevention and control practices in healthcare settings, guiding antimicrobial stewardship approaches, or improving how investigations are triggered and managed. Beyond national impact, the program also expects dissemination of findings across the region and globally, including sharing with partners, which points to publication, presentations, regional technical exchanges, and contribution to broader networks for infectious disease intelligence.
Workforce development is another central objective. The opportunity specifically mentions strengthening local workforce capacity, which typically means building sustainable skills and systems in epidemiology, laboratory science, surveillance operations, data analysis, biosafety, and outbreak response. The intent is to leave behind stronger local capability that can continue after the project period, not just short-term outputs. In practice, this often involves mentorship models, on-the-job training, development of standard operating procedures, and integration with national institutions and public health programs.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary health award under a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning the CDC expects substantial involvement during implementation (for example, technical collaboration, joint planning, or ongoing monitoring). The opportunity lists a ceiling of up to USD 1,000,000 and anticipates a single award. The CFDA number is 93.326. Applications were due February 21, 2019, with electronic submission required by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Eligibility is listed as "Others (see additional information)," indicating that applicants needed to consult the full eligibility language in the original announcement to confirm whether they qualified (often relevant for universities, nonprofits, research institutions, or other organizations working in partnership with Vietnamese counterparts).
Overall, the grant is aimed at building a stronger, more connected infectious disease detection and response ecosystem in Viet Nam by combining applied research, surveillance strengthening, laboratory and clinical projects, and workforce development, with a clear expectation that findings will be operationalized and shared beyond national borders to support regional and global health security.Apply for RFA GH 19 009
