Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH15 161803CONT17
The grant opportunity titled "Noncommunicable Disease Prevention and Health Promotion in the Region of the Americas, PAHO Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention" is a continuation funding announcement from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically within CDC's Center for Global Health (CGH). Its focus is on supporting ongoing work to prevent and reduce the burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and to strengthen health promotion efforts across countries in the Region of the Americas, in partnership with or aligned to the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). The opportunity is not a new, open competition; it is explicitly structured to continue previously funded activities rather than launch new projects or bring in new organizations.
This announcement is identified by Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH15 161803CONT17 and is categorized as a "Continuation" opportunity. That designation is important because it means eligibility is restricted: only grantees that were already awarded under the earlier CDC announcement CDC-RFA-GH15-1618 (Noncommunicable Disease Prevention and Health Promotion in the Region of the Americas) are intended to receive these funds. In other words, it functions as an extension or continued support for an established cohort of recipients that were selected under the original program, allowing them to maintain momentum, meet program objectives, and continue implementation and collaboration without interruption. The listing’s eligible applicants field is labeled "Others," but the narrative clarifies that the practical eligibility is limited to prior awardees under the referenced funding opportunity.
The funding instrument type is a Cooperative Agreement. In U.S. federal grantmaking, a cooperative agreement typically indicates substantial programmatic involvement by the funding agency compared to a standard grant. For recipients, this often means CDC expects active collaboration, shared planning, technical input, performance monitoring, and coordination to ensure the work aligns with federal public health priorities and the program’s objectives. While the short listing does not spell out specific activities, the title and program area point to NCD prevention and health promotion efforts, which commonly include strengthening policies and systems related to conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, chronic respiratory disease, and their shared risk factors (for example tobacco use, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, and harmful use of alcohol). Health promotion elements typically involve population-level strategies, communication, community or institutional interventions, and support for healthier environments, though the precise scope would be dictated by the original award’s workplan and continuation requirements.
Administratively, the program falls under the Health funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 93.318, a catalog identifier used for federal assistance programs. The announcement was created on 2017-03-21 and had an original closing date of 2017-05-22, reflecting the time window for continuation-related submission actions by existing awardees (such as progress reports, continuation applications, budgets, and updated workplans). The listing indicates an expected number of awards of 10, suggesting CDC anticipated continuing support for roughly ten existing recipients from the original cohort. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which in many grant listings signals that a single uniform cap is not being provided in the synopsis and that actual award amounts are determined based on previously established budgets, continuation availability, and programmatic needs rather than a published maximum for new applicants.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a maintenance and continuation mechanism for an existing CDC-supported regional NCD prevention and health promotion initiative connected to PAHO and the Americas region. It is designed to sustain and advance ongoing work by prior grantees through a cooperative agreement structure, with CDC maintaining an active role in oversight and collaboration, and with the continuation process occurring within the 2017 administrative timeline provided in the listing.Apply for CDC RFA GH15 161803CONT17
