Surveillance and Response to Avian and Pandemic Influenza by National Health Authorities outside the United States

ID: CDC-RFA-IP21-2101 • Type: Posted

Description

This notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) continues work initiated under influenza cooperative agreements IP16-1603, IP16-1605, IP19-1902 and previous awards from years 2004 - 2015. These agreements were developed to enhance the ability and capacity of foreign governments to conduct surveillance for seasonal influenza and to detect and respond to pandemic influenza threats. The proposed NOFO complements current global pandemic preparedness work and seeks to further strengthen the capacity of national health authorities and partners to detect and respond to influenza outbreaks and on a broader scale to respond to respiratory pathogen outbreaks utilizing as needed the influenza surveillance systems as a surveillance base.
Background
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been working with public health partners around the world for the last 16 years to support and help establish or enhance countries’ capacity to maintain virologic and epidemiologic influenza surveillance systems. This work aligns with the Health and Human Services (HHS) Pandemic Influenza Operational Plan, the President’s National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza, the principles of the International Partnership on Avian and Pandemic Influenza, and the International Health Regulations (IHR) (2005) Joint External Evaluation Process (JEE). The proposed NOFO seeks to strengthen the capacity of national health authorities and partners to detect and respond more broadly to respiratory pathogen outbreaks utilizing systems developed to support surveillance for influenza.

Grant Details
The NOFO will support recipients to improve or maintain capacity to conduct routine influenza surveillance, detect and respond to pandemic influenza, ensure capacity to respond to highly pathogenic viruses transmissible among humans, including epidemiologic and virologic detection, strengthen connections between national institutions, especially National Influenza Centers (NIC), fully participate in the WHO Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System (GISRS), maintain capacity to share specimens, clinical and epidemiologic data related to influenza circulation, monitor highly pathogenic viruses and bacteria transmissible to humans, identify outbreaks of severe respiratory illness syndromes, and support monitoring highly pathogenic viruses transmissible to humans. The NOFO has three components:
