Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH15 159202CONT16
This funding opportunity, titled "Strengthening Uganda Ministry of Health Capacity to execute its essential public health Function (Public Health Workforce Development)," is a continuation grant from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It is designed specifically to continue supporting work already underway to strengthen the Uganda Ministry of Health's ability to carry out essential public health functions, with a clear emphasis on public health workforce development. In practical terms, the opportunity is meant to sustain and deepen existing investments in the people, skills, systems, and institutional structures that allow a national health ministry to prevent, detect, and respond to public health threats more effectively.
The opportunity is issued as a Cooperative Agreement, which usually means CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds. Under this kind of arrangement, the recipient typically works closely with CDC on planning, technical direction, performance monitoring, and implementation support. The activity category is listed as Health, and the associated CFDA number is 93.067, which corresponds to CDC global health-related assistance. The opportunity category is explicitly marked as a continuation, signaling that this is not a new, open competition aimed at attracting new applicants, but rather an extension of a previously funded project.
Eligibility is limited to organizations that were already awarded funding under the earlier related announcement, CDC-RFA-GH15-1592, which carried the same program title. The notice states that funds are intended only for those previously awarded grantees, meaning new organizations should not expect to compete for or receive this award. While the eligible applicants field is listed broadly as "Others," the narrative restriction to prior awardees is the key eligibility condition and effectively narrows the pool to existing recipients.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity references an original closing date of December 8, 2015, and a creation date of October 7, 2015, which aligns with the continuation nature of the award and the connection to the earlier funding cycle. The award ceiling is shown as 0, and the expected number of awards is not specified, which commonly indicates that the funding amount and number of continuation awards are determined by programmatic decisions, the availability of funds, and satisfactory performance of the current grantees rather than a standard competitive ceiling-based structure.
Overall, the grant is best understood as a mechanism for CDC to keep an existing public health workforce development initiative moving forward in Uganda. The goal is to maintain momentum in building the Ministry of Health's capacity to deliver core public health services, which typically includes improving workforce competencies, strengthening training and mentorship systems, reinforcing public health leadership and management capacity, and supporting the organizational capabilities needed to execute essential public health functions consistently and at scale.Apply for CDC RFA GH15 159202CONT16

No. The notice indicates the funds are intended only for previously awarded grantees under CDC-RFA-GH15-1592, so new organizations should not expect to compete for or receive this continuation award.
Why does the eligible applicants field say "Others" if eligibility is restricted?
While the eligible applicants field is listed broadly as "Others," the narrative restriction is the controlling condition: only prior awardees under the specified earlier announcement are intended recipients.
