Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA GH 23 003

The funding opportunity titled "Conducting Public Health Research with Universities in Thailand" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA GH 23 003) is a discretionary grant announcement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), issued through ERA. It uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which generally means CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work (for example, technical collaboration, coordination, or shared responsibilities) rather than operating purely as a hands-off funder. The program sits within the health funding activity category (CFDA 93.326) and is aimed at supporting public health research that has clear global health value, with Thailand-based university research partnerships as the central platform.

At its core, the NOFO is designed to support innovative research conducted with research universities in Thailand, with an emphasis on infectious disease and outbreak-related challenges that can affect Thailand, the region, and global health security more broadly. The research focus is organized around three major public health goals: preventing infectious disease threats, detecting disease outbreaks, and investigating how well different intervention strategies work in real-world settings. In practical terms, this points to studies that can generate new evidence, methods, tools, or insights that strengthen prevention (reducing the likelihood of emergence or spread), improve detection (earlier recognition and characterization of outbreaks), and evaluate interventions (understanding which policies, programs, clinical measures, or public health actions are most effective and under what conditions).

The award structure indicates a maximum funding amount (award ceiling) of $400,000 per award, with approximately three awards expected. This suggests a small, competitive set of projects, likely intended to be focused and research-driven rather than broad, infrastructure-heavy programs. Because the ceiling is relatively modest for research funding, applicants would typically need to propose well-scoped studies with feasible objectives, strong study designs, and clear public health impact pathways, especially those that can be executed efficiently through established university research capacity and partnerships.

Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of U.S.-recognized entity types: state, county, city/township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3), excluding higher education institutions in those categories); federally recognized tribal governments and certain tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); small businesses; and other applicants as further clarified in the official eligibility text. Even though the opportunity emphasizes working with research universities in Thailand, the eligibility list signals that CDC is open to multiple types of lead applicants, as long as the proposed work effectively aligns with the Thailand university research collaboration emphasis and meets CDC and NOFO requirements.

Timing details show the NOFO was created on December 2, 2022, with an original closing date of March 13, 2023. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. While that deadline has passed, the summary still matters for understanding the type of projects CDC sought to fund under this program and what kinds of research priorities were emphasized during that cycle.

Overall, this NOFO can be understood as a targeted CDC investment in collaborative, Thailand-centered public health research with strong relevance to infectious disease prevention, outbreak detection, and evaluation of interventions. The intent is to produce actionable evidence that helps protect and improve health not only locally but also globally, especially by strengthening the knowledge base and capabilities needed to anticipate infectious threats, spot outbreaks earlier, and choose interventions that demonstrably work.
