Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA GH 21 005
The "Conducting Public Health Research in Ethiopia" funding opportunity (RFA GH 21 005) is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement designed to support applied public health research carried out in Ethiopia. The emphasis is on producing practical evidence that helps the public health system respond more effectively to threats, improves how health programs are implemented, measures real-world program impact, and strengthens understanding of major health risks affecting the country. The opportunity explicitly allows human subjects research, which signals that the CDC expects some projects to involve field studies, surveys, clinical or community data collection, or evaluations that directly include people, provided ethical and regulatory requirements are met.
The scope covers both communicable and non-communicable diseases, but it sets clear boundaries on what topics are considered responsive. For communicable disease proposals, the work must focus on Ethiopia's notifiable public health diseases, the country's priority zoonotic diseases (diseases that can spread between animals and humans), or an emerging pathogen with outbreak potential. In other words, projects need to connect directly to the diseases and pathogens that Ethiopia monitors as part of its official public health surveillance and outbreak preparedness priorities, rather than addressing communicable disease issues in a general or global sense. For non-communicable disease proposals, the focus is narrowed to major chronic disease categories that drive illness and death: cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic respiratory disease, and diabetes. Projects can also address the shared risk factors and determinants that influence these conditions, including drivers both inside the health sector (such as screening systems, treatment access, and quality of care) and outside the health sector (such as environmental exposures, diet, tobacco, physical activity, and social or economic conditions).
The types of studies encouraged are practical and impact-oriented. Proposed projects may quantify the burden of specific diseases, identify or test ways to reduce risk and prevent illness, or evaluate how well interventions and public health systems work in real settings. Applicants can propose to measure and compare the impact of interventions or health system approaches, including implementation strategies that improve uptake, coverage, quality, or equity. The CDC also highlights cost-effectiveness as an eligible and valued component, meaning projects can examine not only whether an approach works, but whether it is a good use of resources relative to alternatives. Another key theme is translation: the research should help turn public health data into usable prevention practices, policies, tools, or products that can meaningfully reduce illness and death, rather than stopping at publication alone.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically means the CDC expects substantial programmatic involvement during the project period (for example, collaboration on technical direction, monitoring, and use of findings). The awarding agency is the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), CDC (ERA). The CFDA number listed is 93.326. The expected number of awards is five, with an award ceiling of $250,000. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, certain nonprofit entities that do not have 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The notice was created on November 12, 2020, and the original application closing date was February 19, 2021, with electronic submissions due by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline date.
Overall, the opportunity is aimed at generating Ethiopia-specific evidence that directly informs public health decision-making, strengthens outbreak and threat response, improves program performance, and supports scalable prevention and control strategies for priority infectious threats and high-burden chronic diseases.Apply for RFA GH 21 005
