Strengthening Infection Control and Prevention in Health care Facilities | CDC RFA GH11 114405CONT16

Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH11 114405CONT16

The grant opportunity titled "Strengthening Infection Control and Prevention in Health care Facilities" is a continuation funding announcement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) designed to extend ongoing work focused on improving infection control and prevention practices in health care settings. It is not a new, open competition; instead, it is intended only for organizations that were previously funded under the earlier CDC announcement CDC-RFA-GH11-1144, which supported efforts to strengthen infection prevention and control capacity within health care facilities. In practical terms, the purpose of this continuation is to maintain momentum and sustain previously funded activities that reduce health care-associated infections, improve patient and worker safety, and strengthen facility-level systems for preventing transmission of infectious diseases.

This opportunity is issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning the CDC is expected to have substantial involvement in the funded work beyond simply providing money. Cooperative agreements typically involve ongoing technical collaboration, performance monitoring, and joint problem-solving between the awardee and CDC staff. The activity category is health, and the associated CFDA number is 93.067, which is commonly used for CDC global health and related public health assistance programs. While the posting lists an award ceiling of 0 and does not specify the number of expected awards, that presentation is common for continuation actions where funding levels and award counts are determined by prior-year agreements, budget availability, and satisfactory performance rather than a new competitive selection process.

Eligibility is limited in a very specific way. Although the general field may appear as "Others," the description makes clear that only existing grantees from the prior funding opportunity are eligible to receive these continuation funds. That restriction is the central feature of this notice: it exists to extend previously awarded projects rather than invite new applicants. The original closing date shown is November 30, 2015, and the opportunity record was created on September 30, 2015, which places it in a timeframe where recipients would be finalizing continuation paperwork, work plans, and budgets consistent with their established project objectives.

Overall, the opportunity supports continued implementation and refinement of infection prevention and control activities in health care facilities, likely including strengthening policies and procedures, improving compliance with standard precautions, enhancing surveillance and reporting where applicable, building staff training and competency programs, and reinforcing administrative and clinical systems that prevent outbreaks and limit transmission. Because it is a continuation mechanism, applicants would generally be expected to demonstrate progress to date, outline the next phase of work, and align planned activities with the goals and measurable outcomes established under the original award.
