Description
This opportunity aims to build and strengthen sustainable global capacity for fungal disease detection, diagnosis, surveillance, and response. Funded activities may include system and workforce development, laboratory and diagnostic capacity expansion, and improved data utilization for public health action. The overarching goal is to enhance country and regional capabilities to manage and control fungal diseases at their source, particularly those posing international spread or antifungal resistance risks. These efforts are aligned with the America First Global Health Strategy, intending to reduce the global burden of fungal diseases, strengthen health security, and protect both local and U.S. populations through earlier detection and more effective responses to fungal disease threats.
