Description
The CDC Global Health Center’s cooperative agreement program supports global polio eradication, measles and rubella elimination, and vaccination during public health emergencies. It funds improvements in routine and supplementary immunization, vaccine-preventable disease surveillance, and outbreak response, while emphasizing sustainable programs and innovation. The program aims to reduce illness, disability, death, and the risk of disease importation into the United States. It may also support other global health priorities aligned with CDC goals.
The opportunity has two components: global, regional, and national immunization capacity building; and support for Pakistan’s National Stop Transmission of Polio Program (NSTOP) and other vaccine-preventable disease programming. It prioritizes populations at greatest risk and hard-to-reach communities experiencing recurring outbreaks, including areas affected by geographic barriers or insecurity.
