Description
This cooperative agreement from the CDC National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID) is designed to strengthen the nation's ability to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease threats. The program funds organizations that support clinicians, healthcare professionals, systems, and public health entities in infectious disease control across the United States. Activities focus on building critical infrastructure, workforce training, communication strategies, and surge/emergency response capabilities, with a particular emphasis on infection prevention, antimicrobial resistance, and coordinated response during public health emergencies.
Applicants must propose projects that address at least two of the four program components:
- Programmatic Infrastructure and Capacity (required)
- Emerging and Re-emerging Pathogens
- Antimicrobial Resistance and Healthcare-Associated Infections
- Outbreak and Emergency Response
The program aims to expand national infection prevention capacity, foster effective frontline engagement, and generate expert insights to inform public health guidance and practice.
