Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA GH 19 006
The grant opportunity "Advancing Infectious Disease Detection and Response in Indonesia" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA GH 19 006) is a CDC cooperative agreement aimed at supporting high-quality public health research that directly strengthens how Indonesia detects, prevents, and responds to infectious disease threats. It is designed for projects that generate practical, usable evidence rather than research that sits on a shelf. Applicants are expected to propose epidemiological studies that can be quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods, and that connect field epidemiology with clinical and laboratory work, surveillance, and applied research focused on diseases and syndromes that matter for public health decision-making in Indonesia.
The scope is intentionally broad to allow researchers to target major and emerging priorities. Examples of highlighted areas include acute febrile illness (which often involves difficult-to-distinguish causes such as dengue, typhoid, leptospirosis, malaria, or other infections), antimicrobial resistance and hospital-acquired infections, respiratory infections including influenza, and enteric illnesses that contribute to outbreaks and ongoing disease burden. Beyond these, the NOFO also explicitly encourages work on emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, zoonotic and vector-borne diseases, and environmental health factors that influence infectious disease transmission (such as water and air quality). It also welcomes research on vaccine-preventable diseases, biosafety and biosecurity, and other locally important public health threats, signaling that projects can be tailored to Indonesia's evolving risk landscape and operational needs.
A key expectation is that proposed research does more than measure problems; it should have a clear plan for translating findings into improved public health operations. This means applicants should spell out how results will feed into real-world disease detection, surveillance improvements, prevention strategies, outbreak response practices, or control programs. The NOFO also places strong emphasis on strengthening local workforce capacity, suggesting that training, mentoring, and sustained skill-building for Indonesian public health professionals should be built into project design rather than treated as an afterthought. Dissemination is another core requirement: findings should be shared not only within Indonesia but also across the region, with partner organizations, and globally, supporting broader learning and coordinated health security efforts.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), offered through a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically implies substantial CDC involvement during implementation (for example, technical collaboration and ongoing coordination). The CFDA number listed is 93.326. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an award ceiling of $1,000,000. The posting indicates it was created on December 21, 2018, with an original application closing date of February 21, 2019, and required electronic submission by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. Eligibility is listed as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced as being provided in the full announcement text.Apply for RFA GH 19 006
