Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA CK17 1707
The "CDC-Mexico Cooperative Agreement for Surveillance, Epidemiology, and Laboratory Capacity" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA CK17 1707) is a CDC discretionary funding opportunity structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the CDC anticipates having substantial involvement in planning, implementing, and monitoring the supported work rather than simply providing a pass-through grant. Administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases (NCEZID), this opportunity sits within CFDA 93.283 and focuses on strengthening the cross-border public health capacity needed to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease threats that affect both Mexico and the United States.
The central purpose of the award is to support CDC's broader strategy for addressing emerging infectious diseases of shared public health importance across the US-Mexico border. The opportunity emphasizes practical, complementary activities that help meet CDC-defined goals and objectives tied to binational health, especially in areas such as infectious disease surveillance, applied epidemiology, and laboratory capacity. By improving these core functions in Mexico in coordination with governmental public health institutions and academic partners, CDC also advances its own global health security priorities while helping both countries reduce the risk of outbreaks that can spread across borders.
A defining feature of this funding announcement is that it is intentionally limited to a single eligible applicant: the George E. Brown Foundation for U.S.-Mexico Collaborations in Sciences (FUMEC). The CDC states that FUMEC has already demonstrated effective performance as an intermediary working with Mexico's Ministry of Health under a prior cooperative agreement (CK11-1106), highlighting efficiency, transparency, and accountability as key reasons for continuing the relationship through this mechanism. In other words, the program is designed around an established implementation model where FUMEC helps facilitate coordination, management, and execution of activities with Mexican public health counterparts and relevant academic collaborators.
In practical terms, the work supported under this cooperative agreement is meant to strengthen key public health services that underpin prevention and control of infectious diseases, particularly those considered significant public health threats. While the announcement does not list a specific award ceiling (shown as 0, which often indicates the amount is not provided in the summary record), it indicates there will be one expected award, reinforcing that this is a targeted, single-recipient cooperative agreement rather than an open, competitive solicitation with multiple awards.
Key administrative details include an original closing date of April 13, 2017, and a creation date of February 13, 2017. Overall, the opportunity reflects CDC's intent to invest in sustained, structured collaboration with Mexico through a trusted intermediary to improve binational readiness and capability in surveillance, epidemiology, and laboratory systems for infectious disease prevention and response.Apply for CDC RFA CK17 1707
