Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH18 1820
This grant opportunity, titled "Strengthening Public Health Laboratory, Workforce Development, and Health Systems Research Capacity of the Cambodian National Institute of Public Health under the GHSA and PEPFAR," is a CDC-funded cooperative agreement designed to continue building the Cambodian National Institute of Public Health (NIPH) as the country s lead institution for public health laboratory reference services, health systems research, and training of the public health workforce. The overall intent is to strengthen Cambodia s ability to prevent, detect, and respond to health threats while improving HIV outcomes, aligning the work with the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA), the U.S. President s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), and core capacities under the International Health Regulations (IHR).
A central focus of the opportunity is reinforcing NIPH s national reference laboratory function through sustained quality management systems and internationally recognized standards. A key expected outcome is that the National Institute of Public Health Laboratory (NIPHL) achieves and then maintains ISO accreditation, which signals that laboratory processes, testing accuracy, documentation, and quality controls meet rigorous international requirements. In practical terms, this means better reliability of test results, stronger confidence in surveillance data, and improved readiness to support outbreak investigations and routine public health testing, all of which are foundational to IHR compliance and broader health security goals.
The opportunity also emphasizes strengthening Cambodia s capacity to evaluate and improve HIV programming using country-owned and country-led approaches. One of the stated outcomes is the completion of evaluations of HIV/AIDS implementation that are led by Cambodian stakeholders, with findings actively used to refine and improve program design and delivery. This supports Cambodia s HIV targets, including sustaining progress toward the 90/90/90 goals (diagnosis, treatment, and viral suppression) and moving toward the longer-term objective of virtually eliminating new HIV infections (fewer than 300 new infections per year) by 2025. By prioritizing evaluation and use of evidence, the grant aims to make HIV investments more effective, better targeted, and more sustainable.
Another major pillar is antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The NOFO calls for the development and strengthening of an AMR surveillance system, with an expectation that surveillance results are used to improve programming. This typically involves strengthening laboratory testing for resistant pathogens, improving data systems and reporting, and ensuring surveillance information can guide treatment guidelines, infection prevention efforts, and policy decisions. Because AMR is both a national and global threat, building this capability also directly supports GHSA priorities around detection and response and strengthens the overall public health system beyond HIV.
Workforce development and health systems research capacity are woven throughout the opportunity. NIPH is positioned not just as a laboratory, but as a national leader for training and professional development in public health, and as a hub for generating evidence on how Cambodia s health system is performing. The grant is structured to reinforce those roles so Cambodia can rely more on domestic expertise for surveillance, evaluation, laboratory management, and evidence-based decision-making, rather than depending heavily on external technical support.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), under the Center for Global Health (CGH), offered as a cooperative agreement (meaning CDC is expected to have substantial involvement in the work, such as technical guidance and collaboration). The funding opportunity number is CDC RFA GH18 1820, and it falls under CFDA 93.067. The award ceiling is listed as $650,000, with one award expected, reflecting that this is essentially a targeted investment intended for a single implementing institution rather than a broad competitive field. Eligibility is restricted to the Cambodia National Institute of Public Health (NIPH), indicating the funding is specifically meant to support and institutionalize NIPH s national mandates and responsibilities. The original closing date for applications was 2017-10-16, and the notice was created on 2017-08-16.Apply for CDC RFA GH18 1820
