CDC Notice of Funding Opportunity: Outbreak Response Network for Disease Forecasting

May 19, 2023 | NacchoVoice

CDC’s Center for Forecasting and Outbreak Analytics (CFA) is announcing a new notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) to establish an outbreak response network for disease forecasting to support decision makers during public health emergencies. This NOFO will enhance our national ability to control epidemics and pandemics by developing a network of innovators to design, prototype, test, and scale up disease forecasting and data modeling tools and technologies that can be used to support decision makers during public health emergencies.

Interested applicants must submit an LOI by midnight, June 14, 2023. The purpose of this letter is to inform CDC that you are interested in applying for funding under CDC-RFA-FT-23-0069.

The LOI should be submitted in the first 30 days after the application is released. The Letter Of Intent should include the following information:

  • Descriptive title of proposed project
  • Name, address, telephone number, and email address of the Principal Investigator/Project Director
  • Name, address, telephone number, and email address of the primary contact for writing and submitting this application
  • Number and title of this funding opportunity
  • Selected program components for planned program

LOIs may be submitted via e-mail to: [email protected].

Public, academic, and private sector partners are encouraged to apply by the July 14, 2023 application deadline to participate in the network established via cooperative agreement. The new program will support advanced development of modeling, forecasting tools, and outbreak analytics through three critical operations: innovation, integration, and implementation. Funding recipients will work alongside CFA to establish a national network to support state and local decision makers during future public health emergencies. Additionally, the cooperative agreement will fund state and local recipients to plan, prepare, and respond to future infectious disease outbreaks.

  • The innovation component will support the development of a pipeline of new analytical methods, tools, or platforms for modeling efforts and will ultimately be used to provide information to public health decision makers.
  • The integration component will take the most promising approaches from the innovation pipeline and pilot test one or two approaches at the state, local, tribal, or territorial level to gauge the success of the technique in practical application by public health decision makers.
  • The third component, implementation, will take pilot projects that have proven successful and scale them for use across jurisdictions. The goal is to have new, effective analytical tools and approaches to deploy at the local level where critical public health action takes place.

Prospective funding recipients can learn more about this opportunity here and apply here to one of the three components. They may also apply to serve as coordinator between performers for each of the three operational components.

CDC held an informational call 1PM ET on Monday, May 22, 2023. The webinar recording will be shared when it is available.
