Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH17 1703
The grant opportunity titled "Strengthening Global Public Health Workforce Capacity in Partnership with Academia" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH17-1703) is a discretionary cooperative agreement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Center for Global Health (CDC-CGH), categorized under the health funding activity area and listed under CFDA 93.318. It was created on February 16, 2017, with an original application closing date of April 28, 2017. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the announcement did not limit applicants to a narrow set of institution types in the summary provided. The CDC anticipated making one award, and the posted award ceiling was shown as $0, which typically indicates that the ceiling amount was either not specified in the summary fields, to be determined, or described elsewhere in the full announcement materials rather than in the brief listing.
Programmatically, the focus of the opportunity is workforce development as a core piece of public health infrastructure. The announcement explicitly ties its purpose to the Healthy People 2020 (HP2020) mission, emphasizing two themes: first, increasing public awareness of the social determinants of health, and second, engaging multiple sectors to strengthen policies. The underlying idea is that strong public health systems depend on more than programs and data; they depend on people with the right skills and real-world experience, working across disciplines and sectors to address upstream factors that shape health outcomes.
A central strategy in this FOA is building a capable and qualified pipeline by investing in pre-professional development. Rather than limiting support to established professionals, the opportunity highlights students, recent graduates, and emerging health professionals as priority groups for development. The mechanism described is hands-on work experience gained through structured internship and fellowship programs, which are intended to produce a workforce that is not only technically competent, but also experienced in practical public health operations. In other words, the grant is framed around the idea that classroom learning alone is not enough; supervised placements and applied training are essential for preparing people to deliver public health services effectively at local, national, and global levels.
Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, the relationship implied is collaborative rather than purely transactional. Cooperative agreements generally mean the funder (here, CDC) expects to have substantial involvement during the project period, such as providing technical input, aligning activities with broader public health priorities, and helping ensure that training experiences and outcomes match the goals of strengthening public health infrastructure and advancing HP2020-related objectives. Overall, this opportunity is designed to link academia with practical public health settings in order to expand and professionalize the global public health workforce, while reinforcing awareness and action on social determinants of health through multi-sector engagement.Apply for CDC RFA GH17 1703
