The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) CDC-RFA-JG-25-0141 focuses on expanding global health security in Indonesia through local partnerships. This program seeks to enhance collaboration between the CDC and Indonesia's Ministry of Health (MOH) to achieve global health security goals and implement International Health Regulations (IHR) core principles. The goal is to strengthen Indonesia’s ability to prevent, detect, and respond to public health threats while building on existing public health infrastructure and past CDC initiatives, specifically the CDC-RFA-GH20-2120 project.
The NOFO targets five critical public health areas: Real-Time Surveillance and Reporting, Laboratory Systems, Workforce Development, Emergency Management and Response, and Health System Strengthening and Service Delivery. The projects should address the recommendations from the 2023 Joint External Evaluation (JEE), align with the MOH’s strategic plans, and prioritize gaps identified in the National Action Plan for Health Security. Effective monitoring and evaluation of program performance and progress are also required as part of the implementation strategy.
The total estimated funding for this opportunity is $25,000,000, with two awards expected to be granted. The opportunity is open to a broad range of applicants, including state and local governments, tribal organizations, public and private higher education institutions, nonprofits, small businesses, and for-profit entities. There are no cost-sharing or matching requirements for applicants.
Applications must be submitted electronically via Grants.gov by April 8, 2025, no later than 11:59 PM ET. The estimated post date for the application package is February 7, 2025, and awards are expected to be announced on August 29, 2025. Funded projects are anticipated to start on September 30, 2025.
This funding opportunity represents a significant initiative to enhance Indonesia’s public health capabilities and strengthen its capacity to address health security challenges in collaboration with international stakeholders. Interested applicants should prepare proposals that integrate local context, align with national and international health frameworks, and address Indonesia’s strategic health priorities.
