CDC will strengthen the U.S. public health system’s response to public health or healthcare crises by funding organizations to provide expert technical assistance and other forms of support to entities engaged in a public health or healthcare crisis. The purpose of this NOFO is (1) to establish a pool of organizations capable of rapidly providing essential expertise to parties involved in an emergency response, and (2) to fund select awardees to provide that support, when required, based on determination of need. The awardee will function as a rapid provider of information and/or resources, as well as a coordinator of the project management components involved. While it is impossible to foresee which parties (or types of parties) the awardee would support, examples could include governmental health departments, other governmental departments, hospitals or hospital systems, governors' offices, charitable and other non-profit organizations, or commercial partners.

CDC is creating two notice of funding opportunities (NOFOs) to improve the U.S. public health system's response to crises: 1) one to fund governmental health departments when responding to an emergency, and 2) another to fund eligible organizations to provide critical technical assistance and other forms of support to parties involved in an emergency response. While it is impossible to foresee which parties (or types of parties) the awardee would be funded to support, examples could include governmental health departments, other governmental departments, hospitals or hospital systems, governors' offices, charitable and other non-profit organizations, or commercial partners. The two NOFOs referenced above are partner programs - each is designed to complement the other. As a result, any entities eligible for one are not eligible for the other.

The first NOFO referenced above has already posted in Grants.Gov. It was posted 10/11/2017, titled "Cooperative Agreement for Emergency Response: Public Health Crisis Response" (CDC-RFA-TP18-1802). It will fund governmental health departments during an emergency response.
The second NOFO referenced above is the subject of this announcement and is titled "Technical Assistance for Response to Public Health or Healthcare Crises " (CDC-RFA-OT18- 1804). It will fund eligible organizations to provide critical technical assistance and other forms of support to parties involved in an emergency response
