Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA CD21 2104
The Strategic Planning: Middle East/North Africa grant opportunity (CDC RFA CD21-2104) is a CDC cooperative agreement designed to strengthen how public health partners coordinate across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, while also ensuring the region can rapidly organize support during unexpected public health emergencies. It sits under CDCs broader global health regionalization strategy, which has established regional platforms in multiple parts of the world to improve coordination, information-sharing, and collective action around shared public health priorities. For this specific platform, the regional hub is based in Muscat, Oman, and the covered geography includes Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, Djibouti, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen.
The opportunity is structured around two components that applicants can pursue individually or together. Component A focuses on strategic and other planning meetings, meaning the recipient is expected to plan, coordinate, and convene annual strategic meetings and related convenings that bring together regional public health stakeholders. The intent is to create a consistent forum where partners can communicate, coordinate, and collaborate on regional health priorities and capacity building. In practical terms, this typically implies organizing multi-country meetings, setting agendas aligned to regional needs, facilitating participation from key stakeholders, and helping translate discussions into shared priorities and coordinated actions that strengthen public health systems and preparedness across borders. CDC notes that Component A will be supported through a single recipient, indicating one awardee will serve as the main organizer and convener for these regional planning functions.
Component B is designed for emergency response, and it is meant to activate when unanticipated public health emergencies arise in the region. The work under this component is framed as immediate, time-sensitive support aimed at acute public health needs and crisis mitigation. Instead of routine planning activities, this component is about surge response capability: the ability to quickly mobilize services or resources in response to outbreaks or other public health events, supporting urgent coordination and operational needs as they emerge. A key feature is that Component B applications may be designated Approved but Unfunded (ABU), meaning CDC can review and approve proposals in advance, but funding is only released if and when an emergency occurs and CDC determines the recipient resources are needed.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), listed under CFDA 93.318, with the funding instrument type being a cooperative agreement. A cooperative agreement generally signals substantial involvement by the federal agency during implementation, which in this context often means CDC would be actively engaged in coordination, guidance, and alignment with global health security priorities and regionalization goals. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement. The opportunity was created on June 17, 2021, with an original application deadline of July 19, 2021, and required electronic submission by 11:59 pm Eastern Time on the due date.
In short, the opportunity funds (or pre-approves for funding) a regional coordination function for MENA that has two lanes: a standing lane for ongoing strategic planning and convening (Component A) and a surge lane for rapid emergency response when crises occur (Component B). The overall goal is to make regional public health collaboration more systematic and effective during normal periods, while also enabling faster, more organized action during emergencies that threaten health security across the region.Apply for CDC RFA CD21 2104
