Enhancing global laboratory systems to safely manage biological risks, deploy diagnostics, and sequence pathogens to improve capacities for global health threat response and detection

US · IL Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - Global Health Center (HHS-CDC-GHC) grant unknown #CDC-RFA-JG-26-0058

Summary

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Global Health Center (GHC), is forecasting a federal grant opportunity (CDC-RFA-JG-26-0058) focused on enhancing global laboratory systems. The program aims to strengthen biosafety/biosecurity risk management, deploy diagnostic capabilities, and advance pathogen genomic sequencing. The overarching goal is to build and improve international capacities for detecting and responding to global health threats.

What they want

Awardee(s) will enhance global laboratory systems by: (1) safely managing biological risks through biosafety and biosecurity frameworks; (2) deploying diagnostic tools and platforms in international settings; and (3) sequencing pathogens to support surveillance and detection. The work is intended to improve global health threat response and detection capacities in partnership with CDC's Global Health Center.
Deliverables
  • Enhanced global laboratory biosafety and biosecurity systems
  • Deployed diagnostic capabilities in target countries/regions
  • Pathogen genomic sequencing outputs
  • Improved global health threat detection and response capacities
Technical requirements
  • Safe management of biological risks
  • Deployment of diagnostic tools and platforms
  • Pathogen genomic sequencing capabilities
  • Global health threat detection and response systems

Risks & flags

  • Opportunity is listed as 'forecasted' with minimal detail — scope, eligibility, award ceiling, and submission requirements are not yet disclosed
  • No response deadline provided, limiting advance preparation time
  • Agency code is highly specialized (HHS-CDC-GHC), which may narrow eligible applicants to organizations with existing CDC global health partnerships
