Supporting Improved Health for all People in the Kingdom of Cambodia by Strengthening the Ministry of Health Capacity to Lead Disease Prevention and Control Efforts and Develop Sustainable Health Delivery Systems under the Presidents Emergency Plan for AI | CDC RFA GH12 122605CONT16

Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH12 122605CONT16

This funding opportunity is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement that supports health improvements in the Kingdom of Cambodia by strengthening the Ministry of Health (MOH) to lead disease prevention and control and to build more sustainable health service delivery systems. It sits under the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), which indicates a strong focus on HIV/AIDS-related prevention, care, and health systems strengthening, while also reinforcing broader public health capacity that can support multiple diseases and cross-cutting health priorities. The overall intent is not simply to deliver short-term services, but to help the Cambodian MOH develop the leadership, systems, and operational capability to manage and sustain effective disease control and health programming over time.

A key feature of this notice is that it is continuation funding only. The opportunity category is explicitly listed as "Continuation," and the description states that the award is intended only for grantees that were previously awarded under the earlier funding announcement CDC-RFA-GH12-1226. In practical terms, that means it is not an open competitive opportunity for new applicants. Instead, it is a mechanism for CDC to continue supporting an existing project or set of activities with an established implementing partner already funded under the original award. While the "Eligible Applicants" field is broadly labeled as "Others," the continuation language makes clear that eligibility is effectively limited to current or prior awardees tied to that original announcement.

The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expects substantial involvement in the work beyond standard grant oversight. Cooperative agreements commonly involve close technical collaboration, joint planning, and CDC input on program direction, performance monitoring, and implementation quality. For an MOH capacity-building effort, this structure aligns with hands-on technical assistance, shared accountability for results, and iterative improvements in systems such as surveillance, program management, laboratory networks, quality assurance, and data use for decision-making.

In terms of administrative details, the funding opportunity number is listed as CDC-RFA-GH12-122605CONT16, and the associated CFDA number is 93.067, which corresponds to CDC global HIV/AIDS and related public health program activities in the PEPFAR context. The originating agency is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The record shows a creation date of 2015-09-24 and an original closing date of 2015-11-24, reflecting when this continuation action was posted and when related submission requirements (for the eligible continuation grantee) would have been due.

Several fields in the listing suggest that this posting functions more as an administrative continuation notice than a typical competitive grant announcement. The "Award Ceiling" is shown as 0 and the "Expected Awards" field is blank, which often occurs when the specific funding level is determined through internal continuation processes, incremental funding decisions, or year-to-year allocations rather than a published maximum for a new competition. The activity category is "Health," consistent with the programmatic goals of disease prevention and control and strengthening sustainable health delivery systems.

In short, this opportunity is best understood as CDC continuing an existing PEPFAR-supported cooperative agreement in Cambodia aimed at strengthening the Ministry of Health's ability to lead and sustain effective public health and HIV/AIDS-related prevention and control efforts. It is not designed for new entrants; it is a continuation of prior work under CDC-RFA-GH12-1226, using a cooperative agreement model that supports close collaboration with CDC to build long-term national capacity and durable health system improvements.
