Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA JG 26 0125
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Global Health Center, is offering a cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Strengthening tuberculosis (TB) prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and surveillance in Asia" (Funding Opportunity Number: CDC RFA JG 26 0125; CFDA 93.494). The overall aim is to reduce TB-related illness and death in three priority countries: India, the Philippines, and Vietnam. These countries are emphasized because Asia has the highest global burden of TB, including drug-resistant and multidrug-resistant TB, and because India, the Philippines, and Vietnam are among the top contributors to the TB burden seen in the United States. The work is also described as aligning with the America First Global Health Strategy.
Funding for the first year is expected to total about $3,000,000 across the program, assuming funds are available. The notice lists an award ceiling for Year 1 as $0 (none), which typically signals that a specific per-award cap is not being set in the announcement text rather than implying that no money is available. The CDC expects to make around three awards. The application closing date is 2026-06-22, and the opportunity was created on 2026-05-22.
Programmatically, the CDC is looking to strengthen four connected areas of TB control. First is TB case finding, which includes the full chain of activities needed to identify people with TB: screening, testing, and diagnostic evaluation, with an emphasis on reaching people earlier and more effectively. Second is TB prevention, particularly through TB preventive treatment (TPT) for people who are infected and at high risk of progressing to active disease. Third is TB treatment, including improving linkage to care and supporting the use of improved treatment regimens when appropriate, with attention to people with drug-resistant or multidrug-resistant TB. Fourth is surveillance, focusing on adopting, evaluating, and expanding innovative approaches so that programs can use timely and high-quality data for decision making, planning, and public health action.
The announcement highlights several priority activity themes that awardees are expected to pursue. One theme is expanding and improving the diagnosis of both TB infection and TB disease, specifically calling out early and asymptomatic TB as well as drug-resistant and multidrug-resistant TB. The intent is not only to deliver services, but also to use and evaluate innovative screening and diagnostic methods and then scale up approaches that have evidence behind them. A second theme is improving outcomes for preventive treatment and for treatment of active TB disease. This includes efforts to raise completion and success rates for TPT among high-risk individuals and to improve treatment outcomes for people with TB disease, including those with resistant forms of TB, by supporting the use of newer, shorter, and better-tolerated regimens. A third theme is strengthening TB surveillance so that information is reliable and actionable, enabling countries and partners to target resources, monitor performance, and respond quickly to changing TB patterns.
Eligibility is broad and includes state, county, city/township, and special district governments; independent school districts; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations (with or without 501(c)(3) status); for-profit organizations (including small businesses); and unrestricted applicants. Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, recipients should expect substantial involvement from CDC in the project, typically meaning closer technical collaboration, shared planning, and ongoing performance engagement compared with a standard grant.
In practical terms, the opportunity is structured around finding more TB cases sooner (including hard-to-detect and drug-resistant cases), preventing progression to disease through stronger preventive treatment programs, improving treatment success using better regimens and stronger linkage to care, and building surveillance systems and innovations that help national programs make smarter, data-driven decisions. The overall impact CDC is seeking is measurable improvement in TB prevention, detection, treatment outcomes, and surveillance capacity in India, the Philippines, and Vietnam, which in turn supports global TB control and reduces TB importation risk to the United States.Apply for CDC RFA JG 26 0125
