Opportunity Information: Apply for CDC RFA GH18 1848
The grant opportunity titled "Support for Global Immunization Activities in Complex Settings" (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA GH18-1848) is a CDC-led cooperative agreement under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Its central focus is strengthening global immunization work where routine health services and vaccination efforts are hardest to deliver, especially in insecure environments and humanitarian crises where access is compromised and communities are chronically under-reached. The program is designed to improve vaccination coverage and reduce illness and death from vaccine-preventable diseases by reinforcing the systems and field capacity needed to plan, communicate, and carry out effective vaccination activities under difficult conditions.
The scope of work centers on three closely related priorities: polio eradication and post-polio eradication transition, measles and rubella elimination, and broader prevention of other vaccine-preventable diseases. In practical terms, that means supporting immunization initiatives that can find and reach children and communities missed by standard service delivery, while also helping countries and partners maintain momentum as polio activities shift from an eradication campaign footing to longer-term immunization and surveillance systems. The inclusion of measles and rubella reflects the need for high coverage and strong campaign execution, particularly in settings where outbreaks can spread quickly due to population movement, disrupted health services, and limited access to care.
A defining feature of this opportunity is its emphasis on organizational capacity building, specifically to strengthen social mobilization and vaccination campaign implementation. Social mobilization in this context involves the community-facing work that makes campaigns possible: building trust, addressing misinformation and vaccine hesitancy, tailoring messages to local realities, engaging local leaders and influencers, and ensuring families know when and where vaccination is available. Alongside communications and community engagement, the funding supports the operational backbone required for campaigns in complex settings, such as microplanning, coordination with local partners, adapting strategies for insecurity, and improving approaches that help teams reach chronically missed groups. The overall intent is to make vaccination campaigns more effective and equitable by improving both demand for vaccination and the ability to deliver it.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically indicates substantial involvement from the CDC in technical guidance, collaboration, and program oversight during implementation. The CFDA number listed is 93.185, and the opportunity anticipated a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1). The posting shows an award ceiling of 0, which generally signals that the specific funding limit was not stated in that field and would need to be confirmed in the full notice or related documents. The opportunity was created on March 13, 2018, with an original application closing date of May 14, 2018, and it required electronic submission by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with additional details referenced as being in the full eligibility text, suggesting it may have been targeted to certain types of organizations with relevant experience in global immunization, humanitarian response, or campaign delivery in insecure environments. Overall, the grant is structured to support a partner capable of operating in complex international settings and strengthening the on-the-ground systems and community engagement needed to raise immunization coverage and reduce the burden of vaccine-preventable diseases.Apply for CDC RFA GH18 1848
