Strengthening Public Health Laboratories Internationally: The U.S. government's (USG) Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) envisions a world safe and secure from global health threats posed by infectious diseases. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is working to help Ministries of Health meet key International Health Regulation (IHR, 2005) requirements through implementation of the GHSA. CDC seeks to work with partner countries and other USG agencies in a collaborative effort to achieve specific goals in three focus areas: 1) Preventing avoidable epidemics; 2) Detecting threats early; and 3) Responding rapidly and effectively (http://www.cdc.gov/globalhealth/security/actionpackages/default.htm).This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) supports the implementation of laboratory-related programs and activities that focus on protecting and improving health globally through collaborations with implementing partnerships and Ministries of Health. Its purpose is to build laboratory capacity that that enable host governments to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease outbreaks, public health threats, and Public Health Emergencies of International Concern (PHEICs). Applications should consider building upon existing public health infrastructure focusing on country priorities that are of mutual interest in order to strengthen regional and national partnerships, public health capacity, leadership, strategic collaboration and integrated health programs.
