Additional Information on Eligibility: Eligible applicants that can apply for this funding opportunity are organizations in Guatemala which are active in public-health practice. Guatemala is chosen as the country site based on strategic priorities of HHS/CDC, and as the country where HHS/CDC counterpart staff is based to partner with the applicant in the implementation of activities. Similarly, for this reason, as well as the programmatic activities required to fulfill the objectives of the Cooperative Agreement, organizations located within Guatemala are uniquely qualified to successfully perform the mission of the Agency. To be eligible for funding, the applicant must have documented experience in field epidemiology, including the investigation of outbreaks and the establishment of disease-surveillance systems. The applicant must also have the infrastructure and personnel necessary to provide a strong capacity for laboratory diagnosis of human infectious diseases, including bacteriology, virology, parasitology, and serology, applying modern molecular methods. HHS/CDC will give preference to applicants that have mechanisms in place for hiring professional staff from other countries in the region. Applicants must document fulfillment of this requirement in the Capacity section of the applicants narrative.
