The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is forecasting a funding opportunity titled "Strengthening Regional Field Epidemiology Training Program (FETP) Networks in Thailand," aimed at enhancing global health security through the development of a well-trained epidemiologic public health workforce. The program seeks to create and support regional networks of FETPs that will improve the quality of existing training programs, facilitate knowledge sharing, and provide technical assistance to address public health emergencies effectively. This initiative is crucial for addressing infectious disease threats in an interconnected world, where rapid information exchange and resource mobilization are essential for outbreak response. The estimated total program funding is $50 million, with an expected five awards to be made, and interested applicants can reach out to Shana Eatman at 770.488.3933 or via email at DGHPNOFOs@cdc.gov. The application process is expected to open on November 1, 2024, with a closing date of January 1, 2025, and awards anticipated by September 30, 2025.
