Advancing outbreak detection, notification, and response capacity through 7-1-7 implementation in partner countries

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is offering a cooperative agreement to enhance outbreak detection, notification, and response capabilities in partner countries through the implementation of the 7-1-7 target. This funding opportunity aims to strengthen country systems for early detection of biological threats, timely notifications, and effective responses to outbreaks, thereby protecting both American interests and the health of recipient nations. The initiative emphasizes improving surveillance, laboratory readiness, and response operations to mitigate health and economic impacts, with a total of eight awards expected.
