Activities under this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) should focus on protecting and improving public health globally by: 1) strengthening public health surveillance systems; 2)improving the public health surveillance workforce; 3) improving the interface between public health disease surveillance and laboratory systems; 4) reinforcing emergency surveillance preparedness; 5) enhancing electronic disease surveillance platforms and systems; and 6)enhancing the use of surveillance data for public health action.

This NOFO is intended to support global health security partners to develop or continue the implementation of surveillance activities that focus on protecting and improving public health globally through strategic planning, policy, strengthening surveillance capacities and systems through partnerships.

These surveillance systems should build and improve regional and country capacities to detect, respond, control, and prevent infectious diseases and emerging threats; strengthen border health security; and mitigate public health events of international concern (PHEICs) or other global health issues.

The implementing partner(s) will work closely with Ministries of Health, CDC country offices, and other stakeholders to assess existing surveillance systems, identify gaps, and propose solutions to enhance system performance.

Activities will include the development and adaptation of protocols, training materials, and guidance documents, as well as the integration of surveillance data into actionable insights for decision-making.

The partner will also support cross-sectoral collaboration to address One Health priorities, facilitate the use of innovative tools and technologies, and provide workforce development opportunities to build local capacity.
