Global Healthcare Detection and Response

Background
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is issuing a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) titled Global Healthcare Detection and Response. The purpose of the network is to rapidly detect and actively contain emerging infectious disease threats in healthcare settings by setting targeted priority goals for prevention, including pathogens or conditions, and working collaboratively to achieve these goals through detection and response.

Grant Details
This NOFO will enhance detection and response to infectious disease threats in healthcare facilities globally by developing networks to implement prevention and containment strategies at local, national, and regional levels. It will support three components: Detect and Respond to Infectious Disease Threats in Healthcare Facilities, Improve Capacity to Detect and Monitor Antimicrobial Resistance, and Rapid Response to Infectious Disease Outbreaks or Other Public Health Emergencies in Healthcare Facilities. The strategies and activities outlined include creating collaborative networks, improving laboratory capacity, implementing infection prevention and control measures, assessing antimicrobial resistance in various pathogens, and developing rapid response capabilities.
