Opportunity Information: Apply for RFA GH 19 015
The grant opportunity titled "Malaria Operations Research to Improve Malaria Control and Reduce Morbidity and Mortality in Malawi" (Funding Opportunity Number RFA GH 19 015) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically through CDCs Division of Parasitic Diseases and Malaria. It is offered as a cooperative agreement, which usually means the recipient would not just receive funds and work independently, but would carry out the project with substantial involvement and technical collaboration from CDC. The overall goal is to support practical, field-oriented work in Malawi that strengthens malaria control by generating usable evidence, improving program strategies, and ultimately reducing illness and deaths caused by malaria.
At its core, the opportunity is designed to fund malaria-focused operations research along with surveillance, monitoring, and evaluation activities. Operations research in this context typically means studying how malaria interventions work in real program settings and figuring out how to make them more effective, more efficient, and better targeted. Rather than basic laboratory science, the emphasis is on applied public health work that can quickly inform decisions such as where and how to deploy interventions, how to improve service delivery, and how to detect and respond to changes in malaria transmission patterns. The inclusion of surveillance and monitoring and evaluation signals a focus on strengthening the systems that track malaria burden, intervention coverage, and performance, so that Malawis malaria program can identify gaps, respond to outbreaks, and adapt strategies based on evidence.
The NOFO highlights the intent to fund critical research and evaluation activities that have a strong chance of producing high-impact public health findings. In practical terms, this means the funded work should be positioned to answer priority questions that matter for national malaria control, such as why certain interventions are underperforming in particular districts, how to improve uptake and correct use of malaria prevention tools, or how to refine case detection and reporting so that decision-makers have reliable, timely data. The aim is not just to produce reports, but to improve strategies that reduce the overall malaria burden and increase the health and well-being of people in Malawi, especially populations at higher risk.
From an administrative perspective, the opportunity was created on December 19, 2018, with an original application closing date of February 19, 2019. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The program lists an award ceiling of $10,000,000 and anticipates making one award, indicating a single, relatively large project that could coordinate multiple related activities under one umbrella, such as multi-site operations research paired with surveillance strengthening and rigorous monitoring and evaluation. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 93.326, placing it within CDCs broader portfolio of public health assistance programs.
Eligibility is listed generally as "Others" with additional details referenced in the full eligibility text, which suggests that applicants likely include non-traditional categories beyond standard state or local U.S. government entities, potentially encompassing organizations with the capacity to conduct large-scale public health research and program evaluation in Malawi. The cooperative agreement structure, single expected award, and high ceiling together suggest CDC was seeking one strong partner capable of coordinating closely with national stakeholders, aligning with Malawis malaria priorities, and delivering results that can be translated into policy and program improvements.
Overall, the opportunity is about using on-the-ground research and strong data systems to make malaria control efforts in Malawi work better. It supports practical studies and evaluations tied directly to implementation, surveillance, and program performance, with the explicit expectation that the findings will help refine malaria strategies and contribute to fewer malaria cases, fewer severe outcomes, and fewer deaths.Apply for RFA GH 19 015
