The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD) Influenza Division, is seeking to fund a network of research centers focused on influenza modeling and forecasting. - Government Buyer: - Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) - National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD) Influenza Division - Services Requested: - Establishment and operation of a Network of Influenza Modeling and Forecasting Centers - Up to 7 cooperative agreements to support research sites - Activities include: network site establishment, collaboration, scientific documentation, advanced modeling and forecasting of influenza (including at national and sub-national levels), communication of results, and extension to pandemic influenza and other respiratory pathogens - Quantities and Funding: - Up to 7 awards - Total program funding of approximately $16.6 million over five years (about $2.375 million per awardee) - Expected annual funding per applicant: $475,000 - Unique Requirements: - Focus on improving CDC's situational awareness and informing prevention/control strategies - Emphasis on populations at higher risk or with lower access to influenza prevention - Requires collaboration, evidence-based practices, and alignment with CDC priorities - No specific OEMs or commercial vendors are named, as this is a research and network-building initiative rather than a product procurement.

Description

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) aims to establish a network of researchers to enhance the CDC's use of influenza modeling and forecasting. The network will provide situational awareness, inform influenza prevention and control efforts, advance the science of influenza forecasting and modeling, and improve communication of findings with key partners. The efforts will focus on strategies to mitigate influenza-related morbidity and mortality, including populations at higher risk or with lower access to prevention measures. The funding is provided as a cooperative agreement with an expected total program funding of $16,625,000 over five years, supporting up to seven awards.
