What it funds

Official synopsis as published by the agency, formatted for readability.

The proposed international hybrid Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) will link non-research implementation with targeted research that advances CDC's mission to address antimicrobial resistance (AR) across multiple bacterial and fungal pathogens, healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), and emerging infectious disease threats including viral pathogens across healthcare, community, and environmental settings in low and middle-income countries. AR and HAI remain urgent global threats, with substantial mortality and economic impact. Building on CDC's Global AR Laboratory and Response Network, HAI surveillance and prevention networks, and other collaborating programs, the NOFO seeks to strengthen detection, surveillance, prevention, and response systems to reduce illness and death, stop the spread of AR, protect healthcare workers and patients, and lower costs through robust infection prevention and control (IPC) and antimicrobial stewardship.
