Surveillance and Response to Avian and Pandemic Influenza by National Health Authorities outside the United States

This notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) continues work initiated under influenza cooperative agreements IP16-1603, IP16-1605, IP19-1902 and previous awards from years 2004 - 2015. These agreements were developed to enhance the ability and capacity of foreign governments to conduct surveillance for seasonal influenza and to detect and respond to pandemic influenza threats. The proposed NOFO complements current global pandemic preparedness work and seeks to further strengthen the capacity of national health authorities and partners to detect and respond to influenza outbreaks and on a broader scale to respond to respiratory pathogen outbreaks utilizing as needed the influenza surveillance systems as a surveillance base.
