Strengthening Collaboration Between Tuberculosis Control Programs and Affiliated Partners in the United States.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announces the availability of funding to support one recipient to build on the work under the previous notice of funding opportunity (CDC-RFA-PS22-2205) by strengthening collaboration and relationships with TB control programs, TB controllers, and affiliated partners in the United States. These partners include, but are not limited to, national TB control programs, other federal agencies, academia, businesses, community-based organizations, faith-based organizations, advisory boards, committees, and other entities with an interest in working with key partners in the field to advance CDC Division of Tuberculosis Elimination's mission to promote health and quality of life by preventing, controlling, and eventually eliminating TB in the United States.

Territorial governments or their bona field agents in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands and the Republic of Palau.

Applications will be evaluated on the review criteria described in the Notice of Funding Opportunity Announcements (NOFOs). In general, the review and selection process of complete and responsive applications to the NOFO consists of determination of the scientific and technical merit by objective or peer review, availability of funds, and relevance of program priorities and the priorities of CDC.
