NOTE: This is a Forecasted Opportunity.

The purpose of this NOFO is to strengthen global capacity for molecular surveillance and outbreak response for foodborne, waterborne, and fungal diseases. The Surveillance and Outbreak Response strategy will include the following activities: 1) Waterborne Disease Surveillance Strengthening and Outbreak Response; 2) Genomic surveillance, data systems and outbreak response for fungal diseases; 3) Enteric disease surveillance strengthening, including case confirmation. The Capacity Building strategy will include the following activities: 1) Country-level Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) programs capacity building; 2) Wastewater and Environmental Surveillance capacity building; 3) Regional capacity building for Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS), bioinformatics, lab diagnosis and outbreak preparedness; 4) Country-level WGS and lab diagnosis  capacity building and 5) Epidemiology and Laboratory Workforce development for foodborne, waterborne, and fungal diseases. Locations of activities will vary, based on CDC priority, but will include multiple regional and country-level locations.
