Enhancing global laboratory systems to safely manage biological risks, deploy diagnostics, and sequence pathogens to improve capacities for global health threat response and detection

Activities under this NOFO will focus on protecting and improving public health globally by: 1) strengthening public health laboratory systems; 2) improving public health laboratory workforce; 3) improving bio risk management; 4) reinforcing emergency laboratory preparedness in alignment with 7-1-7 outbreak response paradigm; 5) enhancing laboratory quality management systems and; 6) enhancing diagnostic capacity via rapid tests for low resource settings and genomic sequencing for pathogens of pandemic potential. Additionally, laboratory recipients previously funded under CDC-RFA-GH20-2109 may apply to expand efforts in additional countries with special consideration given to those countries.
