Request a Grant Writer

Cooperative agreements to USA and territories nonprofits, for-profits, IHEs, government agencies, and tribes to prevent, prepare for, and mitigate the spread of infectious diseases. Required registrations may take up to several weeks to finalize. Funding may be requested for projects that improve the quality and safety of healthcare or for projects that address training and education related to infection prevention and control among healthcare workers.

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted gaps in infection prevention and control (IPC) knowledge and practice in U.S. healthcare settings. IPC in healthcare stops the spread of infections, preventing illness and death and protecting patients and healthcare personnel. There is a need to strengthen healthcare IPC practices, inform IPC recommendations, improve how healthcare personnel IPC competencies are assessed, and develop evidence-based approaches to IPC training and education. Through this NOFO, CDC will continue to protect Americans by improving the safety and quality of healthcare.

This NOFO supports the priorities of the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, including the prevention of the spread of infectious diseases by enhancing healthcare IPC. CDC will establish and expand partnerships with academic, healthcare, and other organizations to address common IPC failure modes; enhance correct implementation of IPC protocols and work processes; and strengthen healthcare worker training and competency assessment. Successful applicants will demonstrate specialized expertise, infrastructure, technological capabilities, and partners to strengthen healthcare IPC.

Strategies within Component 1, improving the safety and quality of healthcare and protecting healthcare personnel and patients by strengthening IPC, will:

Improve healthcare facility structure, design, and organization
Optimize materials and equipment design and safe use across healthcare settings
Improve IPC work processes, procedures, and practices
Promote standard practices to ensure healthcare environments are safe for healthcare personnel and patients
Strengthen healthcare IPC preparedness.

Strategies within Component two, strengthening healthcare personnel IPC training, education, and competency assessment, will:

Develop and evaluate innovative and effective IPC training and education approaches
Implement improved or novel approaches to healthcare personnel competency assessment
Improve the ability of the U.S. public health workforce to support healthcare IPC and prevent and respond to healthcare-associated infections (HAI) and antibiotic resistance (AR).
