Cooperative Agreement for Affiliated Partner with the Gulf Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU)

Geological Survey

This cooperative agreement supports public health systems in India to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious disease threats. It focuses on strengthening public health workforce capacity, disease surveillance, laboratory systems, emergency preparedness and response, and antimicrobial resistance, with a One Health approach. The effort is intended to help control outbreaks at their source and improve overall health security capacity.

The opportunity is relevant to health security, surveillance, and outbreak response, but it is limited to India and appears oriented toward government/public-health system strengthening. It is open to several U.S.-style applicant types, yet there is no explicit indication that IFRC or National Societies are intended applicants or partners.

This cooperative agreement supports strengthening and sustaining public health systems in Ghana to improve prevention, early detection, and response to infectious disease threats. It funds work on laboratory capacity, surveillance, emergency response, workforce development, and sequencing/bioinformatics, with an emphasis on border districts and rapid detection of public health threats. The expected outcome is a more resilient national system able to better prevent avoidable epidemics and respond effectively to threats.

The opportunity is highly relevant thematically for public health security and surveillance, but it is country-specific to Ghana and appears structured as a CDC cooperative agreement with eligibility that may favor U.S. and partner institutions. No explicit route for IFRC or National Societies is provided, so strategic relevance is only moderate.

Cooperative Agreement for Affiliated Partner with the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU)

Geological Survey

This cooperative agreement funds technical assistance through a CESU partner to integrate and expand invasive mussel risk assessment models for Washington State and California. The work is intended to identify locations for mitigation interventions such as watercraft inspection and decontamination stations and related public information campaigns. It supports state and federal resource managers and aims to protect water infrastructure and hydro-electric facilities.

The opportunity is geographically restricted to U.S. state and federal resource management work in Washington and California, and eligibility is limited to CESU-affiliated partners rather than humanitarian or global-health actors. It is technically relevant only in a narrow risk-management sense, so it is not a strong fit for IFRC or National Societies.
