Emerging Infections Network - Research for Preventing, Detecting, and Managing Travel-associated Infectious Diseases

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - ERA·Government

This cooperative agreement funds research to improve prevention, detection, and management of travel-associated infectious diseases in international travelers. It supports clinic-based sentinel surveillance and sentinel detection at international transportation hubs to generate actionable data on disease burden, diagnostics, treatment, and outbreak detection. The expected outcome is improved public health guidance, patient care, and surveillance capacity for travel-related infectious disease threats.

Go / No-Go Memo

This opportunity looks relevant, but the strongest path is likely through a partner or consortium.

Partner

The NOFO is relevant because it funds infectious disease surveillance and research with an explicit sentinel-detection component, which could align with public health and travel-health capacities. However, eligibility is limited to U.S.-based organizational types and the opportunity is framed as a research cooperative agreement, so IFRC or National Society participation is possible only indirectly and should not be assumed.

Strategic fit

strong

Academic is the strongest profile match at 85/100; relevance is 42/100.

Eligibility risk

strong

Eligible applicant types include Nonprofits, State governments, Public and State controlled institutions of higher education, Native American tribal organizations, and others.

Deadline feasibility

moderate

The call closes in 15 days, so proposal capacity is the main constraint.

Funding attractiveness

strong

The tracked ceiling is $30M across 2 awards.

Partnership need

moderate

This may be stronger with a Academic lead or co-applicant based on fit scores.

Recommended next action

Track

The focus of this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is to produce insights into disease detection and prevention strategies, burden, severity, diagnostics, treatment, and outcomes of infectious diseases in international travelers. Timely surveillance and sentinel detection are essential for collecting actionable data. The research should:Address public health questions that improve the speed of outbreak detection.Help develop guidelines and recommendations to improve patient care.Enhance understanding of the natural history of disease.Optimize genomic surveillance as well as diagnostic and treatment strategies.Advance the global health security of the United States.This NOFO will have two components:Component A – Clinic-based sentinel network.Component B – Sentinel detection in international transportation hubs.You may apply for Component A, B, or both.

If your application for both Component A and B is ranked top, Component B will be awarded.

Strengthening Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Organized Crime Specialized Departments for Organized Crime Through Expert Advisory Support

U.S. Mission to Bosnia and Herzegovina

This opportunity funds expert advisory and mentoring support to specialized anti-organized crime and corruption departments in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The selected individual or experts will work with prosecutors, judges, and investigators in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republika Srpska to strengthen prosecutorial methodology, case prioritization, and legal reform efforts. The intended outcome is stronger institutional capacity to manage complex organized crime and corruption cases, including cases with a U.S. nexus.

This is a U.S. Mission grant for individual experts focused on anti-organized crime and corruption capacity building in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is outside IFRC and National Society core mandates. Eligibility is restricted to individuals and the source gives no realistic role for Movement participation, so relevance is very low.

Advanced border surveillance and situational awareness

European Commission

This Horizon Europe Innovation Action funds solutions for advanced border surveillance and situational awareness at land and sea borders. It is aimed at projects involving border or coast guard authorities and focuses on improving detection, response, and protection of fundamental rights in the context of irregular migration and cross-border illicit activities. The expected outcome is more effective, safer, and more resilient border monitoring and reaction capacities, with projects reaching TRL 6-7.

The call is highly specific to border and coast guard authorities in EU Member States or Associated Countries, which limits a direct Movement participation pathway. It is still relevant to monitor because it concerns migration-related border situational awareness and fundamental-rights safeguards, but source information does not support a strong role for IFRC or National Societies.

Reliability of age assessment methods in the context of security and border management

European Commission

This Horizon Europe Coordination and Support Action funds analysis and comparison of age assessment methods in security and border management contexts, with a focus on reliability, accuracy, effectiveness, and fundamental-rights safeguards. It is intended for projects involving at least two Border or Coast Guard Authorities from at least two EU Member States or Associated Countries, and aims to improve protection of minors and cooperation among authorities.

The topic is technically related to protection of minors and migration/border management, but it is a Horizon Europe research-oriented coordination action with a mandatory focus on Border or Coast Guard Authorities. This creates limited and uncertain participation pathways for IFRC or National Societies, so it is more suitable for tracking than active pursuit.
