within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), announces 
three separate awards to fund the Institut of Epidemiology Disease 
Control and Research (IEDCR), the Institut National Hygiene Publique 
(INHP), and the Ghana Health Service (GHS). The awards will protect 
Americans and people worldwide from public health threats by building 
capacity within their respective countries to strengthen public health 
preparedness; early pathogen detection to mitigate the impact of global 
disease outbreaks and public health; and bolstering rapid response to 
global health emergencies.

DATES: The period for these awards will be September 30, 2023 through 
September 29, 2028.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The single-source award will provide support 
around disease surveillance and outbreak response, including 
establishing routine surveillance and developing information technology 
tools and systems. Broad areas of support include, but are not limited 
to: emergency management, ensuring countries have the knowledge and 
resources they need, including emergency operations centers that can 
mount a fast, coordinated response when outbreaks happen; safe 
laboratory systems and diagnostics, building the capacity to identify 
disease threats close to the source and inform decision-making; and 
developing the workforce, training frontline responders, laboratorians, 
disease detectives, emergency managers, and other health professionals 
who are responsible for taking the lead when crisis strikes.
    IEDCR, INHP, and GHS are in a unique position to conduct this work, 
as they are host government ministries of health with the authority to 
support health service delivery through capacity building and oversee 
the national coordination of surveillance, preparedness, prevention, 
and response activities to all forms of health threats and public 
health emergencies.
