Abstract
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), located within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), announces the award of approximately $1,000,000, with an expected total funding of approximately $5,000,000 over a five-year project period, to the Vietnam Department of Animal Health. The award will strengthen capabilities and maintain the government run laboratory-supported surveillance at the animal-human interface for avian and non-avian influenza viruses, other zoonotic diseases (e.g., rabies, African Swine Fever, etc.), and other respiratory zoonotic viruses (e.g., SARS-CoV-2) in Vietnam.

SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), located
within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), announces the
award of approximately $1,000,000, with an expected total funding of
approximately $5,000,000 over a five-year project period, to the
Vietnam Department of Animal Health. The award will strengthen
capabilities and maintain the government run laboratory-supported
surveillance at the animal-human interface for avian and non-avian
influenza viruses, other zoonotic diseases (e.g., rabies, African Swine
Fever, etc.), and other respiratory zoonotic viruses (e.g., SARS-CoV-2)
in Vietnam.
DATES: The period for this award will be September 30, 2022, through
September 29, 2027.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nga Vuong, National Center for
Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, 1600 Clifton Rd. NE, MS H24-7, Atlanta, GA 30329,
Telephone: 800-232-6348.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The single-source award will strengthen
capabilities and maintain the government run laboratory-supported
surveillance at the animal-human interface for avian and non-avian
zoonotic influenza viruses, other zoonotic diseases, and other
respiratory zoonotic viruses in Vietnam.
The Vietnam Department of Animal Health (DAH) is in a unique
position to conduct this work because of their position as the sole
official, authorized governmental agency with the legal and regulatory
authority and ability to lead and manage animal health and pathogen
surveillance. DAH provides technical management and oversight to its
sub-departments across the country to implement animal surveillance and
related activities such as outbreak investigation. DAH's 7 Regional
Animal Health Offices (RAHOs) are strategically located throughout the
country and have in-house lab testing capacity. DAH is at the center of
a national network of
[[Page 3545]]
collaborating animal health offices including the National Center for
Veterinary Diagnosis. DAH possesses the high-quality lab and
epidemiologic capacities to analyze influenza and other zoonotic and
animal disease pathogens in the molecular, antigenic, diagnostic, and
epidemiologic efforts. DAH has an established framework and systematic
surveillance network to generate data on the occurrence of animal
diseases and disease burden, to evaluate new diagnostic approaches, to
develop standards for specimen collection and handling, and to
communicate important new scientific development.
Summary of the Award
Recipient: Vietnam Department of Animal Health (DAH).
Purpose of the Award: The purpose of this award is to strengthen
capabilities and maintain the government run laboratory-supported
surveillance at the animal-human interface for avian and non-avian
influenza viruses, other zoonotic diseases, and other respiratory
zoonotic viruses in Vietnam. Activities supported through this award
will also enhance the capacity of the Vietnamese Government to
identify, monitor, respond, and mitigate risk factors to outbreaks of
avian and non-avian zoonotic influenza viruses to decrease prevalence,
morbidity, and mortality of disease within Vietnam; improve
participation of Vietnam in global WHO vaccine strain selection and
development; enhance multi-sector collaboration in outbreak
investigation across the animal-health interface; and increase use of
surveillance data for decision making around prevention and control
activities to protect human population.
Amount of Award: $1,000,000 in Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2022
funds, and an estimated total of approximately $5,000,000 over the
five-year project period, subject to availability of funds.

Public Health Service Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. 242l).
Period of Performance: September 30, 2022, through September 29,
2027.
Dated: January 19, 2022.

Chief Grants Management Officer, Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention.
