Notice of Award of a Single Source Cooperative Agreement To Fund 
Task Force for Global Health, Inc.

AGENCY: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of 
Health and Human Services (HHS).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), located 
within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), announces one 
award to fund The Task Force for Global Health for approximately 
$4,000,000, in Federal Fiscal Year 2026, subject to the availability of 
funds. Funding amounts for years 2-5 will be set at continuation.

DATES: The period for this award will be September 30, 2026, through 
September 29, 2026.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: CAPT. E. Azziz-Baumgartner, USPHS, 
Global Influenza Branch Chief, Influenza Division, National Center for 
Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention, 1600 Clifton Rd., Atlanta, GA, Global Influenza Branch, 
Phone: 404-639-2555.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Task Force for Global Health (TFGH), a 
nonprofit organization, serves as a coordinating body to bring 
stakeholders together at the regional and global level to advance CDC's 
goals, supporting the Influenza Division's priorities for timely 
detection and reporting of influenza viruses. The single source award 
will provide an innovative public-private partnership with the CDC, 
Ministries of Health, corporate partners, and others to create 
sustainable prevention and control programs for seasonal influenza and 
other respiratory viruses worldwide. The award will provide funding to 
TFGH to (1) strengthen early detection, prevention, and response 
efforts for influenza and other respiratory pathogens; (2) gather 
strategic information on epidemic and pandemic readiness; and (3) 
implement effective and cost-efficient strategies to prevent and 
control these threats through evidence-based interventions resulting in 
better protection for Americans from seasonal and pandemic influenza as 
well as other respiratory viruses.
    TFGH is uniquely qualified to conduct this work, as it is 
recognized for its strong, established relationships with many of CDC's 
priority partners. Initially, TFGH brought together partners to support 
the use of influenza vaccines among target groups in Southeast Asia and 
the Americas and in succeeding years has expanded its work to include 
coordination of large-scale pandemic response activities in support of 
CDC's mission, including pandemic vaccine deployment and respiratory 
virus prevention and control programs. Because of this experience TFGH 
is the uniquely qualified partner supporting National Center for 
Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD)-priority work on 
influenza vaccine programs and respiratory virus prevention outside the 
United States. Its mission aligns with the global objectives of CDC and 
the Influenza Division.

Summary of Award

    Recipient: Task Force for Global Health.

infectious disease threats around the world.
