Advancing Outbreak Detection, Notification, and Response Capacity by Implementing 7-1-7 in Partner Countries

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) supports strengthening country systems to detect, notify, and respond to outbreaks in alignment with the 7-1-7 target. Activities under this award are intended for implementation outside the United States and its territories. Building on previous outbreak experience and other international health emergencies, this NOFO advances American interests by reinforcing systems that protect both the United States and recipient nations. Activities focus on improving early detection of biological threats, timely notification across sectors and borders, and effective response to contain outbreaks before they spread. Efforts include strengthening surveillance, expanding laboratory readiness, enhancing information flows, and improving response operations to reduce health and economic effects. These activities emphasize burden sharing, accountability, and efficiency to ensure benefits to Americans at home and abroad, while supporting recipient nations in achieving long-term self-reliance and stability.
