Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0007198
The grant opportunity titled "Diminishing Dengue in the Indo-Pacific with Climate Services" is a U.S. Department of State initiative (Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs) focused on reducing dengue risk by combining public health practice with climate information. The central idea is to help countries anticipate and respond to climate-sensitive infectious disease threats, while also improving broader resilience to climate change and extreme weather. Rather than treating dengue outbreaks as unpredictable events, the project aims to turn available health and climate data into practical forecasting tools that can guide earlier, better targeted public health action.
The project is designed to work intensively with one to two countries in the Indo-Pacific region that experienced major dengue outbreaks in 2019 and that do not currently have an operational early warning system for dengue. The emphasis on 2019 is important because recent outbreaks typically produce timely, relevant datasets (case counts, geographic patterns, timing, severity, and related surveillance information) that can be analyzed alongside climate datasets. By pairing these sources, the implementer is expected to develop an evidence-based predictive model that links weather and climate conditions to dengue risk. That predictive model is intended to serve as the technical foundation for a country-level early warning system going forward, meaning the project is not just about analysis, but about creating something that can be institutionalized and used routinely.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this was a discretionary opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement, which usually means the agency expects to stay actively involved during implementation rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The opportunity number is SFOP0007198, listed under assistance listing/CFDA 19.017, with an anticipated single award. The maximum award amount (ceiling) is $98,765. The opportunity was posted on July 10, 2020, with an original closing date of August 21, 2020. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement.
In practical terms, an awardee under this opportunity would be expected to help partner countries strengthen the capacity to prevent and respond to dengue under changing climate conditions by improving decision support: building or adapting predictive models, integrating climate services into health planning, and laying the groundwork for early warning processes that public health officials can actually use. The desired end state is a more proactive dengue response system in selected Indo-Pacific countries, where climate and health data are brought together to forecast risk and trigger earlier interventions, reducing outbreak impacts while also strengthening climate resilience in the health sector.Apply for SFOP0007198

Which U.S. government office is offering this opportunity?
This is a U.S. Department of State initiative through the Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs.
What is the main purpose of the project?
The project aims to reduce dengue risk by combining public health practice with climate information, so countries can better anticipate and respond to climate-sensitive infectious disease threats and improve resilience to climate change and extreme weather.
What problem is the project trying to solve?
Rather than treating dengue outbreaks as unpredictable events, the project focuses on turning available health and climate data into practical forecasting tools that enable earlier and better targeted public health action.
What region is this project focused on?
The project is focused on the Indo-Pacific region.
How many countries are expected to be supported?
The project is designed to work intensively with one to two countries.
What country criteria are emphasized in the description?
The project targets countries in the Indo-Pacific that (1) experienced major dengue outbreaks in 2019 and (2) do not currently have an operational early warning system for dengue.
Why does the opportunity emphasize dengue outbreaks in 2019?
The emphasis on 2019 is tied to the expectation that recent outbreaks tend to produce timely and relevant datasets (such as case counts, geographic patterns, timing, severity, and surveillance information) that can be analyzed alongside climate datasets.
What types of data does the project expect to use?
The description points to using health data (including dengue case counts and surveillance information) together with climate datasets, and analyzing them in combination.
What is expected to be developed as part of the work?
The implementer is expected to develop an evidence-based predictive model that links weather and climate conditions to dengue risk.
How is the predictive model intended to be used?
The predictive model is intended to serve as the technical foundation for a country-level dengue early warning system that can be institutionalized and used routinely.
Is the project only about research and analysis?
No. The description indicates the project is meant to create something operational that supports routine decision-making, not just conduct analysis.
What does "climate services" mean in the context of this opportunity?
Based on the description, climate services refers to using climate and weather information in a practical way to support public health planning and decision support for dengue prevention and response.
What kinds of activities might an awardee be expected to carry out?
Activities described include building or adapting predictive models, integrating climate services into health planning, improving decision support, and laying the groundwork for early warning processes that public health officials can use.
What is the intended end state of the project?
The desired end state is a more proactive dengue response system in selected Indo-Pacific countries, where climate and health data are integrated to forecast risk and trigger earlier interventions, reducing outbreak impacts and strengthening climate resilience in the health sector.
What type of award mechanism is used?
The opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement.
What does it mean that this is a cooperative agreement?
The description notes that a cooperative agreement usually means the agency expects to stay actively involved during implementation rather than only issuing funds and stepping back.
