Consolidated into 93.989

The Department of Health and Human Services Public Health Service ran the Consolidated program (CFDA 93.934) that funded international research collaboration between U.S. and foreign scientists, with the most recent grant award dated September 15, 2006.

This program has not been active for twenty years. Award activity ended in 2006 after a decade-long decline—the program disbursed 224 awards in 2002 but only 106 by 2006. No grant opportunities are currently posted. The program appears to have been consolidated into CFDA 93.989 and is no longer accepting applications.

During its active period, the program funded international research partnerships on infectious disease and public health topics. Representative recent awards supported dengue hemorrhagic fever risk factor research in Sri Lanka, cervical cancer prevention research in Panama, and collaborative research efforts on neurological conditions. Award descriptions reference "aid research efforts between U.S. and foreign scientists by providing grants."

The portfolio was almost entirely Project Grants (99 percent of 838 awards), with three Block Grants and two Cooperative Agreements. All funding came from the Department of Health and Human Services Public Health Service, which issued 833 of 838 awards totaling $32.1 million in federal dollars obligated.

Combined federal dollars obligated across the entire program history totaled $34.1 million. Individual awards in the final disbursement cycle (February through September 2006) ranged from approximately $4 thousand to $51 thousand, with most falling in the $31 thousand to $39 thousand band. A two-year Block Grant for dengue hemorrhagic fever research in Sri Lanka obligated $34,881, and a Block Grant on cervical cancer prevention in Panama obligated $34,577.

Do not pursue this program. It consolidated into another assistance listing two decades ago and accepts no new applications.
