Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Behavior Change Communication for Infectious Disease Prevention" is a USAID Regional Development Mission Asia (RDMA) funding announcement focused on strengthening infectious disease prevention efforts through behavior change communication (BCC). USAID is seeking an organization, institution, and/or consortium to provide technical support to both regional and country-level programs addressing HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), tuberculosis (TB), and malaria. The intent is to support programming that improves prevention behaviors and related public health outcomes, with the flexibility to implement activities across the region and within specific countries.
This opportunity is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning the selected recipient would work in close collaboration with USAID, typically with substantial involvement from the agency in planning and oversight. The funding activity category is health, and USAID anticipates making one award. The estimated total funding is up to $36,000,000, which is also listed as the award ceiling, while the award floor is $0. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers barriers for applicants that may not be able to contribute additional non-federal resources.
Geographically, the award is designed to cover region-wide activities and/or work in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS), specifically including Burma (Myanmar), China, Laos, and Thailand. It also allows for work in other USAID non-presence countries in Asia and additional regional activities, giving the recipient broad operational scope. The administering/issuing office is USAID Bangkok, Thailand, under RDMA, which typically supports cross-border and multi-country initiatives in Asia where regional coordination is important for disease control.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning a wide range of applicants may apply (for example, NGOs, universities, research institutions, private firms, and consortia), subject to any additional clarifications that would appear in the full announcement. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). The funding opportunity number is USAID RDMA 486 10 024 RFA, and the posting date is June 22, 2010, with a creation date of July 12, 2010. The application deadline is August 3, 2010 at 4:00 pm Bangkok local time (both the original and current closing dates match).
