Opportunity Summary:
The Child Survival and Health Grants Program (CSHGP) Fiscal Year 2012 opportunity is a USAID-funded competitive grant (issued as a cooperative agreement) aimed at supporting international health and development work that improves child survival and related health outcomes. It is administered by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), specifically within the Bureau for Global Health (BGH), Office of Health, Infectious Disease and Nutrition (HIDN). The synopsis makes clear that applicants are expected to implement activities under the CSHGP umbrella, which generally covers programmatic work in overseas settings aligned with USAID global health priorities for children and community health.
This funding opportunity is listed as discretionary and uses the cooperative agreement instrument, meaning USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation compared with a standard grant. The total estimated funding amount is $13,500,000, with an expected eight awards. The award ceiling is listed as $13,500,000 and the award floor is $0, which signals that individual award sizes are not detailed in the synopsis and would normally be clarified in the full announcement. The CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number is 98.001, labeled as USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants should expect to contribute a non-federal share under the rules described in the full announcement.
Eligibility is aimed at organizations with a nonprofit mission and demonstrated capacity in international health and development. The synopsis specifies that USAID is seeking applications from U.S. Private and Voluntary Organizations (PVOs) as well as U.S. and non-U.S. nonprofit, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), with some restrictions that are not detailed in the synopsis itself. The eligibility field explicitly mentions nonprofit U.S. PVOs, nonprofit U.S. NGOs, and nonprofit local and/or national NGOs, indicating that both international and in-country civil society organizations may be eligible depending on the restrictions and requirements laid out in the complete solicitation.
Key logistical details include the posting date of March 15, 2012, and an application deadline of April 16, 2012 (the original and current closing dates are the same). The synopsis repeatedly warns that the full text of the announcement is not included on the synopsis page and that the modification history links do not contain the full solicitation. Applicants are instructed to use the "Full Announcement" link on Grants.gov to access the complete notice and required documents, and then use the "Application" section to download the application package. A narrated Grants.gov tutorial is also provided to help applicants complete and submit applications online.
For applicants who cannot locate the full announcement or have trouble accessing it electronically, the point of contact is Hillary Marshall, Agreement Specialist, reachable at CSHGPFY12@usaid.gov. The synopsis emphasizes emailing that address for specific instructions on locating the full announcement, which is important because the synopsis itself does not provide programmatic details such as technical priorities, target countries, required results frameworks, budget rules, evaluation criteria, or the exact cost-share percentage. Those specifics would be contained in the full funding opportunity announcement and associated application documents.
