Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2010 Child Survival and Health Grants Program (CSHGP) funding opportunity (USAID M OAA GH HSR 10 403) is a USAID discretionary cooperative agreement competition aimed at improving how proven health interventions are delivered, rather than simply funding more of the same services. The central theme is innovation paired with operations research, meaning applicants are expected to test, measure, and refine practical delivery strategies for high impact maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) interventions. USAID is signaling a program shift toward technical leadership and evidence generation, with the goal of identifying approaches that can be replicated and scaled in real-world settings.
In addition to MNCH innovation and operations research, the RFA explicitly seeks to bring in new partners and strengthen partner capacity to support the global Stop Tuberculosis (TB) strategy in targeted countries. The intent is to help countries move closer to international TB targets by improving the effectiveness, reach, and implementation of TB-related interventions. In practice, a competitive application would likely connect proposed innovations to measurable improvements in service uptake, quality, coverage, and outcomes, and show how learning from the work will inform broader policy or program decisions.
USAID anticipated making about 8 awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding level of $13.5 million. Individual awards could be as large as $1.75 million (award ceiling), and the opportunity carries a cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients must contribute resources alongside USAID funding. The funding activity category is listed under Food and Nutrition/Health, reflecting the broader global health scope even though the narrative emphasis is on MNCH delivery strategies and TB programming improvements.
Eligibility is focused on U.S.-based organizations, with specific rules depending on organizational type. U.S. Private Voluntary Organizations (PVOs) are eligible, but they must meet USAID’s regulatory definition and be registered (or actively in the process of registering) as a U.S. PVO at the time of application submission. Other U.S. non-governmental organizations that do not meet the PVO definition may apply only under the “New Partner†category. The New Partner category is restricted to applicants (and their proposed subcontractors or subgrantees) that have received no more than $5 million in total direct U.S. Government funding over the five fiscal years before the application due date, with exclusions for emergency/disaster assistance and for funds received only as a subcontractor or subgrantee. The broader eligibility list in the notice also references various government entities, nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), tribal governments and organizations, independent school districts, for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and individuals, but the controlling eligibility language for this specific program centers on U.S. PVO status and the New Partner limitations.
Key timeline details show the opportunity was posted January 29, 2010, created February 24, 2010, with the original closing date of March 22, 2010, later extended to March 29, 2010. The archive date is April 21, 2010. For questions or access issues, the listed contact is Jeannine Beavers, Agreement Specialist at USAID (202-712-0789, jbeavers@usaid.gov).

Is this opportunity only about maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH)?
No. While MNCH delivery innovation and operations research are central, the RFA also explicitly seeks activities that bring in new partners and strengthen partner capacity to support the global Stop TB strategy and improve TB-related intervention effectiveness, reach, and implementation.
How should an application connect innovation to measurable results?
