Opportunity Summary:
The "CSHGP Draft RFA for Comments Only" is a draft Request for Applications released by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), specifically from the Bureau for Global Health within the Office of Health, Infectious Disease and Nutrition (HIDN). The notice is presented as a discretionary funding opportunity and, as a draft RFA, it is intended for public review and feedback rather than serving solely as a final solicitation. It relates to the Child Survival Health Grant Programs (CSHGP), which fall under the broader health funding activity category. The draft status and the explicit "for comments only" framing indicate USAID was seeking input from potential applicants and stakeholders before finalizing the official competitive announcement.
The anticipated funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means that if awards are made under a subsequent final announcement, USAID would expect to have substantial involvement during implementation (for example, through technical collaboration, oversight, and coordination requirements), as opposed to a standard grant with less agency engagement. The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning recipients would be expected to contribute a portion of project costs through non-federal resources, consistent with the final RFA terms.
Key dates show the posting and creation date as November 21, 2007, with an original and current closing date of December 5, 2007, and an archive date of January 4, 2008. The relatively short comment window suggests USAID was on a tight timeline to collect feedback and move toward a finalized funding announcement. The funding opportunity number is listed as "TBD1," indicating a placeholder identifier commonly used when an announcement is still in draft form.
In terms of funding range, the listed award ceiling is $1,500,000 and the award floor is $0. The ceiling signals the maximum anticipated federal amount per award under the program parameters described in the draft, while the $0 floor is often used in federal listings when a minimum award size is not specified at the draft stage or may vary based on final program design, availability of funds, and proposal scope.
Eligibility is marked as "Unrestricted," meaning the opportunity is broadly open to any type of entity, subject to any additional limitations or clarifications that might appear in the full draft text under an "Additional Information on Eligibility" section. In practice, this typically implies that nonprofits, for-profits, universities, faith-based organizations, and other qualified entities could potentially participate, assuming they meet USAID requirements and any program-specific eligibility conditions that might be added in the final solicitation.
