Opportunity Summary:
The Development Innovation Ventures (DIV) Annual Program Statement (APS) is a USAID funding opportunity designed to solicit and support innovative development solutions under the authority of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (as amended). It is essentially a standing invitation for organizations and individuals to propose projects that align with USAID development objectives, with the APS serving as the central document that lays out what kinds of projects USAID is willing to consider, how to apply, what funding may be available, and how submissions will be reviewed. USAID’s intent is to make the rules of the road clear to prospective applicants so they can shape proposals that fit DIV’s expectations, while also emphasizing that USAID can choose to fund some, all, or none of the applications received.
This opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, and awards may be made either as grants or cooperative agreements, depending on the nature of the proposed work and the level of expected USAID involvement during implementation. The APS describes the application process and requirements, and it also explains the evaluation criteria that USAID will use when scoring and selecting applications. While the public synopsis here does not list the detailed technical priorities, it points applicants to the full APS and additional resources on the DIV website, which is where applicants are expected to find the substantive guidance and any related reference documents.
In terms of who can apply, DIV is open to a broad range of applicant types. Eligible applicants include private and public institutions of higher education, for-profit entities (including those other than small businesses), nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than universities), small businesses, and individuals. The opportunity is identified under CFDA 98.001, USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas. Notably, the synopsis indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning an applicant is not required by default to contribute a specific share of project costs in order to be eligible, though the APS may still discuss how leverage or co-funding is treated in evaluation.
The funding range in the public notice shows a very wide span, with an award floor of 1 and an award ceiling of 25,000,000, reflecting that award sizes can vary significantly depending on the project, stage, and USAID’s decisions. The APS was posted on April 15, 2013, with an original and current closing date of April 15, 2014, and an archive date of May 15, 2014. This timeline suggests it was structured as an annual program statement with a defined submission window for that cycle.
USAID also sets strict communication and submission rules to protect the fairness of the competition. Applicants are directed to use DIV@usaid.gov for all communications and inquiries, and to submit applications only to DIVApplications@usaid.gov. Submissions sent through other channels, including Grants.gov, are explicitly rejected and will not be considered. In addition, USAID notes that it cannot accept meeting requests about potential applications, again to maintain an open and equitable process for all potential applicants. After the application closing date, the Agreement Specialist becomes the sole point of contact for questions, and the APS provides DIV@usaid.gov as that contact route. Applicants are encouraged to consult www.usaid.gov/div for further guidance and materials linked to the APS.
