Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Diagnosis and Management of Severe Febrile Illness" is a USAID Tanzania funding solicitation focused on strengthening health services related to identifying and treating severe fever-related illnesses. It was released by USAID in Dar es Salaam as a formal Request for Applications (RFA) after an earlier draft version circulated in August 2010. Feedback and clarifying questions collected during the draft phase were used to shape the final RFA, and the announcement notes that supporting materials are attached, including questions and answers submitted before and during an RFA conference as well as a list of conference participants. The overall intent is to fund a substantial, single-award activity aimed at improving how severe febrile illness is diagnosed and managed, which typically implies interventions such as better clinical decision-making, improved diagnostic capacity, and stronger treatment practices within supported health systems.
From a funding and award structure perspective, this is a discretionary opportunity using a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the implementing organization would generally be expected to work closely with USAID, with a higher level of agency involvement than a standard grant. The activity falls under the Health funding category and is listed under CFDA 98.001, which is the broad authority for USAID foreign assistance programs overseas. USAID anticipated making one award, and the funding is structured as a single fixed amount at the top end: the estimated total funding is USD 24,000,000, with an award ceiling of USD 24,000,000 and an award floor also set at USD 24,000,000. This effectively signals that USAID expected one recipient to implement the full program at the full funding level rather than distributing funds across multiple smaller awards.
In terms of applicant eligibility, the opportunity was open to registered non-governmental organizations, whether for-profit or not-for-profit. The eligibility field indicates "Others" with additional clarification provided in an eligibility information section, which states that any registered NGO could apply. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility, although applicants in similar competitions sometimes still describe leveraged resources or complementary investments to strengthen their proposed approach.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted on September 23, 2010, and created in the system on October 17, 2010. The original closing date was October 22, 2010, but USAID issued an amendment extending the deadline to October 29, 2010. The amendment also corrected a typo in the first question-and-answer entry that had incorrectly indicated the closing date was unchanged. The opportunity later moved to archive status on November 28, 2010, which usually indicates the submission period had ended and the agency was no longer accepting applications under that specific announcement.
For organizations that needed help accessing the full announcement or attachments electronically, the point of contact listed was Sam Kiranga, an Acquisition Specialist at USAID Tanzania in Dar es Salaam, with a provided telephone number for support. Overall, the notice describes a large, single-recipient USAID health initiative in Tanzania, refined after a draft and stakeholder Q and A process, aimed at improving the diagnosis and clinical management of severe febrile illness through a cooperative agreement mechanism and a full program budget of $24 million.
