Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a USAID (Agency for International Development) draft Request for Applications focused on tuberculosis (TB) research, shared specifically "for comments only." In other words, it was not presented as a finalized competition at the time of posting; it was circulated to gather feedback from interested organizations and technical experts before USAID would potentially finalize requirements, selection criteria, and program design. The stated purpose of the draft RFA is to support TB research that improves the prevention, detection, and management of TB cases, which typically covers work aimed at reducing transmission, finding cases earlier and more accurately, and improving how patients are treated and followed to completion of therapy.
The funding instrument anticipated is a Cooperative Agreement under USAID's health programming authorities (CFDA 98.001, USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). A cooperative agreement usually means substantial involvement by USAID during implementation, such as collaboration on technical direction, coordination with country programs, alignment with global TB strategies, and oversight of key milestones. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and falls under the Health funding activity category, signaling it would support public health and health systems related work rather than, for example, infrastructure or purely humanitarian response.
The funding level listed is large and fixed in the synopsis: an award ceiling of $80,000,000 and an award floor of $80,000,000, which implies the draft envisioned a single award at roughly that total value. Because this is a draft and meant for comment, those numbers should be understood as planning figures that could change when a final announcement is released. The notice also indicates a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would be expected to contribute a portion of resources (cash or allowable in-kind support) toward the overall program; the exact percentage and what counts as match would normally be clarified in the full RFA text.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of applicant entity (such as nonprofits, universities, for-profit firms, partnerships, or other organizations), subject to any additional eligibility conditions that would be spelled out in the full announcement. The posting dates show it was published on March 12, 2008, with a comment/closing date of March 24, 2008, and later archived on April 23, 2008, indicating a short window consistent with collecting input on a draft rather than running a full proposal competition.
For access issues or questions related to the announcement, the contact listed is Ousmane Faye, Agreement Specialist at USAID, with phone number (202) 712-0832 and email ofaye@usaid.gov.
