Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a USAID request for information (RFI) tied to a planned future funding competition under the Pandemic Influenza and Other Emerging Threats Program, focused specifically on building a "One Health Workforce." It is being issued by USAID's Global Health Bureau, Office of Health, Infectious Diseases and Nutrition (HIDN). The purpose of the RFI is to solicit public comments on a draft program description that lays out preliminary objectives and design elements for a new activity. In other words, USAID is sharing an early draft of what it intends to fund and is inviting feedback before releasing the formal Request for Applications (RFA) in the coming months.
The draft activity, as described, is aimed at strengthening the workforce needed to prevent, detect, and respond to pandemic influenza and other emerging infectious disease threats using a One Health approach. One Health generally refers to coordinated efforts across human health, animal health, and environmental sectors, recognizing that many emerging threats originate at the human-animal-environment interface. While the notice does not provide full technical details of the draft program design in the excerpt provided, it signals that the project will likely emphasize workforce development, cross-sector collaboration, and practical capacity building that improves preparedness and response for zoonotic and other emerging pathogens.
From a funding and structure standpoint, USAID indicates an anticipated total funding level that will not exceed $50,000,000 over a five-year implementation period, with an award ceiling of $50,000,000 and an award floor of $0. The opportunity category is listed as discretionary, the activity category is health, and the expected number of awards is one, which suggests USAID is considering a single prime implementer that could manage a multi-country or multi-partner effort. The listing includes a CFDA number of 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas) and notes that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning applicants under the eventual RFA should be prepared to contribute some portion of project costs through cash and/or allowable in-kind resources, subject to the final solicitation terms.
Eligibility is broad and includes U.S. private voluntary organizations (PVOs) registered under USAID requirements, other U.S. nonprofit NGOs that are not PVOs, U.S. commercial organizations, non-U.S. NGOs (both nonprofit and for-profit) that are not affiliated with a foreign government, and educational institutions. The notice points U.S. NGOs to the relevant PVO registration framework in 22 CFR 203 and USAID guidance resources for organizations that seek that designation. Because the eligibility category is shown as "Others (see text field...)," it is a reminder that final eligibility, any restrictions, and partnership rules would ultimately be confirmed in the forthcoming RFA rather than in this comment-focused RFI.
It is also clearly stated that this is not an application stage and does not constitute a request for proposals or applications. USAID is not committing to make an award through this RFI, and it will not reimburse any costs associated with preparing or submitting comments or questions. The RFI was originally posted on February 7, 2014, with a current closing date of March 17, 2014, and an archive date of March 28, 2014. For access issues or administrative questions, the point of contact listed is Agreement Officer Boryana Boncheva, with a phone number provided (202-567-5036).
