Universities that are part of the One Health Central and East Africa (OHCEA) or Southeast Asia One Health University Network (SEAOHUN) are ineligible because they are beneficiaries of the One Health Workforce project.

Opportunity Summary:
The Emerging Pandemic Threats Program 2, PREDICT 2 (Funding Opportunity Number RFA-OAA-14-000019) is a USAID discretionary funding opportunity that supports work aimed at reducing the risk of future pandemics by improving how the world identifies and understands zoonotic viruses with pandemic potential. The core purpose of the project is to strengthen characterization of biological, behavioral, and ecological risks so that researchers and public health partners can better pinpoint where and how dangerous viruses are most likely to evolve, spill over from animals to people, amplify after introduction, and spread across populations. In practical terms, the opportunity is centered on building a clearer evidence base around which geographic locations and epidemiological zones pose the highest risk, which animal-animal and animal-human contact points are most consequential, and which environmental conditions most strongly shape the emergence and transmission of zoonotic viral threats.
The award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which typically signals a high level of involvement by the funding agency during implementation compared with a standard grant. The activity category is Health, and USAID anticipated making one award under this announcement. The estimated total funding level is up to $100,000,000, with an award ceiling of $100,000,000 and an award floor of $0, indicating flexibility in final award size depending on the selected application and negotiated scope. The listing is associated with CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning applicants were expected to contribute a defined portion of project costs through cash and/or in-kind support consistent with the solicitation’s terms.
The competition was open to a wide range of organizational types, reflecting USAID’s intent to attract experienced implementers and research partners from academia, civil society, and the private sector. Eligible applicants included qualified U.S. and non-U.S. colleges and universities (including public and private institutions, minority-serving institutions, community colleges, and women’s colleges), non-governmental organizations (nonprofit), private for-profit organizations (with an important restriction that fee/profit is prohibited for the prime recipient under grants and cooperative agreements, though profit can be earned by for-profit subcontractors in a buyer-seller relationship for goods and services), private voluntary organizations (including local/indigenous PVOs and U.S./international PVOs subject to USAID registration rules), and faith-based organizations under USAID’s applicable participation regulations. At the same time, several categories were explicitly excluded: individuals; foreign governments and foreign government-owned parastatal entities; U.S. government departments and agencies at any level (federal, state, or local) as prime or sub-awardee; and public international organizations as defined by USAID policy. There were also specific eligibility limits for certain university networks: universities that were part of the One Health Central and East Africa (OHCEA) or Southeast Asia One Health University Network (SEAOHUN) were not eligible because they were already beneficiaries under the One Health Workforce project, and non-U.S. universities in countries deemed ineligible for assistance under the Foreign Assistance Act and related appropriations were also ineligible.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on April 24, 2014, with an application deadline of June 5, 2014. Applications were required to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov by 5:00 pm Washington, DC time on the closing date. The record shows a creation date of May 16, 2014 and an archive date of July 5, 2014. USAID identified agreement specialists as points of contact for applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement.
Overall, the PREDICT 2 opportunity is best understood as a large-scale, USAID-supported effort to sharpen early warning and risk understanding for zoonotic viral emergence by focusing on the real-world conditions that drive spillover: place-based risk, patterns of contact between animals and humans, and environmental and behavioral drivers that increase the likelihood that a virus will jump species, circulate, and potentially become a global public health emergency.
