Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2009 Child Survival and Health Grants (CSHG) Program opportunity is a USAID funding announcement built around a clear theme: pushing innovation in how proven, high-impact maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) interventions are delivered in real-world settings. Rather than funding entirely new clinical interventions, the emphasis is on improving delivery strategies, meaning practical ways to reach more people, improve quality, increase uptake, and strengthen systems so interventions actually translate into better health outcomes. This reflects a broader shift in USAID's Child Survival and Health Grants Program toward innovation and technical leadership, aligning the program with the USAID Global Health Bureau's mandate to advance more effective and scalable approaches in global health.
A second major aim of the announcement is to bring in new partners and strengthen the capacity of organizations to support the global Stop Tuberculosis (TB) strategy in targeted countries. In other words, the program is not only looking for MNCH-focused delivery innovation, but also explicitly encouraging applicants who can contribute to TB-related interventions that help countries move toward global TB targets. The opportunity signals USAID's interest in expanding the pool of implementers and encouraging fresh approaches and organizational capabilities, particularly where TB programming can be improved, expanded, or integrated with broader health efforts.
This funding opportunity is issued by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial involvement by the funding agency during implementation (for example, collaboration on technical direction, learning, or monitoring expectations). The funding activity category is health, and the CFDA listing is 98.001, USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas. The opportunity was posted on December 12, 2008, created on December 16, 2008, and the closing date was extended from January 17, 2009 to February 17, 2009, with an archive date of February 20, 2009.
In terms of funding size, awards are expected to fall within a relatively tight range. The award floor is $1,500,000 and the award ceiling is $1,750,000, indicating that USAID anticipated awarding projects of roughly similar scale rather than a wide range of small and large grants. Applicants should also note that cost sharing or matching is required, meaning the recipient organization must contribute a portion of the total project cost from non-federal sources in accordance with the terms described in the full announcement.
Eligibility is limited to specific types of U.S.-based organizations. Applicants may be U.S. Private Voluntary Organizations (PVOs), in any PVO category, or U.S. non-governmental organizations (NGOs) applying only under the New Partner Category. A U.S. PVO is defined by USAID regulations and must meet the conditions of registration described in USAID guidance (including meeting initial registration conditions and ongoing annual standards). Importantly, to apply as a U.S. PVO under this announcement, an organization must already be registered with USAID as a PVO or be in the process of registration at the time it submits its application. U.S. NGOs that do not meet the PVO definition are not excluded entirely, but they are restricted to applying under the New Partner Category, reinforcing the RFA's stated goal of attracting new partners into the program.
