Opportunity Summary:
The Global Livestock Climate Change CRSP DRAFT is a USAID discretionary funding opportunity, released as a concept paper, proposing a Collaborative Research Support Program focused on how climate change affects livestock production systems and the connected consequences for animal health, human health, and environmental health. The program is framed around the idea that livestock, people, and the environment operate as three tightly linked and interactive sectors, and that climate change acts as an overarching pressure that can disrupt all three at once. In this framing, the everyday interactions between humans and animals can create or worsen conditions that influence disease dynamics, access to resources, nutrition outcomes, and broader environmental changes, so the proposed research agenda emphasizes both direct and indirect pathways of impact rather than treating livestock issues in isolation.
The opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically implies an active partnership role for the funding agency rather than a hands-off grant model. It falls under the Agriculture activity category and is associated with CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). USAID anticipates making one award under this announcement, with an estimated funding range from a floor of $1,000,000 to a ceiling of $10,000,000, and it indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility is limited to U.S. public and private institutions of higher education, with the announcement noting that additional eligibility clarification may exist in the referenced eligibility text field. The posting date and creation date are both February 22, 2008, and the closing date is March 7, 2008. For access issues or administrative questions about the full announcement, the contact listed is Leona Sasinkova, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 202-712-5723 or by email at lsasinkova@usaid.gov.
