Opportunity Summary:
The Greater Mekong Subregion Responses to Infectious Diseases (GMS RID) funding opportunity is a USAID-requested call for proposals to support infectious disease programming across the Greater Mekong Subregion. The intent is to fund work that can be implemented either region-wide and/or within multiple GMS countries, strengthening infectious disease efforts that operate across borders and complement country-level programs. The geographic scope specifically includes Cambodia, China, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam, with the possibility of including Burma (Myanmar) at a later stage.
USAID is offering this support through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the awardee should expect a collaborative relationship with USAID during implementation rather than operating entirely independently. The opportunity sits within the health sector and is administered through USAID in Bangkok, Thailand (Thailand USAID Bangkok / USAID RDMA). It is structured as a discretionary funding opportunity and is open to a wide range of applicants, with eligibility described as unrestricted, provided applicants meet any conditions that may be further detailed in the full announcement. USAID is explicitly seeking applications from U.S. or non-U.S. non-governmental organizations (NGOs), including consortia, signaling that partnerships and multi-organization approaches are acceptable and potentially encouraged for a regional program of this kind.
Only one award is expected under this solicitation, making it a competitive, single-recipient opportunity. The stated award ceiling is $1,000,000, with a nominal award floor of $1, indicating the final award size is expected to be determined by the proposed scope and USAID’s funding decisions up to the maximum amount. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of receiving the award. The program is associated with CFDA number 98.001, which corresponds to USAID foreign assistance for programs overseas.
Key dates provided in the notice indicate the opportunity was posted on May 11, 2009, with a closing deadline of June 19, 2009 at 4:00 pm Bangkok time (and the current closing date matches the original closing date).
