Opportunity Summary:
USAID/Georgia (USAID Tbilisi) released a Request for Applications for a one-year Cooperative Agreement called the Health Management Education Activity in Georgia. The program is designed to respond to a pressing workforce problem in Georgia’s health system: an extreme shortage of professionally qualified managers who can run health service organizations and the rapidly expanding private health insurance sector. With Georgia moving toward a predominantly private-sector model for health service delivery, and with private insurers growing quickly, the grant focuses on building the local pipeline of trained leaders who can manage both privatized health care operations and key parts of the public health sector.
The core approach is education and workforce development at the graduate level. Rather than funding direct service delivery, the activity aims to expand opportunities for graduate training in health management and insurance management inside Georgia. The intent is to increase the supply of competent health service managers and health insurance managers who can handle modern administrative and financial responsibilities in a mixed public-private health environment. In practical terms, applicants would be expected to propose an education-focused program that strengthens management capacity through advanced training pathways, helping create a sustainable base of local professionals who can lead facilities, networks, insurers, and related institutions.
This opportunity is funded at a total of $350,000, with an award ceiling and floor both set at $350,000, indicating USAID expected to make a single award for the full amount. Only one award was anticipated. The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means USAID plans to have substantial involvement during implementation (for example, collaboration on workplanning, oversight, and technical direction), as opposed to a more hands-off grant. The program falls under the Health funding activity category and is issued under CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). The legal authority is the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning any type of entity could apply as long as it met any additional eligibility conditions stated in the full announcement. Cost sharing or matching is required, so applicants would need to contribute a portion of resources (cash and/or in-kind, depending on the rules described in the announcement) as part of the total project budget.
Key dates and administrative details are clearly defined. The opportunity was posted June 20, 2008, with an application closing date of August 4, 2008. The anticipated start of implementation was around September 15, 2008. The record notes two amendments to the opportunity: Modification 01 posted June 30, 2008, and Modification 02 posted July 7, 2008, both of which required applicants to consult the full announcement for updated instructions or requirements. The funding opportunity number is 114 08 008, and the opportunity was later archived on September 3, 2008.
For access issues related to the full announcement, the contact listed is Yana Adelberg, Acquisition Specialist at USAID/Caucasus, reachable by phone at 995 32 922 844.
