Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity, titled the Health Research Program (Funding Opportunity Number USAID M OAA EGAT 09 643 RFI), is a USAID discretionary grant competition intended to fund the implementation of two related activities: the Health Research Challenge for Impact (HRCI) and the Health Research Challenge for Delivery (HRCD). The core purpose is to support health research efforts that move beyond generating findings and instead emphasize measurable public health impact and effective delivery, as further detailed in Section I of the Request for Applications (RFA). The mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means USAID expects substantial involvement during the life of the award, such as collaborating on planning, monitoring, and key technical decisions, rather than simply providing funds with minimal oversight.
The total funding level is set as a single, fixed award amount: both the award ceiling and award floor are listed as 47,000,000, indicating USAID anticipated making one award at approximately that level rather than a range of possible award sizes. The program falls under the Health funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning applicants would need to contribute a defined portion of project resources (cash and/or allowable in kind contributions) in addition to the federal funding; the exact percentage and rules would normally be specified in the full RFA.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning any type of organization could apply (for example, nonprofits, universities, research institutions, private firms, or other entities), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the announcement. The opportunity was posted and created on February 26, 2009, with an original and final closing date of March 10, 2009, and it was archived on March 11, 2009, so it was a time limited competition that is no longer open. For applicants who needed help accessing the full announcement, the contact provided was Jeannine Beavers, Agreement Specialist at USAID, reachable by phone at (202) 712 0789 or by email at jbeavers@usaid.gov.
