Opportunity Summary:
The Knowledge for Health (K4H) Leader with Associate Cooperative Agreement opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number USAID M OAA GH 08 1111) is a discretionary health-focused funding announcement issued by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means USAID anticipates substantial involvement during implementation, such as collaboration on planning, monitoring, technical direction, or coordination with other USAID-funded efforts. The formal program description referenced in the listing points applicants to "Amendment No. 1" as the controlling document for the details, indicating that key requirements, scope, or instructions were provided or updated through that amendment rather than in the brief synopsis.
This opportunity is a "Leader with Associate" mechanism. In USAID terms, that usually signals a two-part arrangement: a central "Leader" award that establishes an overarching program, technical approach, and management platform, plus the ability for USAID missions or bureaus to add "Associate Awards" later for country- or region-specific activities that align with the Leader award's objectives. Practically, that structure is designed to let USAID scale work across multiple settings while maintaining a consistent technical framework and shared learning across activities.
The award size is substantial, with an award ceiling listed at $34,600,000 and no stated award floor (shown as $0). A ceiling communicates the maximum anticipated amount across the agreement, often across multiple years and potentially inclusive of later associate awards, depending on how USAID defines the ceiling in the amendment. The listing also specifies a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants should expect to propose and document non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind) as part of their application, subject to the rules and thresholds described in the full announcement and amendment.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the competition is open to any type of entity (for example, nonprofits, universities, private firms, or other organizations), as long as the applicant meets any additional eligibility conditions set out in the full text under "Additional Information on Eligibility." The opportunity was posted May 21, 2008, created in the system June 24, 2008, and had an original and current closing date of June 30, 2008, with an archive date of July 30, 2008. Those dates indicate this was a time-bound competitive call that has since closed and been archived.
Because the public synopsis does not include narrative program goals, required activities, deliverables, evaluation criteria, or submission instructions beyond the reference to Amendment No. 1, the amendment is effectively the primary source for understanding what USAID sought under K4H, how applications were to be structured, what budget period and performance period applied, what cost share level was required, and how USAID planned to make an award. For applicants who could not access the electronic materials, USAID provided a point of contact: Alisa Dunn (202 712 0908, adunn@usaid.gov).
