Opportunity Summary:
MEASURE Evaluation Phase IV is a USAID discretionary funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SOL OAA 14 000005) intended to support stronger health information systems in partner countries so that governments, programs, and stakeholders can produce and use high-quality data for decision-making. The award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means USAID anticipates substantial involvement during implementation, such as collaboration on technical direction, monitoring, and coordination with other USAID-supported efforts. The activity sits within the Health funding category and is designed to improve how health information is generated, managed, analyzed, and ultimately applied at local, national, and global levels.
The opportunity is framed as a Leader with Associates Cooperative Agreement. In practical terms, this indicates a central, overarching “Leader” award that can be complemented by “Associate” awards or agreements aligned to country or regional needs. The overarching focus is system strengthening: building host country capacity and improving routine and survey-based data systems so that health programs can track performance, allocate resources more effectively, and demonstrate results. While the notice summary is brief, the stated intent points to core evaluation and data-use functions often associated with MEASURE-type programs, including improving data quality, strengthening monitoring and evaluation practices, and promoting evidence-based decision-making.
USAID expected to make one award under this solicitation, with an estimated total funding amount of up to $181,000,000 and an award ceiling of $181,000,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, which generally reduces the financial burden on applicants and can broaden participation. Eligibility is described as “unrestricted,” meaning the competition is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility details that may be included in the full announcement package.
Key dates listed in the source information include a posted date of October 15, 2013, a creation date of December 11, 2013, and a submission deadline referenced in the narrative as January 28, 2014. The record also shows multiple closing-related dates (including a current closing date of December 20, 2013, and an archive date of December 21, 2013), which suggests there may have been amendments or administrative updates; applicants would need to rely on the full announcement package on Grants.gov for the definitive deadline and instructions. The notice emphasizes reviewing the full attachment carefully and submitting the application exactly as required, noting that the application package is provided as “one consolidated document.”
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Erica Bigelow, Contract Specialist, at (202) 567-5005. The CFDA number associated with this opportunity is 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas), confirming it is part of USAID’s overseas assistance portfolio.
