Opportunity Summary:
The Nutrition Collaborative Research Support Program (Nutrition CRSP) is a USAID funding opportunity aimed at supporting a coordinated, international research and outreach effort focused on food and nutrition. USAID is looking for an eligible U.S. college or university to act as the Management Entity (ME) for this program, meaning the awardee would take on the central role of organizing, overseeing, and administering a broader portfolio of nutrition-related research activities and translating findings into practical outreach. The opportunity is issued under the authority of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (as amended), and it is structured as a Leader with Associates (LWA) assistance award, which typically means the main "Leader" award funds program leadership and core management functions while also enabling associated awards or activities that can extend the work into specific countries and regions.
The selected applicant would receive a five-year Cooperative Agreement "Leader Award." As a cooperative agreement (rather than a standard grant), this structure generally signals a higher level of involvement by the funding agency in the program, including collaboration on priorities, oversight, and implementation details. The Management Entity is expected to run a worldwide program, with an emphasis on generating results that are relevant across multiple countries and/or regions rather than being limited to a single location. In practical terms, this suggests responsibilities such as setting research agendas in alignment with USAID objectives, coordinating partnerships among universities and field programs, managing subawards or collaborations, ensuring compliance and reporting, and supporting outreach activities that help move research into policy or practice.
From the funding perspective, USAID listed an estimated total funding amount of $7,500,000 for the opportunity and anticipated making two awards. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, and the activity category is food and nutrition. The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number M OAA EGAT DHWA 10 01 and is associated with CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants should expect to contribute some level of non-federal resources in accordance with the announcement's terms.
Eligibility is limited to certain colleges and universities, specifically those that meet the definition in Section 269(d) of Title XII of the Foreign Assistance Act. The listing notes "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the core eligibility statement makes clear the target applicant pool is higher-education institutions that qualify under that Title XII authority. The opportunity was posted on April 23, 2010, created on May 20, 2010, and had an application closing date of June 23, 2010, with an archive date of July 23, 2010. Two amendments to the announcement were posted (Amendment 01 and Amendment 02), indicating that applicants were expected to review updates that may have adjusted requirements, clarified instructions, or modified program details.
For applicants needing assistance obtaining the full announcement, the contact person listed is Tracy Sando, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 202-712-4866.
