Opportunity Summary:
The Piloting Options for the Sustainable Integration of Target Earthquake Affected Communities in Haiti (POSITEC) Program is a discretionary funding opportunity issued by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) under Funding Opportunity Number SOL OAA 13 000083. It is designed to support efforts connected to community development and the longer-term, sustainable integration of communities affected by Haiti's earthquake, with the funding framed under CFDA 98.004 (Non Governmental Organization Strengthening). The award instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means the funder expects substantial involvement during implementation compared with a standard grant, such as collaboration on program direction, monitoring, or coordination with other related initiatives.
The application process is structured as a two-phase competition. Applicants must first submit a concept paper following the instructions provided in Section IV of the Request for Applications (RFA). USAID will conduct a technical review of these concept papers, and only those judged technically acceptable will be invited to submit a full application. This approach is commonly used to reduce the burden on applicants and the agency by screening for strong alignment and feasibility early, before requiring full proposals and detailed budgets.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on May 16, 2013, with a closing deadline of June 7, 2013 at 4:00 p.m. Washington, DC time (noted in the RFA as DST, but clarified as the same as Washington, DC time). Questions from prospective applicants were due earlier, by May 20, 2013 at 4:00 p.m. Washington, DC time. The listing indicates an award ceiling of $2,000,000 and an award floor of $0, which typically signals that awards could vary significantly in size up to the maximum depending on the proposed approach, scope, and available funds. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for this opportunity, meaning applicants are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility, although applicants sometimes still choose to leverage other resources to strengthen their proposals.
Eligibility is broad. USAID indicates that U.S. or non-U.S. nongovernmental nonprofit organizations, for-profit organizations, and public international organizations (PIOs) may apply, with the specific details referenced in the additional eligibility information within the full announcement. The opportunity is categorized under "Community Development," which fits the program title and focus on sustainable integration of earthquake-affected communities, and suggests programming may involve local systems strengthening, service access, livelihoods, settlement integration, or other community-based recovery and resilience measures consistent with USAID priorities at the time.
For assistance accessing the full announcement, the contact listed is Amanda Downing, Senior Grants Specialist. The notice also includes an archive date of July 7, 2013, indicating the opportunity is no longer active after that point, but the details remain useful for understanding how USAID structured this competition and what it sought to fund.
