Opportunity Summary:
The Polio Eradication Project (Funding Opportunity Number RFA OAA 12 000019) is a USAID discretionary funding opportunity under the health sector. It was issued by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), specifically the Global Health Bureau, Office of Maternal and Child Health, to support implementation of a five-year non-governmental organization (NGO) project focused on polio eradication. The award mechanism is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means USAID expects to have substantial involvement during implementation compared to a standard grant, such as participation in planning, coordination, oversight, or technical collaboration.
USAID anticipated making one award under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of up to $38,000,000. The stated award ceiling is $38,000,000 and the award floor is $0, indicating the final award amount would depend on the application’s proposed scope and USAID’s funding decisions. The opportunity also includes a cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were expected to contribute a portion of project costs through cash and/or allowable in-kind support, consistent with the terms described in the full announcement.
Eligibility was open to a range of NGO and PVO entities, including U.S. Private Voluntary Organizations (PVOs), U.S. non-governmental organizations (either nonprofit or for-profit), and non-U.S. non-governmental organizations. The listing notes that additional details and clarifications were provided in the full funding announcement under the eligibility section, which is common when an agency wants to specify documentation requirements (such as PVO registration), partner arrangements, or other conditions that determine whether an organization can apply.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on May 23, 2012, created on June 6, 2012, and had an application deadline (original and current closing date) of June 22, 2012. The archive date was July 22, 2012, meaning it was no longer active after that point. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas), which is the assistance listing category used for many USAID-funded overseas development and health programs.
For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, the designated USAID contact was Boryana Boncheva, Agreement Specialist, reachable at (202) 567-5036 or by email at bboncheva@usaid.gov.
