Opportunity Summary:
RESPOND is a USAID discretionary funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number M/OAA/GH/POP 08 712) issued under the Agency for International Development and categorized as a health-related program under CFDA 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means the awardee should expect substantial involvement from USAID during implementation (for example, ongoing collaboration, approvals, and coordination requirements beyond what is typical in a standard grant). The notice you referenced is specifically Amendment No. 2 to the original Request for Applications (RFA). Its stated purpose is not to introduce a brand-new program description, but to publish USAID responses to questions that applicants submitted about the RESPOND RFA, clarifying requirements and expectations for prospective applicants.
The opportunity has a very large stated maximum potential award amount, with an award ceiling of $240,000,000 and no stated award floor (listed as $0). That ceiling signals the program could support major, multi-country or large-scale activities, though the exact number, size, and structure of awards would normally be defined in the full RFA package and any subsequent amendments. Cost sharing or matching is required, meaning applicants must plan to contribute non-federal resources toward the total project cost, consistent with whatever terms and percentage requirements are laid out in the full solicitation.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. In practical terms, that means a qualifying U.S.-recognized nonprofit can apply, but universities and colleges are not eligible applicants under this specific listing (though they might potentially participate as subrecipients or partners depending on the RFA terms). The opportunity was posted on March 12, 2008, created in the system on April 23, 2008, and reflects a change in closing dates: the original closing date was May 8, 2008, but the current closing date is April 25, 2008, indicating the deadline was moved earlier (applicants would need to follow the current closing date). The archive date is May 25, 2008, which is when the opportunity record was scheduled to be removed from active listings.
For administrative and access issues, the listed point of contact is Alisa Dunn, Agreement Specialist, at (202) 712-0908. The amendment note also indicates that if an applicant has difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically, they should contact her, which implies the complete details, technical requirements, and the full set of questions and answers would be contained in the electronic solicitation package and its amendment documents rather than in the brief synopsis.
