Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Mission to India offered a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Training Seminars on Safe Medicine" (Funding Opportunity Number NDRFP14 05) to address the serious risks posed by substandard, spurious, falsely labeled, falsified, and counterfeit medical products. These products can undermine treatment, trigger harmful side effects, create major health hazards, and in some cases contribute to preventable deaths. The central aim of the grant was to push accurate "safe medicine" information out more quickly and more widely in India by organizing focused, practical training workshops for frontline health care workers.
Under this opportunity, the selected grant recipient was expected to run a series of training seminars delivered across multiple hospitals and multiple community settings, rather than a single one-off event. The trainings were meant to be directly relevant to day-to-day clinical and client-facing work, covering issues such as how to recognize and respond to spurious or suspect drugs, how to counsel clients in a clear and effective way, and broader safe medicine practices that health workers can apply in their routines. The intended audiences were multidisciplinary and explicitly included doctors, nurses, counselors, pharmacists, and other health personnel who interact directly with patients or clients, reflecting the idea that medication safety depends on consistent messaging and vigilance across the entire care team.
A distinctive feature of the program was its emphasis on public awareness through media amplification. Applicants were instructed to invite journalists to attend the training sessions so that the workshops and their key messages would receive press coverage and reach beyond the immediate participants. In other words, the project was not only about improving professional practice inside hospitals and clinics, but also about stimulating wider community understanding and attention through news reporting.
Proposals were expected to be specific and operational. Applicants needed to state how many hospitals and communities they planned to reach, what exact topics and modules would be included in the workshops, and what concrete steps they would take to maximize press coverage. This implies that competitive applications would likely present a clear roll-out plan (locations, schedule, participant targets), a structured curriculum (for example, identification of counterfeit medicines, reporting pathways, patient counseling scenarios), and a media plan (press invitations, coordination with outlets, and strategies to encourage accurate, prominent coverage).
The award was small and tightly defined in financial terms: the estimated total funding was USD 14,000, with an award ceiling and floor both set at USD 14,000, and only one award expected. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument type was a grant, categorized under the Health activity area, and associated with CFDA number 19.040 (Public Diplomacy Programs). Eligibility was limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted June 11, 2014, originally set to close July 11, 2014, and later extended to August 8, 2014 (a 30-day extension), with an archive date of September 12, 2014. The opportunity listed the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi as the point of contact, with applicants directed to contact the Grant Applications Manager at the U.S. Embassy, New Delhi if they had difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically.
