Opportunity Summary:
The US China Clean Energy and Climate Partnership is a discretionary USAID grant opportunity (issued as a cooperative agreement) intended to launch and support a new environmental partnership program between the United States and China. The central purpose is to advance clean energy solutions that lead to real, measurable, and sustainable reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. In practical terms, the opportunity is framed around building collaboration and implementing activities that directly contribute to lower emissions outcomes through cleaner energy approaches, rather than short-term or purely conceptual efforts.
The solicitation was released by USAID's Regional Development Mission for Asia (USAID/RDMA), with the listing associated with Thailand and USAID Bangkok as the issuing office. The program falls under the Environment funding activity category, and the CFDA number is 98.001 (USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that USAID expects to have substantial involvement during implementation compared with a standard grant, such as coordination on work planning, monitoring, and other program management elements.
The opportunity anticipated making a single award, with an award ceiling of $6,000,000 and an award floor of $1. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility, although applicants sometimes still propose leveraging other resources as a strength depending on the program design.
Eligibility was oriented toward U.S. entities, specifically public or private U.S. educational institutions and non-governmental organizations. The eligibility field is marked as unrestricted in the listing, but the text clarifies that these U.S. institutions and NGOs are the intended eligible applicant types for the Request for Applications, subject to any additional eligibility language contained in the full announcement.
Key administrative dates show the notice was posted on June 26, 2009, with a creation date of July 17, 2009.
