Opportunity Summary:
The USAID Child Blindness Program (CBP) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PGRD 14 0002) is a discretionary USAID grant intended to support practical, on-the-ground activities that expand access to quality eye care services for children and strengthen pediatric eye care knowledge. The core purpose is twofold: first, to increase the number of children who actually receive appropriate, high-quality eye care, and second, to improve what providers and programs know about pediatric eye care by encouraging innovation and the use of best practices. In other words, the program is looking for proposals that do more than deliver services; it also wants approaches that improve how pediatric eye care is understood and delivered, potentially through new methods, better systems, or improved standards of care.
This opportunity was posted on November 24, 2014, and applications were due by December 18, 2014, with the archive date listed as January 17, 2015. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $250,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which generally makes it more accessible to applicants that do not have funds to contribute as a match.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity, although applicants are directed to consult Part III (Eligibility) of the Request for Application (RFA) for any specific conditions or clarifications that may apply. The funding activity category is listed under Food and Nutrition / Health, reflecting that the work is positioned within USAID's broader health programming priorities.
Applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement were instructed to contact Doug Carpenter at 703-409-1160.
