Eligibility

| Additional Information on Eligibility: | This RFA is issued to ensure that all interested and qualified organizations have a fair opportunity to submit applications for funding. The following organizations are eligible for the Cooperative Agreement under this RFA: (1)Colleges and Universities: Qualified U.S. and non-U.S. colleges and universities (including minority serving institutions, community colleges, and women’s colleges) may apply for USAID funding under this RFA. USG and USAID regulations generally treat colleges and universities as NGOs, rather than governmental organizations; hence, both public and private colleges and universities are eligible. Non-U.S. colleges and universities in countries that are ineligible for assistance under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended (FAA) or related appropriations acts are ineligible. Universities that are part of the One Health Central and East Africa (OHCEA) or Southeast Asia One Health University Network (SEAOHUN) are ineligible because they are beneficiaries of the One Health Workforce project. (2) Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs): Qualified U.S. and non-U.S. private non-profit organizations may apply for USAID funding under this RFA. (3) For-Profit Organizations: Qualified U.S. and non-U.S. private for-profit organizations may apply for USAID funding under this RFA. Potential for-profit applicants should note that, pursuant to ADS 303.5(k) and 22 CFR 226.81, the payment of fee/profit to the prime recipient under grants and cooperative agreements is prohibited. However, if a prime recipient has a sub-contract with a for-profit organization for the acquisition of goods or services (i.e., if a buyer-seller relationship is created), fee/profit for the sub-contractor is authorized. (4) Private Voluntary Organizations (PVOs): A local or indigenous PVO, which by definition is a non-U.S. PVO operating in the same foreign country in which it is organized, is eligible to receive funding. Local PVOs are not required to register with USAID. In accordance with 2 CFR 203, a U.S. PVO or an “International PVO,” which by definition is a non-U.S. PVO that performs development work in one or more countries other than the country in which it is domiciled, must be registered with USAID to be eligible to receive funding. For more information on registering with USAID as a PVO, please see: http://www.usaid.gov/pvo. (5)Faith-Based Organizations (FBOs): USAID has published regulations on participation by FBOs in Agency programs. This information can be found at: http://www.usaid.gov/work-usaid/partnership-opportunities/faith-based-community-organizations/usaid-rule-participation. PLEASE NOTE: USAID will not accept applications from 1) individuals, 2) Foreign governments and foreign government-owned parastatal organizations, 3) United States Government (USG) departments and agencies (at the federal, state, or local levels – as prime or sub-awardee, and 4) Public International Organizations (PIOs) (as defined by ADS Chapter 308). |
