This grant, offered by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), aims to fund the ‘Control of Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) Envision’ Cooperative Agreement. Valued at $250 million over five years, this initiative is for expanding USAID’s support for NTD control in priority countries and advancing global evidence-based policies and standards. It will assist NTD-endemic nations in scaling up integrated preventive chemotherapy to reduce the burden of seven specific neglected tropical diseases. These include lymphatic filariasis, onchocerciasis, schistosomiasis, three soil-transmitted helminthes, and trachoma. The grant also seeks to provide global technical leadership in NTD control.

| This amendment clarifies an additional question received on Friday, April 29, 2011. | May 03, 2011 | |
| The purpose of this amendment is to post responses to questions received by COB, Friday April 8, 2011 (see separate attachment). This amendment also makes minor revisions to the RFA. | May 03, 2011 | |
| Please note that questions regarding this RFA are due by COB today, Friday, April 08, 2011. However, in the event of a government shutdown, USAID will not be able to post responses to the questions until after normal government operations resume. Since we cannot predict the duration of the possible shutdown, we cannot comment at this time as to how the shutdown will affect the timeframe for submission of applications. If there is any change in the due date for application submission, USAID will post an amendment as soon as we are able to do so. | Apr 28, 2011 | |
