Version History
| Version | Modification Description | Updated Date |
|---|---|---|
| This Amendment is being made to the original USAID STIP APS No.: 7200AA18APS00003 published on March 5, 2018. The original closing date for issuance of addenda under this APS is hereby extended from March 4, 2019 to March 4, 2020. In addition, changes have been made to reflect that this is a USAID/LAB vehicle versus one specific to USAID/LAB/CDR. | Feb 07, 2019 | |
| The purpose of this modification is to complete Amendment 01 to APS 7200AA18APS00003 extending the usage period changing the dates from March 5,2018 through March 4, 2019 to March 5,2018 through March 4, 2020. In addition there have been slight changes made to body language in the APS highlighting Higher Education Institution Engagement. Please note that STIP APS is not a Request for Applications (RFA) or a Request for Proposals (RFP). Rather, the STIP APS requests STIP Concept Notes in response to addenda published to this APS. Based on those Concept Notes, USAID will determine whether to request a full Application from an appropriate partner.
To be competitive under a particular addendum to this APS, Applications must be fully responsive to all directions under this APS document except when specifically noted otherwise in the addenda. |
