Opportunity Information: Apply for 72061220RFA00015
The Client-Oriented Response for HIV Epidemic Control (CORE) Activity is a USAID/Malawi funding opportunity focused on supporting HIV epidemic control through a client-centered approach. USAID is inviting qualified organizations to apply for a cooperative agreement to implement activities that strengthen HIV-related health outcomes. While the notice does not spell out technical program details in the excerpt provided, the title and activity category (Health) indicate the intent is to fund programming that improves how HIV services are delivered and experienced by clients, aligning service delivery with user needs to help drive progress toward epidemic control.
Eligibility for this opportunity is restricted to organizations based in Malawi and regional applicants from Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) countries. USAID notes that applicants must meet eligibility requirements described in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), specifically in Section C, and must submit all required information exactly as requested. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means substantial involvement by USAID during implementation (for example, coordination, technical input, and ongoing oversight), rather than a more hands-off grant structure.
USAID states it intends to make two awards to the applicants that best meet the objectives of the opportunity based on the merit review criteria in the NOFO, and that awards are subject to a risk assessment. The posting lists an award ceiling of USD 80,000,000, which reflects the maximum amount available under the opportunity. Applicants are directed to read the NOFO carefully to understand the activities sought, the application submission requirements, how applications will be scored, and the selection process. The opportunity is posted on Grants.gov and may be amended, so applicants are responsible for checking the site regularly and ensuring they are working from the complete and most current version of the NOFO.
The announcement emphasizes administrative compliance requirements as a condition for award. In particular, applicants must have the required unique entity identifier and complete System for Award Management (SAM) registration requirements (referenced as being detailed in Section D). USAID highlights that SAM registration can take weeks, and encourages applicants to begin registration early to avoid missing deadlines due to processing delays. The notice also includes a standard disclaimer that publication of the opportunity does not obligate the U.S. Government to make an award or to reimburse any costs incurred while preparing or submitting an application.
For communication and submission, all questions must be sent to the USAID/Malawi Office of Acquisition and Assistance at OAA-Malawi-Solicit@usaid.gov, copying gsuya@usaid.gov and smbeya@usaid.gov, by the deadline stated in the NOFO. USAID indicates that responses to timely questions will be shared with all potential applicants through an amendment posted on Grants.gov, which is meant to keep the process fair and transparent. Applications must include both a technical application and a cost application, and must be submitted by the stated deadline to the same email address (OAA-Malawi-Solicit@usaid.gov) addressed to the Supervisory Agreement Officer, Dion Glisan, with the same copied recipients.
Key reference details from the listing include the funding opportunity number 72061220RFA00015, the assistance listing/CFDA number 98.001, the activity category Health, and the original timeline showing a creation date of November 10, 2020 and an original closing date of December 10, 2020.
