Only one Concept note per organization/institution will be accepted

Funding Opportunity Description
The USAID John Ogonowski and Doug Bereuter Farmer-to-Farmer Program (F2F) promotes sustainable, broad-based economic growth in the agricultural sector as well as understanding by the public -- both in the United States and overseas -- of the importance of international development issues and the role of USAID in addressing them. F2F introduces innovation and develops local capacity for more productive, profitable, sustainable and equitable agricultural systems while providing opportunity for people-to-people interaction in agricultural development activities. F2F has four main objectives:

• Increase agricultural sector productivity and profitability;
• Improve conservation and sustainable use of environmental and natural resources; 
• Expand agricultural sector access to financial services; and/or 
• Strengthen agricultural sector institutions.  

F2F Programs build institutions and transfer technology and management expertise to link small farmers with markets that exploit comparative advantages in production, processing and marketing. Activities are varied and conform to country needs and strategic objectives. Specific F2F projects align with or support USAID Mission strategies and objectives or those of other USG programs in a given country.  

U of A has an existing agreement with the Bureau of Humanitarian Affairs (BHA), "Humanitarian Assistance Technical Support (HATS)". As such, U of A does not intend to submit responses to ANY requests for applications from BHA technical teams. This is particularly true for Disaster Data, Assessments, and Information Management Teams.

Through this umbrella APS, USAID aims to provide broad flexibility for the research and higher education community and connected organizations to collaborate with USAID, each other, and local institutions to build partnerships and support an enabling environment for addressing key development challenges in a sustainable manner. This umbrella APS: (A) describes the types of activities for which Applications will be considered under any forthcoming Addenda; (B)

describes the funding available and the process and requirements for submitting Applications; (C) explains the overall criteria for evaluating Applications; and (D) refers prospective applicants to relevant documentation available on the internet.

USAID/ITR anticipates awarding multiple grants and/or cooperative agreements as a result of this APS through the use of published subsequent Addenda (specific calls for Concept Notes). However, publishing this APS does not commit USAID to publish any specific Addenda or make any awards.

The EXPLORE APS is not a Request for Applications (RFA) or a Request for Proposals (RFP). Rather, the EXPLORE APS requests Concept Notes in response to Addenda published to this APS. Based on Concept Note(s) submitted in response to specific Addenda opportunities, USAID will determine whether to request a Full Application from an appropriate partner.

No Applicants // Limit: 2 // Tickets Available: 2 

*The close date will be updated after the official RFA is posted.
One USO may submit separate applications for a maximum of two OSIs.

he United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is seeking applications for cooperative agreements and grants from qualified entities to implement the American Schools and Hospitals Abroad program.

ASHA provides assistance to overseas schools, libraries, hospital centers , and centers of excellence to highlight American ideas and practices, to provide concrete illustrations of the generosity of the American people, to further USG public diplomacy, and to catalyze collaboration between U.S. citizens and citizens of other countries.

ASHA awards grants and cooperative agreements to existing partnerships between U.S. not-for-profit non-governmental organizations and institutions overseas founded or sponsored by United States citizens (referred to as “Overseas Institutions,” or “OSIs”). These partnerships enable OSIs to benefit from the expertise and experience of USOs while ensuring projects are locally owned and sustained. These partnerships help mitigate investment and construction risk, and contribute to sustained returns.
