Eligibility Criteria
This competition is open to any qualified research, educational, governmental, private sector, or nonprofit organization that either has or that collaborates with an organization that has a Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS number) and is registered in the System for Award Management (SAM).
They strongly encourage proposals from and collaboration with U.S. Minority-Serving Institutions. These include, but are not limited to, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Predominantly Black Institutions, Hispanic Serving Institutions, Tribal Colleges and Universities, and Asian American, Native Alaskan, and Pacific Islander Serving Institutions.
For proposals selected for funding, UF will establish a subaward with the lead organization in the applying consortium, which will coordinate all activities in the target country, including execution of appropriate agreements with all collaborating partner(s). They encourage, but do not require, target country organizations to be the lead organization. If requested, UF can issue a separate subaward directly to a US or international sub-partner organization when a target country organization is the prime or lead member of the applying consortium. However, the limit of direct subaward contracts per project from UF is two.
The lead organization is responsible for implementing the project, monitoring progress, ensuring compliance with UF and USAID rules and guidelines, managing funds appropriately, collating and presenting results, and submitting progress and final reports. The lead organization will be responsible for fulfilling all USAID requirements and submitting data and reports to the ME. This includes responsibilities related to Monitoring and Evaluation, Open Data Management, Knowledge Sharing, and Environmental Management and Mitigation measures. The lead organization will also need to ensure compliance with the Branding Strategy and Marking Plan of the LSIL. The ME will provide oversight to the lead organization, and through it to its subawardees, on matters that are technical (e.g., by giving feedback on work plans and progress reports, and by monitoring ongoing field and other activities), administrative (e.g., verifying quality of reporting), and financial (e.g., reviewing financial reports, and giving approvals for procurement and travel).
