Opportunity Information: Apply for 7200AA20RFA00001
The Country Health Information Systems and Data Use (CHISU) opportunity is a USAID-funded cooperative agreement focused on improving how low- and middle-income countries collect, manage, and use health data to make better decisions. The central idea is not just to add new tools or generate more reports, but to strengthen country leadership and long-term capacity so that health information systems reliably produce high-quality data and that data is consistently used for evidence-based planning, budgeting, program improvement, and policy decisions. In practice, CHISU is meant to support countries where USAID already has health programming and help those countries build stronger, more sustainable national systems for health information and decision-making.
The goal of CHISU is to strengthen country capacity and leadership to manage and use health information systems in ways that improve evidence-based decisions. The program emphasizes the full data-to-action cycle: improving the quality of health information at the point where it is generated, strengthening systems that store and manage that information, and building the institutional habits and governance structures that make routine data use normal and expected. The opportunity description highlights a strong focus on institutionalizing evidence-based decision-making, meaning the project is designed to embed data use into standard operating procedures, leadership practices, and national and subnational health system management rather than treating data use as a short-term project activity.
A key feature of CHISU is alignment with host-country priorities. The project is expected to align activities, priorities, and systems with each country’s strategic health objectives and to support a country’s own development trajectory. That framing signals that USAID is looking for approaches that reinforce country ownership, coordinate with national strategies, and build capacity in ways that last beyond the period of performance. It also reflects USAID’s long-standing Global Health Bureau emphasis on using data for decision-making and collaborating closely with host-country counterparts, implying that partnership, local leadership, and harmonization with existing structures will be important themes.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this opportunity was issued by the Agency for International Development (USAID) as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement instrument, which typically means substantial involvement by USAID during implementation compared with a traditional grant. The funding opportunity number is 7200AA20RFA00001 and it falls under the health funding activity category with CFDA number 98.001. The opportunity was broadly open in terms of eligibility, listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full notice). USAID anticipated making a single award, with an award ceiling of up to $200,000,000. The notice was created on October 18, 2019, with an original closing date of November 26, 2019.
Overall, CHISU can be summarized as a large, single-award USAID initiative designed to help partner countries strengthen health information systems and embed routine, high-quality data use into health sector decision-making. It aims to improve the production of reliable health information, strengthen the management and governance of that information, and ensure that data is used consistently to guide programs and policies in line with national health goals.Apply for 7200AA20RFA00001
