Opportunity Information: Apply for 72052725RFA00001
The Strengthening Systems for Health Security Activity (SSHS) is a USAID/Peru funding opportunity released as a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) under Request for Applications (RFA) number 72052725RFA00001. It is designed to support work in the health sector that strengthens systems tied to health security, and it will be implemented through a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation (for example, collaboration on technical direction, coordination, and oversight compared with a standard grant). The opportunity is administered by USAID in Peru (USAID-Lima) and is listed under CFDA 98.001, which is commonly used for USAID foreign assistance.
USAID indicates it plans to make a single award to the applicant that best meets the stated objectives, based on the merit review criteria described in the NOFO and subject to a risk assessment. Eligibility is unrestricted, meaning USAID is not limiting the competition to a specific category of organization; in practice, this generally opens the door to a wide range of qualified entities such as nonprofits, NGOs, universities, private firms, and potentially local or international organizations, as long as they meet the requirements laid out in the full announcement. The anticipated maximum funding amount (award ceiling) is listed as $19,000,000, with one expected award.
The timeline is clearly defined and uses Lima time. The NOFO issue date is October 18, 2024. USAID scheduled a Business Day on November 7, 2024 in Lima, Peru (venue to be confirmed), intended mainly as a networking and partnership-building event where USAID can present the activity objectives and the Government of Peru can share related priorities. USAID emphasizes that this event is not meant to function as a formal question-and-answer session for the application itself, but rather as a way to encourage collaboration among prospective applicants and stakeholders across sectors. Interested organizations must RSVP by October 30, 2024 at 5:00 PM Lima time by emailing Jose Castagnola at JCastagnola@usaid.gov with a specific subject line format: "USAID NOFO 72052725RFA00001 Organization Name - Business Day."
For the application process, questions about the NOFO must be submitted by November 15, 2024 at 5:00 PM Lima time. USAID plans to respond to timely questions by issuing an amendment to the notice on Grants.gov so that all potential applicants have access to the same clarifications. The application deadline is December 20, 2024 at 5:00 PM Lima time. Because USAID notes the funding opportunity may be amended, applicants are expected to monitor Grants.gov regularly to ensure they are working from the most current version of the NOFO and have downloaded the full set of materials.
The announcement also highlights standard federal compliance and registration requirements. Unless an exception applies under 2 CFR 25.110, applicants must obtain a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and register in SAM.gov, which can take weeks and should be started early. Technical issues related to Grants.gov registration or access are directed to the Grants.gov Support Center (phone 1-800-518-4726, email support@grants.gov), including support for applicants who require assistive technology.
Finally, USAID includes the usual federal disclaimer that issuing the NOFO does not guarantee an award and does not obligate the US Government to pay any proposal development or submission costs. All costs to prepare and submit an application are the applicant's responsibility, and applications are submitted at the applicant's risk. The notice is signed by Dion Glisan, Supervisory Regional Agreement Officer at USAID/Peru.Apply for 72052725RFA00001
