Opportunity Information: Apply for 7200AA21APS00003
The Science, Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (STIP) opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 7200AA21APS00003) is a USAID umbrella Annual Program Statement designed to organize and solicit development-oriented ideas that use science, technology, innovation, and partnerships to address major global challenges. USAID frames this as part of its long-running mission to help end extreme poverty and support resilient, democratic societies, while also advancing U.S. security and prosperity. The program recognizes that the development environment is changing quickly due to scientific breakthroughs, disruptive innovations, rapid progress in information and communication technologies, and a growing role for the private sector. The intent is to create a pathway for USAID and partners to tap into leading expertise and novel solutions that can drive progress across USAID goals.
A central point in this announcement is that the STIP APS itself does not provide funding. The award ceiling is listed as 0, and USAID explicitly states that there is no funding associated with the umbrella APS. Instead, any real funding opportunities, submission instructions, and technical priorities are issued through specific addenda that are published under the STIP APS. Applicants cannot submit a standalone application to the umbrella notice; they must identify a relevant addendum and apply directly to that addendum. Depending on the addendum, USAID may request a Concept Note first, followed by a Full Application, or in some cases may request only a Full Application.
Eligibility under the STIP APS is intentionally broad. Addenda may invite submissions from virtually any type of organization, including higher education institutions and their partners, nonprofits, for-profits, public international organizations, NGOs, U.S. and non-U.S. governmental entities, and multilateral or other international donor organizations. Even with that broad eligibility, applicants are expected to demonstrate meaningful engagement with higher education institutions (HEIs) and/or closely related partners, along with other institutional collaborators as appropriate. In practice, this means proposals are expected to be partnership-driven and to show credible connections among research, innovation, implementation, and the institutions capable of delivering results.
Responsiveness and responsibility requirements also matter. An applicant must be responsive both to the overarching APS and to the specific addendum they are targeting, meaning the idea, approach, and submission format must match what the addendum requests. In addition, the lead organization must be deemed sufficiently responsible to manage a potential award, which generally refers to the capacity, governance, financial controls, and past performance needed to administer U.S. government assistance effectively.
Administrative details in the source listing include the agency (U.S. Agency for International Development), activity area (Science and Technology and other Research and Development), CFDA number 98.012, and an original closing date of March 4, 2022. Because this is an umbrella APS with rolling addenda, the practical deadlines and expected number of awards are driven by each addendum rather than by the umbrella posting itself. The main takeaway is that STIP is a framework USAID uses to channel targeted solicitations for innovative, science- and technology-enabled development solutions, and prospective applicants need to track and respond to the individual addenda where funding and submission requirements are actually defined.Apply for 7200AA21APS00003
