Opportunity Information: Apply for 72038823RFA00009
USAID/Bangladesh is soliciting applications for a new activity called "USAID's Adolescent Health Activity" under Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) number 72038823RFA00009. The opportunity is funded and administered by the U.S. Agency for International Development mission in Dhaka and is positioned within the health sector (CFDA 98.001). USAID plans to support implementation through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the recipient will carry out the project while working closely with USAID, including substantial agency involvement in areas like technical direction, approvals, and coordination during implementation.
The competition is open to a wide range of applicants because eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning both U.S. and non-U.S. organizations may apply as long as they meet any additional conditions laid out in the NOFO's eligibility section. The legal authority underpinning the funding is the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, which is the primary statutory basis for many USAID foreign assistance programs. The goal is to select an implementer capable of delivering the activity's intended adolescent health objectives, with the chosen recipient ultimately responsible for achieving the program results described in the NOFO.
In terms of scale and expected outcome, USAID indicates an award ceiling of up to $15,000,000 and anticipates making one award, while also reserving the right to fund none of the applications if they do not meet the agency's needs or standards. Selection will be based on how well an application satisfies the NOFO requirements and performs against the merit review criteria. Importantly, the NOFO uses a multi-tiered review process, meaning applications will be evaluated in successive stages or phases, with each phase narrowing the field based on the published evaluation approach.
For application logistics, USAID requires electronic submission via email to the address provided in Section D of the NOFO (Application and Submission Information), rather than submission through Grants.gov itself. Applicants are encouraged to read all sections carefully and tailor their responses accordingly, since USAID will evaluate compliance and responsiveness to the NOFO instructions. The agency also highlights practical submission risk: USAID will not be responsible for technical issues, data corruption, transmission errors, or file conversion problems associated with email submission, so applicants are expected to manage formatting, file integrity, and timely delivery on their end.
The NOFO also sets a structured question-and-answer process. Applicants must direct questions to the points of contact listed in Section D, and questions must be submitted by the stated deadline. USAID will distribute responses that it deems appropriate to all potential applicants by issuing an amendment to the NOFO on Grants.gov, which helps ensure that clarifications are shared consistently across the applicant pool rather than privately.
Finally, USAID emphasizes standard federal funding caveats: publishing the NOFO does not guarantee an award, does not represent a commitment by the U.S. Government to fund any applicant, and does not reimburse any costs related to preparing or submitting an application. All proposal development expenses are borne by the applicant, and applications are submitted at the applicant's own risk. Overall, this is a competitive USAID/Bangladesh health funding opportunity aimed at selecting a single implementing partner to carry out an adolescent health activity under a cooperative agreement structure, with a maximum anticipated funding level of $15 million and a formal multi-phase merit review process guiding the award decision.Apply for 72038823RFA00009
