Opportunity Information: Apply for 72044021RFA00007
Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) 72044021RFA00007 is a U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) funding opportunity issued by USAID Thailand (USAID-Bangkok). It was posted on June 1, 2021, with an original application closing date of July 1, 2021. The opportunity is listed under the funding activity category of Health and is associated with CFDA number 98.001, which is commonly used for USAID foreign assistance programs.
This NOFO is classified as an earmark opportunity and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. In practical terms, that means an applicant would not just receive funds and operate independently as they might under a more hands-off grant. Instead, the award would typically involve substantial involvement by USAID during implementation, such as participation in technical direction, coordination, monitoring, and other collaborative elements that shape how activities are carried out. Cooperative agreements are often used when the agency expects an ongoing partnership with the recipient to achieve program objectives.
The funding level indicated in the source data shows an award ceiling of $15,000,000, with USAID expecting to make one award. That combination (a single anticipated award and a relatively high ceiling) usually signals a sizable, centralized project or mechanism rather than a small portfolio of multiple sub-awards. Because only one award is expected, competition can be particularly selective, with applicants generally needing to demonstrate strong technical capacity, operational readiness, and the ability to manage a large-scale program with appropriate financial controls and compliance systems.
Eligibility is listed as "Unrestricted," meaning the competition is open to any type of entity, with the caveat that the official eligibility terms may include additional clarifications in the full announcement text (referenced as an "Additional Information on Eligibility" section). In USAID practice, this can include conditions such as registration and compliance requirements, responsibility determinations, and other criteria that may affect whether a specific organization can ultimately receive an award. The listing itself does not narrow eligibility to a specific organization type (such as nonprofits only, universities only, or local entities only), but the full NOFO would be the governing document for any limits or preferences.
Beyond these core administrative details, the record you provided summarizes the opportunity as "Synopsis 1-Final Version" without including the program narrative, target outcomes, or the specific health focus areas. Based strictly on the available fields, what can be stated with confidence is that USAID Thailand intended to fund a health-related activity through a cooperative agreement, up to $15 million, making one award, with proposals due by early July 2021. For details such as the specific health problem being addressed, geographic scope within Thailand or the region, required interventions, performance indicators, cost share expectations, reporting requirements, and the selection criteria, the full NOFO text would be needed, because the synopsis metadata alone does not provide those programmatic elements.Apply for 72044021RFA00007
