Advancing Global Health

The Department of State's Bureau of Global Health Security and Diplomacy is inviting eligible applicants to advance the America First Global Health Strategy through the Advancing Global Health program. The program aims to save lives, strengthen health systems, enhance efficiency, foster self-reliance, and ensure U.S. investments benefit American safety, strength, and prosperity. The program will support projects that complement existing activities and new government-to-government agreements, including where targeted technical, operational, or catalytic support is needed to address gaps, sequencing challenges, or transitional needs in MOU implementation. Key aspects of the program include: • Eligible applicants include U.S. and foreign private for-profit enterprises, public and private institutions of higher education, organizations, and public international organizations. • The program will support projects that address health challenges and priorities of importance, as identified by the Department of State. • Applicants must submit a Statement of Interest (SOI) in response to specific Addenda, which will be posted on grants.gov. • The SOI should include a concise concept note, a table listing critical details, and a description of the proposed project approach and activities. • The Department of State will review and evaluate SOIs based on criteria such as the quality of the program idea, organizational capacity, and program planning. • Selected applicants will be invited to develop a full application, which will include a proposal narrative, budget narrative, and program monitoring and evaluation plan.
