Advancing Global Health

The Department of State's Bureau of Global Health Security and Diplomacy is seeking applications for the Advancing Global Health Annual Program Statement (APS).

The APS includes several addenda, each with its own specific objectives and priorities. Applicants can submit Statements of Interest (SOIs) for any work that falls within the scope outlined in the addenda. The Department of State will review SOIs based on the published evaluation criteria and may invite selected applicants to submit full applications. • The APS includes addenda for specific countries, such as Nigeria, Uganda, and Malawi, as well as addenda for specific topics, such as child development, care, and protection. • Applicants can submit SOIs for any work that falls within the scope outlined in the addenda. • The Department of State will review SOIs based on the published evaluation criteria, which includes factors such as technical merit, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability. • The Department of State anticipates making multiple awards under this APS, with a total available funding of up to $250 million. • The award size and number of awards will depend on the results of the SOI review process and the full application process.
