Advancing Global Health

The Department of State's Bureau of Global Health Security and Diplomacy is seeking applicants to advance the America First Global Health Strategy, which aims to save lives, strengthen health systems, enhance efficiency, foster self-reliance, and ensure U.S. investments benefit American safety, strength, and prosperity. The strategy focuses on bilateral Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with partner governments to define shared priorities, establish mutual commitments, and achieve concrete health outcomes while advancing country self-reliance in national health programs. Key aspects of the opportunity include: • The Department of State will identify and support projects that complement, extend, and/or fill identified gaps in the implementation of bilateral MOUs. • Applicants must submit a Statement of Interest (SOI) in response to specific Addenda, which will be posted on grants.gov throughout the year. • The SOI should outline a clear, feasible, and impactful concept that responds directly to Addendum priorities. • The Department of State will conduct a multi-step review process, including technical eligibility review, merit review panel evaluation, and internal clearance and selection decision-making. • Selected applicants will be invited to develop a full application, which may include a proposal narrative, budget narrative, program monitoring and evaluation narrative, and key personnel information.
