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 its new Advancing Global Health program. The program aims to save lives, strengthen health systems, enhance efficiency, foster self-reliance, and ensure that U.S. investments in global health directly 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 Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) implementation. Some key points of this opportunity include: • The program will provide funding for projects that address health challenges and priorities of importance. • Eligible applicants include U.S. and foreign private for-profit enterprises, public and private institutions of higher education, U.S and foreign organizations, including faith-based organizations, Public International Organizations (PIOs), and governmental institutions. • The program will consider applications for continuation grants funded under these awards beyond the initial budget period but within the five-year limitation on a noncompetitive basis subject to availability of funds, satisfactory progress of the award, and a determination that continued funding would be in the best interest of the Department of State. • The award performance period is up to 5 years. • The Department of State reserves the right to award multiple awards, one award, or no awards at all under each Addendum.
