Opportunity Information: Apply for APS ASHA 17 000001
The FY 2017 American Schools and Hospitals Abroad (ASHA) Program notice (Funding Opportunity Number: APS ASHA 17 000001) is not a live solicitation for applications yet. It is explicitly a Request for Comments only, meaning USAID is asking the public and potential applicants to review the Annual Program Statement framework and provide feedback before a formal application package is released later. Anyone wishing to comment was directed to email ASHAapplications@usaid.gov, with comments accepted until 5:00 p.m. Washington, DC time on November 7, 2016.
The opportunity is issued by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), through the Office of American Schools and Hospitals Abroad (USAID/ASHA). It is categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity and anticipates funding through cooperative agreements and/or grants. The program sits at the intersection of education and health assistance (Funding Activity Categories: Education, Health) and is listed under CFDA 98.006.
At a high level, ASHA exists to provide financial assistance to certain institutions located outside the United States that have a formal American founding or sponsorship connection. The legal basis referenced in the notice is Section 214 of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended. Under that authority, ASHA support is aimed at (1) schools and libraries outside the U.S. that were founded or sponsored by U.S. citizens and that function as study and demonstration centers for U.S. ideas and practices, and (2) hospital centers outside the U.S. that were founded or sponsored by U.S. citizens and that contribute to medical education and research. In practical terms, the program is designed to strengthen eligible overseas schools, libraries, and hospitals that have a clear American institutional link and that advance educational or medical capacity in their host countries while also serving as showcases for U.S.-associated approaches and standards.
The notice indicates that USAID/ASHA is looking to support or stimulate activities proposed by U.S. nonprofit, nongovernmental organizations. The eligibility field is labeled broadly as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which signals that eligibility is more specific than the simple category name suggests and would be clarified in the full Annual Program Statement or the later formal application announcement. Even so, the intent is clear that U.S. nonprofit NGOs are the main implementing applicants, and the work supported would align with ASHA's statutory purpose of strengthening qualifying institutions abroad.
From a funding perspective, the notice provides a maximum award ceiling of $2,000,000 per award and projects a relatively large number of awards (Expected Awards: 35). Those figures suggest the program is structured to fund multiple projects across different institutions or countries rather than concentrating resources into a small number of very large awards. Because the instrument types include both grants and cooperative agreements, applicants should expect that some awards may involve substantial USAID engagement during implementation (typical of cooperative agreements), depending on the activity design and the final terms released in the formal solicitation.
Overall, this posting should be read as an early-stage planning and feedback step rather than a call for proposals. The key takeaway for interested organizations is that USAID/ASHA was preparing to release a formal FY 2017 Annual Program Statement for projects supporting American-founded or American-sponsored schools, libraries, and hospitals overseas, with significant potential funding per award, and it invited stakeholder input by email ahead of the official application launch.Apply for APS ASHA 17 000001
