Opportunity Information: Apply for RFI 72052123R00004
The "Integrated Social and Behavior Change" opportunity (RFI 72052123R00004) is a Request for Information issued by the USAID Mission in Haiti (USAID/Port-au-Prince) under the health sector (CFDA 98.001). Its purpose is to gather input from organizations and individuals on a proposed project approach and on specific questions USAID has outlined for planning. In practical terms, USAID is testing ideas, assumptions, and design options for a potential future activity focused on social and behavior change, rather than running a competition for funding right now.
This announcement is not a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) or a Request for Applications (RFA), and it should not be treated like one. USAID is explicitly saying it is not requesting proposals, will not accept unsolicited proposals, and will not accept materials like resumes. Any response submitted is considered informational only and cannot create any binding agreement with the U.S. Government. USAID also notes that it will only review information that directly responds to what the RFI asks for, meaning respondents should focus on the requested comments, opinions, and recommendations rather than pitching a full project.
The RFI is open eligibility-wise (listed as "Unrestricted"), but participation is entirely voluntary. Responding does not provide any advantage in a later competition, and not responding does not prevent an organization from competing later if USAID decides to issue a formal solicitation. If USAID does move forward with funding, the agency says any official solicitation would be posted on www.grants.gov, and potential applicants are responsible for monitoring that site for updates.
Several administrative conditions are emphasized. USAID will not accept phone calls or hard copy submissions, will not return submitted responses, and will not notify respondents about the outcome of its review. The agency will not provide debriefs, feedback, or answers to questions submitted as part of the RFI process. Respondents must cover all costs of preparing and submitting their input, since the U.S. Government will not reimburse expenses related to participation.
Finally, USAID states that both the RFI and the information received become USAID property and may be made public. Because of that, respondents are cautioned not to include sensitive, proprietary, or otherwise non-shareable information in their submissions. The listed close date for receiving inputs was February 23, 2023, and while the record shows a cooperative agreement as the anticipated instrument type and health as the activity category, no award ceiling or expected number of awards is specified because this is a planning RFI rather than an active funding competition.Apply for RFI 72052123R00004
