Date and Time for Application Submission: October 25th, 2013

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is seeking applications for an
Assistance Agreement for its Strengthening Local Capacity for Scientific Research and
Knowledge Management in Health Sectors in Asia Program. The authority for the RFA is found
in the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended.
USAID intends to award one Leader with Associate (LWA) Cooperative Agreement for the
Program. Subject to the availability of funds, it is estimated that USAID’s contribution to this
agreement will total approximately $5,000,000 for the Leader with Associate Cooperative
Agreement over a five year period (o/a January 2014-January 2019). The terms “LWA”, “LWA
Cooperative Agreement,” “Cooperative Agreement,” “Grant,” and “Award” are synonymous.
Once the Program is awarded, USAID Missions and Bureaus will be able to develop their own
stand alone cooperative agreements or Associate Awards with the Leader Award holder without
repeating the competition process, given the proposed Associate Award fits within the terms and
scope of the Leader Award in accordance with ADS 303. The Agreement Officer in the
operating unit issuing the Associate Award and the Leader Award Agreement Officer’s
Representative (AOR) will jointly determine whether the program description of the proposed
Associate Award is consistent with the Leader Award program description. Each Associate
Award will be awarded to the recipient of the Leader Award. Associate Awards can only be
issued to the recipient of the Leader Award.
