Opportunity Information: Apply for RFI 367 23 00002

USAID Integrated Nutrition is a planned health-focused activity being developed by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Mission in Nepal. At this stage, USAID has released a Request for Information (RFI) to gather input from the public on a draft program description, specifically asking for comments, clarifications, and suggestions that could help refine the eventual activity design. The RFI is intended to support USAID's planning process, so the main purpose is market research and program shaping rather than selecting an implementer right now.

The notice is explicit that responses are non-binding and come with no commitment from the U.S. Government. Submitting feedback does not create any obligation for USAID to release a future funding opportunity, does not influence any guaranteed award outcome, and does not entitle respondents to reimbursement for the time or costs associated with preparing and sending comments. In other words, this is not a Request for Applications (RFA) and should not be treated like an active competition for funding.

Even though the opportunity is labeled under a cooperative agreement funding instrument type, USAID is not making an award based on RFI submissions. Instead, USAID is using the RFI to improve how the eventual USAID Integrated Nutrition activity is structured and described before any formal solicitation is issued. If USAID decides to move forward with funding, the formal announcement would be released later on Grants.gov, which is where applicants would find the official requirements, selection criteria, and application instructions.

From the source details, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and falls under the Health funding activity category, with CFDA/Assistance Listing 98.001. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity unless the full text includes additional eligibility conditions or clarifications. The posting indicates an expected single award in a future scenario, but the RFI itself has an award ceiling listed as 0, reinforcing that no funding is being offered through this particular notice. The RFI was created on January 25, 2023, with an original closing date of February 9, 2023, which reflects the window during which USAID was requesting stakeholder input to inform the design of the planned integrated nutrition activity in Nepal.

FAQs: USAID Integrated Nutrition (Nepal) - Request for Information (RFI)

1) What is the USAID Integrated Nutrition opportunity described here?

It is a planned, health-focused activity being developed by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Mission in Nepal. At the stage described, USAID has released a Request for Information (RFI) to collect public input on a draft program description so the activity design can be refined.

2) Is this notice a funding opportunity I can apply to right now?

No. The notice is an RFI, not a Request for Applications (RFA), and it should not be treated as an active competition for funding.

3) What is the purpose of the RFI?

The purpose is market research and program shaping. USAID is seeking comments, clarifications, and suggestions on the draft program description to help improve and finalize how the planned activity is structured and described.

4) Does submitting an RFI response create any commitment from the U.S. Government?

No. The notice is explicit that responses are non-binding and do not create any commitment by the U.S. Government.

5) Does responding to the RFI guarantee that USAID will release a future funding opportunity?

No. Submitting feedback does not obligate USAID to release a future funding opportunity.

6) Does submitting comments improve my chances of receiving an award later?

No guaranteed award outcome is created by submitting an RFI response. The RFI is for input to support planning, not for selecting an implementer.

7) Will USAID reimburse costs for preparing and submitting an RFI response?

No. Respondents are not entitled to reimbursement for the time or costs associated with preparing and sending comments.

8) Is USAID selecting an implementer based on this RFI?

No. USAID is not making an award based on RFI submissions. The RFI is used to improve the eventual activity design before any formal solicitation is issued.

9) The listing mentions a cooperative agreement. Does that mean an award is being made now?

No. Even though the instrument type is labeled as a cooperative agreement, USAID is not awarding anything through the RFI. Any potential cooperative agreement would only be competed and awarded after a formal solicitation is issued (if USAID decides to move forward).

10) Is there any funding attached to this RFI?

No. The RFI has an award ceiling listed as 0, which reinforces that no funding is being offered through this notice.

11) Where would a future official announcement be posted if USAID moves forward?

If USAID decides to move forward with funding, the formal announcement would be released on Grants.gov. That future notice would contain the official requirements, selection criteria, and application instructions.

12) What program area/category does this planned activity fall under?

It is categorized under the Health funding activity category.

13) What is the CFDA/Assistance Listing number for this notice?

The CFDA/Assistance Listing identified is 98.001.

14) What type of grant opportunity category is it?

The opportunity is categorized as discretionary.

Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity unless the full text includes additional eligibility conditions or clarifications.

16) Does the notice indicate how many awards may be made in the future?

The posting indicates an expected single award in a future scenario, but the RFI itself does not make an award.

17) What were the key dates for the RFI?

The RFI was created on January 25, 2023, and had an original closing date of February 9, 2023. That date range reflects the window during which USAID requested stakeholder input for planning purposes.

18) What should I look for to know when it becomes a real application-based opportunity?

You would look for a formal solicitation posted on Grants.gov (for example, an official funding announcement with application instructions and selection criteria). The RFI itself is not that solicitation.
