Organizational Status and Experience: Principal applicants must be a U.S. PVO (any Category) or U.S. NGO (New Partner Category only). Please see below for additional information on organizational status.    1.  U.S. PVOs    A U.S. PVO is defined as a U.S. non governmental organization that meets the first four Conditions of Registration as outlined in Part 203, Chapter II, Title 22 of the Code of Federal Regulations in USAID&#146;s Automated Directives System.  To be registered, a U.S. PVO also must meet the second four Conditions of Registration, which establish standards to be met on an annual basis (see Annex B for a list of these eight Conditions). If an organization meets the criteria of a U.S. PVO, the organization must be registered or in the process of registration with USAID as a U.S. PVO at the time of application submission to be considered eligible as a U.S. PVO under this RFA. U.S. NGOs in the process of registration as a U.S. PVO with USAID at the time of application submission are eligible to apply under this RFA.       2. U.S. NGOs    Other U.S. NGOs that do not meet the definition of a U.S. PVO are eligible to apply for funding, but only under the New Partner Category of this RFA.      3.

The $5 million eligibility limitation does not include: 1) U.S. Government emergency and disaster assistance, whether domestic or international, or 2) U.S. Government domestic or international funding received by virtue of a subcontract or sub-grant.

Description: The Fiscal Year (FY) 2011 Request for Applications (RFA) for the Child Survival and Health Grants Program (CSHGP) is seeking effective partnerships with U.S. Private Voluntary Organizations (PVOs)/Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) to enable the identification, testing, and scale up of innovative solutions to improve integrated community oriented delivery of health interventions and strengthen the capacity of health systems and their local partners to respond to local needs. Specifically, the FY11 CSHGP RFA Innovation Category seeks innovative, scalable approaches and operations research (OR) focusing on globally and nationally relevant challenges for improving and scaling up the delivery and use of high impact maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) interventions in resource poor settings. Recipients of CSHGP&#146;s innovation awards will become key partners within a wider community of innovators supported by USAID and participate in events aimed at sharing and disseminating innovation solutions. The New Partner category seeks new and diverse partnerships with U.S. PVOs/NGOs who are building technical expertise to implement innovative and effective MNCH programming, in conjunction with their local partners.
