GRCD research will better inform the current or future iterations of a given ongoing USAID activity, by identifying a new research component (or a solution co-developed with a researcher), which will lead to increased impact of the activity on its intended beneficiaries. This RFA is restricted to the following countries that host USAID activity(s): * Central Asia and Middle East: Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, and Pakistan * East and South Asia: Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, Nepal, and Philippines * West and Northern Africa: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Côte d'ivoire, Equatorial Guinea, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Senegal, The Gambia, Togo, and Tunisia * Central and Southern Africa: Angola, Botswana, Burundi, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Namibia, Rwanda, South Africa, Swaziland, and Zambia * Latin America and Caribbean: Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Paraguay, and Peru All USAID technical sectors<http://stemedhub.org/newsletter/track/click/?t=NTAgMTVCNEE1ODVBMjUxMjRDNEI1…> are open for consideration, except for certain activities that fall under global health. Up to five (5) awards will be made, for an anticipated project duration of 12-15 months, with a maximum total budget of US $200,000 per award. We hereby invite practitioners and researchers to submit letters of interest (LOI) by 5 March 2021, with Full Applications due on 16 April 2021, in accordance with all RFA submission requirements. This opportunity calls for innovative, system-level based research – and associated research translation – that is focused on development challenges linked to an existing USAID activity.
