We seek Concept Notes (CNs) from multidisciplinary teams (preferable) of researchers and development professionals or individual experts, to undertake a resilience, food and nutrition security Desk Review and Market Study (DRMS); a Political Economy Analysis (PEA) and a secondary data analysis to inform the design strategies and approaches of future multi-year Resilience Food Security Activities (RFSA) in USAID Resilience Focus Countries. Eligibility: Every applying team needs to have at least one participant from a Higher Education Institution (HEI). Participation from HEIs in Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs) is strongly encouraged. The CN will be assessed according to the strength and experience of the team as a whole (see below). Preference will be given to concept notes from multidisciplinary teams in a country, however individual concept notes may be considered to fill certain expertise on other research team applications. The PI may apply for multiple concept notes. Individuals may participate in more than one team CN. This Call for CN is restricted to USAID’s Resilience Focus Countries that are: Burkina Faso, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Haiti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, Somalia, South Sudan, Uganda, and Zimbabwe. We hereby invite researchers and development experts to submit Concept Notes by 5:00 pm EST, 18 February 2022, in accordance with all submission requirements.

Technology played a crucial role in shortening the time to develop and produce medical devices, diagnostics kits and vaccines to deaccelerate COVID-19 deaths. However, availability of the relevant technologies is not equitable around the world. This session will discuss how international cooperation can help solve this and promote universal access to health.
