General Program Concepts
•
•
•
•
Cross cutting
Lead partners
Goals
RFP Guidance for projects, will be the
similar for new RFP
Program-level cross-cutting concepts
• address biodiversity conservation
• address non-GMO biotechnology
• address IEHA goals
Lead Partner Institution
• a single US institution
• assume strong administrative and
technical leadership for projects
• involved in advisory groups serving the
overall program
• form collaborative partnerships through
sub-awards
• Operational goal: maximum program
impacts for small-scale farmers and
fishers, in Host Countries and more
broadly.
Specifically, the Aquaculture & Fisheries
CRSP will strive to:
• Develop sustainable end-user level
aquaculture and fisheries systems to
increase productivity, enhance
international trade opportunities, and
contribute to responsible aquatic
resource management
• Enhance local capacity in aquaculture
and aquatic resource management to
ensure long-term program impacts at
the community and national level
• Foster wide dissemination of
research results and technologies to
local stakeholders at all levels,
including end users, researchers,
and government officials; and
• Increase Host Country capacity
and productivity to contribute to
national food security, income
generation, and market access.
RFP pointers (1)
• Balance between topic areas in
Integrated Production Systems (4 TA)
and in People, Livelihoods, and
Ecosystem Interrelationships (6 TA).
• TA=topic areas
• Each project has TAs in both
categories.
RFP pointers (2)
• Focus on aquaculture research for
smallholders and to benefit the poor.
• No funding for “fisheries only” projects, or
“outreach only” projects”
• Focus on key ecosystems and species; less
focus on genetics, diseases but acceptable if
combined with relevant TAs
RFP pointers (3)
• No more than 10 investigations per proposal
(project)
• Must have primarily research
(study/experiment) and at least one outreach
investigation (activity)
• Has an outreach plan
• Has a gender plan
RFP pointers (4)
• Clear goal (Themes A-D) supported by
TA and investigations
• Alignment with USAID goals: gender,
capacity building, environmental impact,
and other points in RFP
RFP pointers (5)
• 50% budget (direct costs) in HC
• Little or no US PI salary
• Overall minimal salary support for
professionals, except true HC
• No expats, no consultants
• Students identified and part of research
• 35% US match on total (eg 400k, then 140k)
• 15% optional HC contribution on total funding
First RFP 2007-2009
