Dear Partner
, Exciting news – the U.S. Global Development Lab’s Ebola Team has released an addendum to the Science,Technology, Innovation and Partnerships Broad Agency Announcement. The addendum is a call for Expressions of Interest (EOIs) to take part in an innovative and collaborative solution design process. The Lab Ebola Team is looking for EOIs regarding specific innovative solutions that your organization believes could strengthen interoperability of Health Information Systems (HIS) in West Africa in the wake of the Ebola outbreak. Our main objective is to co-create, co-design, co-invest and collaborate with innovators on forward-thinking solutions that demonstrate the highest potential to significantly improve recovery and development impacts. Of particular interest are opportunities that complement USAID’s strategic focus on science, technology and innovative partnerships.
Successful applications to this call will be treated as having met the statutory requirements for the Competition in Contracting Act, and could potentially result in funding opportunities. This is a public announcement, so please feel free to share with colleagues or partners who may have an interest.
