Opportunity Information: Apply for 720BHA22APS00001
USAID's Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA) is offering a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Transforming the International Humanitarian Data Ecosystem" (Funding Opportunity Number 720BHA22APS00001). The aim is to fund practical programs that improve how humanitarian data is produced, shared, analyzed, and used so that responders can make faster, better decisions in crises where time, access, and resources are often limited. BHA is looking for work that helps humanitarians get high-quality, near real-time information, along with diagnostic and predictive analysis, to understand needs, anticipate changes, and prioritize assistance as conditions evolve.
The opportunity is built around strengthening the broader humanitarian data ecosystem, framed through three pillars: People, Process, and Technology. While the overall initiative recognizes gaps across infrastructure, skills, tools, policies, standards, and organizational capacity, the first round of applications is focused specifically on two objectives within two pillars. Applicants may propose work under Pillar 1 (People), Objective 1.1 focused on humanitarian workforce development, and/or Pillar 3 (Technology), Objective 3.1 focused on data technology standards. The intent is to tackle the human and technical foundations that determine whether data actually supports operational decision-making, including the ability to answer basic questions about current needs and likely future needs.
Under Pillar 1, the workforce development objective signals that BHA wants stronger skills and professional capacity across the humanitarian community, so that staff and partners can effectively collect, manage, interpret, and apply data in the field. This aligns with the reality that even the best tools and datasets do not translate into better outcomes unless the people using them have the training, roles, and organizational support to integrate evidence into planning and response. Under Pillar 3, the data technology standards objective points toward improving interoperability and consistency across humanitarian information systems, so that data can move across organizations and platforms without losing meaning or quality. Efforts under this objective would be expected to address standardization challenges that prevent timely sharing and aggregation of data, which is essential for coordinated crisis response.
BHA emphasizes that strengthening the data ecosystem supports better responses to complex crises and helps address priority issues such as protection challenges, the effects of climate change, diversity, equity, and inclusion, and stronger early warning systems. In practice, this reflects a push for data approaches that are not just technically sound, but also relevant to real operational priorities and capable of improving how risks are detected and how assistance is targeted.
Applicants can submit a proposal focused on one objective or a combined proposal addressing both objectives, but if applying for both, they must do so within a single application rather than submitting two separate ones. There are also restrictions on how organizations can participate in the first round: a prime applicant may only submit or be part of one application total for this round. If an organization applies as the prime for only one objective, it may participate in a separate application for the other objective only as a sub-awardee, not as another prime. These rules are designed to manage duplication and encourage clearer roles among applicants and partners.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning USAID expects active involvement during implementation compared to a standard grant. BHA anticipates making up to three awards, with each award not expected to exceed $3,000,000 over a three-year period of performance, although applicants may request smaller amounts. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, open to any type of entity, subject to any clarifications in the formal notice.
Key dates and contact details are straightforward. The notice was created April 26, 2022. The first round of applications was scheduled to close May 30, 2022, and the notice indicates the broader funding opportunity would remain open until amended to close. Questions about the first round, including appendices and technical references, were required in writing by May 6, 2022, sent to BHA.TPQ.TIHDE@usaid.gov.
