Opportunity Information: Apply for 72026318RFA00002
The "Centers of Excellence" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 72026318RFA00002) is a USAID Egypt (USAID-Cairo) funding call that was issued as an earmark and is intended to support activities in the Education sector. The award will be made using a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means the recipient is expected to work closely with the agency during implementation, with substantial involvement from USAID compared to a standard grant. The official program details, requirements, and scope are not included in the short description provided here; instead, applicants are directed to review the full Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) referenced in the instructions section of the original posting.
The opportunity is open to higher education institutions, including both public and state-controlled institutions of higher education as well as private institutions of higher education. This eligibility suggests the program is designed to be implemented through universities or comparable tertiary institutions that can host, administer, and sustain education-focused initiatives consistent with the idea of establishing or strengthening "centers of excellence." While the summary text does not specify thematic focus areas, this type of program generally supports concentrated capacity-building, advanced training, curriculum or program modernization, applied research, and institutional partnerships intended to produce high-quality outcomes in priority disciplines.
In terms of funding and scale, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $30,000,000 and anticipates making approximately three awards. This implies relatively large, multi-year or multi-component projects, potentially split among multiple institutions or consortia, though the exact structure would be spelled out in the NOFO. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) listing associated with the opportunity is 98.001, which corresponds to USAID foreign assistance programs.
Key dates provided indicate the opportunity was created on April 29, 2018, with an original closing date of June 28, 2018. Any applicant reviewing this listing now would need to verify whether the opportunity is archived, amended, or reissued, and should rely on the full NOFO for authoritative guidance on submission requirements, evaluation criteria, cost share expectations (if any), reporting obligations, and the programmatic and geographic priorities for the Egypt mission.Apply for 72026318RFA00002
