Opportunity Information: Apply for 7200AA19APS00002
MOMENTUM (Moving Integrated, Quality Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health Services, Voluntary Family Planning, and Reproductive Health Care to Scale) is a USAID Bureau for Global Health Annual Program Statement (APS) designed to fund a portfolio of cooperative agreements that help high-burden, USAID-supported countries reduce maternal, newborn, and child deaths and illness. The central aim is to speed up progress by strengthening the ability of host-country institutions and local organizations to introduce, deliver, expand, and sustain evidence-based, high-quality services across maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH), voluntary family planning (FP), and reproductive health (RH). In practice, the opportunity is less about piloting brand-new ideas and more about improving quality and pushing proven approaches to scale in ways that can last after external support declines.
This posting functions as an umbrella APS rather than a single open application. That means USAID is not accepting concept papers or full applications under the main MOMENTUM APS document itself. Instead, USAID plans to release separate, more specific funding "Rounds" under the MOMENTUM umbrella. Each Round will have a defined technical focus and will provide the actual instructions for what USAID wants, how to submit, who to contact, and how submissions will be evaluated. Rounds are announced as they arise (with notices posted on Grants.gov), and applicants must respond to the requirements of the specific Round they are targeting.
The application process described is staged. Under each Round, organizations typically start by submitting a short concept paper. USAID first checks whether the concept paper is responsive to the MOMENTUM purpose, the expected results, and the Round-specific focus, and then scores it using evaluation criteria published in that Round document. If the concept paper is successful, USAID may invite the applicant into a co-creation process, where USAID and selected applicants refine the approach before a full proposal is requested. After co-creation (or sometimes without co-creation, at USAID's discretion), USAID may invite selected applicants to submit a Full Application, with final format and content requirements provided by the Agreement Officer. A key point is that publishing the umbrella APS does not obligate USAID to make any awards, and USAID retains flexibility in how it runs each Round.
Eligibility is broad but organization-focused. U.S. and non-U.S. entities can compete, including public and private organizations, for-profit and nonprofit groups, universities, public international organizations, and NGOs. The organization must be a legally recognized entity and legally registered in an eligible country under USAID Geographic Code 937, which generally includes the United States, the recipient country, and many developing countries (excluding advanced developing countries and prohibited source countries, per USAID policy). Individuals cannot apply. USAID also emphasizes organizational responsibility: the Agreement Officer may require a Pre-Award Survey to verify that the applicant has (or can obtain) sufficient management systems, relevant experience, financial and operational controls, and technical capacity to carry out the work. Local and developing-country organizations are strongly encouraged to apply, aligning with USAID's broader goals of building local capacity and improving sustainability, and USAID also encourages applications from new partners willing to undergo pre-award due diligence.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using cooperative agreements, meaning USAID expects substantial involvement during implementation (for example, through collaboration on planning, learning, adaptation, and oversight). The funding opportunity number is 7200AA19APS00002, with a listed award ceiling of up to $500,000,000 for the overall APS mechanism (this is a maximum ceiling and not a guarantee of funding to any one award). The original posting date is April 22, 2019, and the listing shows an original closing date of September 30, 2025, reflecting that this umbrella APS remains open over a multi-year period to accommodate multiple future Rounds rather than one single deadline.
For USAID Missions or USAID/Washington offices that want to create a Round under this umbrella, the Round must fit within the MOMENTUM APS scope described in the main document. Draft Round documents are to be reviewed before public posting, with the APS identifying points of contact for that internal review (Samantha Pierre and Rebecca Levine). All new Rounds must also be posted on the USAID Business Forecast as a MOMENTUM APS Round, which helps signal upcoming funding opportunities to the market.
Overall, MOMENTUM is best understood as a long-running framework that USAID uses to launch targeted competitions that advance integrated, quality MNCH/FP/RH service delivery at scale. Organizations interested in applying cannot apply to the umbrella APS directly; they need to monitor and respond to specific MOMENTUM Rounds as they are released, and tailor their concept papers to the Round focus, evaluation criteria, and submission instructions found in the Round documentation under the Grants.gov posting's related documents.Apply for 7200AA19APS00002
