Projects funded through the Japanese American Confinement Sites Grant Program must benefit one or more historic Japanese American confinement sites. The term historic confinement sites is defined as the ten War Relocation Authority sites (Gila River, Granada, Heart Mountain, Jerome, Manzanar, Minidoka, Poston, Rohwer, Topaz, and Tule Lake), as well as other historically significant locations, as determined by the Secretary of the interior, where Japanese Americans were detained during World War II.

The Award covers all core-funded activities under this Agreement, and may receive both USAID core and field support funds, from a variety of accounts and earmarks. Applicants are encouraged to propose creative collaborative partnerships with other USG agencies and/or international organizations, NGOs, private voluntary organizations, and firms to implement activities under this program.

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to solicit revision applications from currently funded international Centers of Excellence for Malaria Research (ICEMR) investigators. These awards will support the conduct and oversight of observational studies or implementation studies to evaluate the impact of in-country, approved vector control and malaria prevention interventions on the incidence, prevalence, and transmission of malaria. This program will leverage the baseline data, infrastructure, and capacity established by the ICEMRs. The studies will augment or use the established malaria surveillance systems to study the impact of the vector control and malaria prevention interventions on human health outcomes. This FOA solicits three distinct types of studies: Study Type 1 is a Controlled Environment study, Study Type 2 is an Observational study, and Study Type 3 is an Implementation study. For Study Type 3 (Implementation study) this FOA supports a "Go/No-Go" approach to funding, which is significantly different from most U19 projects. Continued funding for the full award duration is dependent upon achieving negotiated "Go/No-Go" criteria by the end of Year 2 of the revision award. Applications may propose only one project for each Study Type.
