The authority for this RFA is found in the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended. USAID intends to award a single Leader with Associate Award (LWA) to the applicant(s) who best meets the objectives of this worldwide activity. A LWA is a cooperative agreement that covers a specified worldwide activity. Funding for this opportunity will be based on the merit review criteria described in this NOFO subject to a risk assessment. Eligible parties interested in submitting an application are encouraged to read this NOFO thoroughly to understand the type of program sought, application submission requirements and selection process. USAIDs independent Office of the Chief Economist (OCE) supports the Agency in bringing strong economic theory, evidence, and tools to bear to improve the Agencys programmatic effectiveness and broader global engagement. Two of the Offices strategic objectives are promoting the use of existing cost-effectiveness evidence in Agency decision-making and the generation of new cost-effectiveness evidence to fill important evidence gaps.

This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) invites grant applications from institutions/organizations that propose to build a Medical Rehabilitation Research Center. The centers will have a specific rehabilitation research theme and be comprised of a research project supported by 3 cores. The 3 cores will have functions within the center as well as functions nationwide. Together, the cores will support: administrative functions (including an optional pilot program), resource sharing, and community engagement and outreach. The Medical Rehabilitation Research Centers will contribute tomedical rehabilitation research infrastructure by developing and disseminating techniques, data, theories, research programs, and expertise with the goal of enhancing the capability of medical rehabilitation investigators to understand mechanisms of functional recovery, develop therapeutic strategies, identify clinical care gaps, and improve the lives of people with disabilities. Applications must include a plan for inclusion of People with Lived Experience (as a required other attachment) that is relevant to the research theme of the center and increases the potential impact of the center.
