The current RFA (http://www.usaid.gov/our_work/global_health/home/Funding/cs_grants/cs_index.html) supercedes any information on this page. Tips and resource recommendations presented here are supplemental to the RFA, and should not contradict it. The tips are presented as reminders, and address typical errors made in applications. For more information, consult the evaluation criteria listed for the Entry/New Partner category in the last RFA. Tips included here do not represent all possible advice; contact the New Partner Advisor at CSTS+ (csts@macrointernational.com) for more information.

In addition to the resources mentioned here, the CORE Group (www.coregroup.org), a network of PVOs/NGOs, has many more resources that were developed and tested by PVOs/NGOs. Links to Working Groups may be helpful for specific technical areas (e.g. Safe Motherhood, M&E, etc.). You can contact CORE members through the web site to inquire about resources or experiences related to a specific context or situation.
