Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0002212
The U.S. Department of State, through its Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs (EAP), announced a discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0002212) focused on reducing anti-microbial resistance (AMR) in the Lower Mekong region of Southeast Asia. The award supports a small-scale public health project with a regional and/or local footprint, and it is framed as an environmental health effort because AMR is closely tied to how human health, animal health, and the surrounding ecosystem interact. The program sits under the Lower Mekong Initiative (LMI), where EAP partners with the Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs (OES) to strengthen human health outcomes as a pathway to broader economic growth and stability in the region.
The central purpose of the grant is to combat AMR by helping countries develop National AMR Resistance Action Plans, aligned with the LMI 2016-2020 Master Plan of Action. In practical terms, applicants are expected to demonstrate strong, region-specific understanding of AMR-related health challenges and the current landscape of programs already operating in the Lower Mekong countries. The intent is not just to raise awareness, but to translate expertise into actionable national planning that improves readiness, coordination, and long-term management of AMR threats.
Applications are expected to address at least three of the opportunity's priority focus areas. These areas include strengthening or supporting national AMR programs; addressing antimicrobial resistance directly, including its public health and infectious disease dimensions; promoting sustainable economic development alongside health security; and helping countries adapt to changing public health conditions, such as shifts in endemic or epidemic pathogens. A major emphasis is also placed on the One Health approach, which recognizes that drug resistance is influenced by connected systems across humans, animals, agriculture, and the environment. Under this theme, proposals may prioritize improving understanding of disease ecology, strengthening surveillance systems, and improving national communication and coordination across animal, human, and environmental health sectors.
The opportunity also encourages alignment with major international health security and governance frameworks, including the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA), the World Health Organization's Global Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance, and the WHO International Health Regulations. Additional cross-cutting themes that can be incorporated into a strong proposal include risk management, evidence-based policy development, and the development or application of new technologies relevant to environmental health challenges tied to AMR. Overall, the grant is positioned to promote better policy and technical capacity, improved surveillance and coordination, and stronger national planning that can reduce AMR risks over time.
Project activities are limited to the Lower Mekong countries listed in the notice: Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam. The funding ceiling is $246,850, with an expectation of one award. The opportunity falls under the Health funding activity category (CFDA 19.124), and the eligible applicant category specified is nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education.
