Wave 9 Application
TB REACH Wave 9
Addressing inequities in drug-resistant tuberculosis under the principles of the USAID Global Accelerator to END TB and UN HLM on TB
Stage 2 Proposal
Submission Deadline: 1 June 2021 at 17:00 Geneva time
Applications MUST be submitted using this Wave 9 application website.
Proposals submitted via email in Word/PDF format will NOT be accepted or reviewed.
TB REACH strongly encourages applicants to read and follow the Stop TB Partnership’s language guide - United to End TB: Every Word Counts. The language used to speak about TB can influence stigma, beliefs, and behaviors, and may determine if a person feels comfortable getting tested or treated. Non-discriminatory, empowering, and people-centered language should be used throughout your TB REACH Wave 9 proposal.
If you have any questions, please contact us at TBREACH@stoptb.org
The Stop TB Partnership's TB REACH initiative has been supported by the Government of Canada since its inception in 2010.
Funding support for this call for proposals has been generously provided by USAID.
NOTE FOR APPLICANTS:
Wave 9 applications must be:
a) specific to addressing drug-resistant TB (DR-TB) - please see the relevant DR-TB technical brief;
b) focused on improving linkage to care, rapid uptake of novel treatment regimens or improving treatment adherence and outcomes for people with DR-TB;
c) led by a local1, non-governmental organization. International partner(s) are permitted, but local organization must receive the majority of the total budget; and
d) proposed in USAID priority countries.2
1 To be considered a "local" organization, an entity must satisfy all the following:
- Be organized under the laws of the recipient country (i.e., the country of implementation);
- Have its principal place of business in the recipient country;
- Be majority owned by individuals who are citizens or lawful permanent residents of the recipient country or be managed by a governing body, the majority of whom are citizens or lawful permanent residents of a recipient country; and
- Not be controlled by a foreign entity or by an individual or individuals who are not citizens or permanent residents of the recipient country.
- The term "controlled by" means a majority ownership or beneficiary interest as defined above, or the power, either directly or indirectly, whether exercised or exercisable, to control the election, appointment, or tenure of the organization’s managers or a majority of the organization’s governing body by any means, e.g., ownership, contract, or operation of law. "Foreign entity" means an organization that fails to meet any part of the "local organization" definition.
