Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS ID 18 003

The 2019 YSEALI Regional Workshop: Partnership in Health - Community-based Prevention for Non-communicable Diseases and Mental Health is a U.S. Department of State-funded grant opportunity, administered through the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta in coordination with the State Department's East Asia and Pacific Bureau. The program is structured as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning the selected recipient would be expected to work closely with the U.S. government during planning and implementation rather than operating entirely independently. The purpose of the award is to support an organization in designing and delivering a regional public health workshop for members of the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI), with a specific emphasis on community-based approaches to preventing non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and addressing mental health challenges.

Geographically, the priority region is Southeast Asia, covering all 10 ASEAN member states (Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Laos, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam) plus Timor-Leste. The core objective is to strengthen and expand networks among emerging young leaders from across these countries who are already engaged in public health work in their local communities. The workshop is intended to help participants connect across borders, learn from each other, and develop practical skills and relationships that translate into action once they return home.

A central aim of the workshop is partnership-building. The opportunity is designed to expose and link participants to potential collaborators from the United States, including U.S. businesses, institutions, technical experts, and peer networks. Beyond general training or discussion, the program expects participants to actively work in multi-country teams during the workshop to create innovative solutions, campaigns, or initiatives that can be implemented after the program concludes. In other words, the workshop is not only meant to inform participants about public health issues, but also to produce concrete, collaborative project concepts with wider regional reach and real community impact.

Eligibility is limited to organizations rather than individuals. Qualified applicants include not-for-profit entities such as NGOs, civil society organizations, and think tanks, as well as public or private educational institutions; both U.S.-based and non-U.S.-based organizations are eligible. Administrative requirements include having a Unique Entity Identifier (historically fulfilled through a DUNS number) and maintaining an active registration in SAM.gov to be eligible for an award. The funding notice also restricts applicants to a single proposal per organization; if an organization submits multiple proposals, all submissions from that organization can be ruled ineligible.

The funding details provided in the notice include an award ceiling of USD 250,000. Cost sharing is not stated as mandatory, but voluntary cost sharing may be considered during the merit review if applications receive equivalent evaluation scores, effectively serving as a tie-breaker rather than a baseline requirement. The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number PAS ID 18 003 under CFDA 19.040, with an original application closing date of September 1, 2018, and a posting creation date of August 3, 2018. Overall, the opportunity targets organizations capable of convening and facilitating a high-quality regional leadership and skills-building workshop that helps young Southeast Asian public health leaders collaborate on community-driven prevention strategies for NCDs and mental health, while also building sustained connections to U.S. partners and resources.
