    The document outlines the implementation science initiative "Strengthening Family Health" by USAID through an APS (Annual Program Statement) ensuring potential bidders address all three results in their concept papers. Organizations can propose as prime or sub-partners but must respond fully to all results, fostering partnerships prior to submission. The APS permits one concept paper submission per organization, with multiple papers allowed for different roles. Funding for Round 1 is estimated at $35 million, covering core and field activities. Organizations may suggest the countries of operation, although alignment with USAID priorities is preferred. Capacity building is emphasized throughout the initiative, focusing on using funds for implementing interventions while ensuring research informs policy. Overall, this APS encourages collaborative efforts towards family health improvement and calls for innovative approaches in implementation science.
