Holistic Risk Management for Resilient Food Systems Research Activity

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is forecasting a new opportunity titled "Holistic Risk Management for Resilient Food Systems Research Activity," aimed at gathering feedback for a planned research initiative. This initiative, led by the Bureau for Resilience, Environment and Food Security (REFS), seeks insights on the necessity and scope of a prospective Innovation Lab, with the goal of enhancing risk management strategies within food systems. The opportunity is currently in the Request for Information (RFI) stage, and while it is unrestricted, any subsequent Request for Proposals (RFP) or Requests for Applications (RFA) may have eligibility restrictions. Interested parties can reach out to Jesse Brimmer at HRM-OAA@usaid.gov or by phone at (202) 746-1929 for further details. The fiscal year for this initiative is 2025, and the opportunity is categorized under discretionary funding with no cost-sharing requirements.
