Opportunity Information: Apply for BAA UKR CYBERSECURITY 2019
This USAID/Ukraine funding opportunity is a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) focused on improving cybersecurity for critical infrastructure in Ukraine through collaborative research and development efforts. Issued on February 15, 2019 under opportunity number BAA-UKR-CYBERSECURITY-2019, it is designed less like a traditional grant competition with a fixed, pre-packaged project plan and more like an open call for partners to help shape the work. USAID is explicitly looking for participants willing to co-create and co-design solutions with the agency, and it also encourages co-investment, meaning applicants may bring their own resources, funding, expertise, or technologies to strengthen proposed approaches.
The core purpose of the BAA is to generate innovative, practical R and D interventions that address cybersecurity risks affecting critical infrastructure. While the notice does not list the full technical scope in the excerpt, it indicates that the work will be organized around specific “Problem and Challenge Statements” contained in the full BAA document. The emphasis on critical infrastructure suggests interest in protecting systems whose disruption would have major public impact, such as energy, telecommunications, water, transportation, and other essential services, and in developing solutions that can be tested, adapted, and potentially scaled.
USAID invites three categories of participants to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI). First are Implementing Partners, which can include for-profit or non-profit organizations that would help carry out activities. Second are Co-Investors, which may be entities willing to contribute funding or other resources alongside USAID to support development, piloting, or deployment of solutions. Third are Experts, meaning individuals or organizations with specialized knowledge who can contribute technical input, research capacity, or advisory support. The announcement notes that more detail on these categories is provided in Section III, Stage 1 of the BAA, reinforcing that this process is staged and begins with an EOI rather than a full proposal.
The timeline is clearly laid out. Questions were due by March 4, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. Kyiv time, and Expressions of Interest were due by April 8, 2019 at 10:00 a.m. Kyiv time. The listing also shows an original closing date of April 15, 2019, which likely reflects an administrative closing date for the opportunity posting even though the EOI deadline is earlier. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 98.001 and is posted by USAID in Kyiv (Ukraine USAID-Kiev). Eligibility is listed as “Unrestricted,” indicating that a wide range of applicants may participate, including public and private entities, and both non-profit and for-profit organizations, consistent with the BAA’s collaborative intent.
In terms of awards and funding structure, the opportunity category and instrument type are both labeled “Other,” which aligns with the BAA format and the idea that USAID may use flexible partnership arrangements rather than a single standard grant model. The posting lists an award ceiling of 0 and does not specify an expected number of awards, signaling that funding amounts and the number of resulting partnerships were not predetermined in the synopsis and may depend on what emerges through co-creation, the quality of EOIs, and subsequent design discussions. Overall, the announcement is a call for capable partners to help USAID jointly develop and advance cybersecurity solutions for Ukraine’s critical infrastructure, with a strong preference for collaborative design, shared commitment, and innovative R and D approaches.Apply for BAA UKR CYBERSECURITY 2019
