Details EPT1

• 3 Cooperative agreements– Predict – UC Davis– Prevent – AED– Respond – DAI

• Subaward to UMN - $55 Million ceiling ($13M realized)

• IGO’s and NGO’s • Mission-based activities

Lessons Learned

• USAID (global health) has specific cultures and rules– Eg J-1 visas, C&C

• USAID contractors have specific cultures and rules– Eg J-1 visas, allocations, ICR’s, publication

• Coag’s have varying definitions• State department has various points of “input”

– Extremely risk averse

EPT-2

• 3 Co-ags• Predict – UC Davis• Preparedness and Response – DAI• One Health Workforce – UMN

– 50% subs to networks– Tufts University other subawardee– $50 Million ceiling $7.86 first year – Competitors University of Washington, Michigan

State, Tulane, Johns Hopkins

Lessons learned (so far)

• Risk averse– Subaward oversight the major focus– Needed to employ an outside admin consultant

• Command and control expectations– Technical plan worth 35% in evaluation

• Transparency is an oddity• Country missions are a new challenge

New funds - GHSA

• Emergency funds – not subject to competition, ceilings etc

• $312 M to EPT2• Realignment of funds

– Subject to pipeline and burn rates– “Ebola preparedness”

• More at CDC, USDA etc

Why UMN?

• Cultural– Long history of international engagement– Often under-estimated

• Personal Dedication• Interdisciplinary• Flexible• Land grant mission
