EVAH’s first request for proposals (RFP) supports locally-led evaluations of AI-enabled clinical decision support tools (CDSTs) that are ready for real-world use and designed to assist frontline workers with clinical tasks—such as triage, diagnosis, or referral—within primary and community health care settings in Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia.
The Evidence for AI in Health (EVAH) initiative Spring 2026 RFP is now closed. Below are the key dates: RFP opens: February 20, 2026 RFP questions accepted: Questions must have been submitted to [email protected] by March 6, 2026 to be published and answered in the FAQ below.

Final funding decisions and associated timeline to award remain subject to each funder’s internal due diligence processes. Researchers may apply for one of the following funding pathways: Pathway A: supports real-world evaluation of AI-enabled CDSTs that are early in deployment.
The pathway focuses on how the tools perform in practice, including usability, workflow integration, adoption, and safety, and supports research that can inform future impact evaluations. (Up to USD $1,000,000) Pathway B : supports rigorous impact evaluations of AI-enabled CDSTs that are ready to be deployed at scale. This pathway focuses on measuring the effects of these tools on health outcomes and system performance at scale.
(Up to USD $3,000,000) This call is intended for organizations or consortia that have access to an AI-enabled CDST already deployed or ready for deployment in primary health care settings, and the capacity to conduct—or partner with institutions that can conduct—rigorous evaluations.
Applicants may include nonprofit organizations, for-profit companies, international organizations, government agencies, academic institutions, or collaborations among these actors.
Proposals should be led by institutions based in the regions of focus and designed to generate decision-relevant evidence for Ministries of Health, implementers, and funders on how AI-enabled CDSTs can be responsibly integrated into primary health care systems and, where appropriate, inform future scale-up decisions.
