Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) focused on strengthening Angola's National Blood Transfusion Service. The overall purpose is to build and support the capacity of the Ministry of Health (MOH), specifically the National Blood Center, so it can reliably provide a blood supply that is both safe and sufficient nationwide. In practical terms, the grant is designed to help Angola improve the systems, policies, and implementation capacity needed to reduce the risk of transfusion-transmitted infections, ensure appropriate screening and handling of blood, and improve access to safe blood for patients who need transfusions.
The opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS10-10131, titled "Implementation of Programs to Enhance the National Blood Transfusion Service in the Republic of Angola under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)." It falls under the discretionary funding category, uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, and is classified in the health activity category. A cooperative agreement typically signals substantial programmatic involvement by the CDC compared with a standard grant, meaning the recipient can expect ongoing technical collaboration, guidance, and coordination with CDC as the work is implemented.
The announcement anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $3,000,000. The award ceiling and floor are listed as zero, which generally indicates that specific per-award funding bounds were not stated in the summary fields and that applicants needed to refer to the full announcement for any detailed budget expectations, phasing, or allowable cost structures. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute a specified portion of project costs from non-federal sources. The program is associated with CFDA Number 93.067, Global AIDS, reflecting its alignment with HIV/AIDS-related global health priorities, including the critical role of blood safety in preventing HIV transmission through transfusion.
Eligibility is narrowly defined and essentially targeted to the Angolan government entity responsible for blood safety. The MOH is identified as the governmental body with responsibility for blood safety in Angola, and within the MOH, the National Blood Center is described as the institution responsible for developing national policies and guidelines for delivery and implementation of blood safety interventions. The National Blood Center is also described as the only official national safe blood service provider in Angola. While the general eligibility field notes "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the included eligibility narrative makes clear that the intended and appropriate applicant is the MOH National Blood Center, reflecting a government-to-government capacity-building approach where the national authority leads and institutionalizes the blood safety system.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted on February 11, 2010, created on April 8, 2010, with an original closing date of April 12, 2010, later extended to a current closing date of April 30, 2010. The archive date is May 12, 2010, indicating when the opportunity was formally closed and archived in the system. These dates matter mainly for historical context now, but they also indicate the funding was intended for relatively rapid deployment and implementation within that period of PEPFAR programming.
The CDC is the issuing agency (Agency Name: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). The core project description is concise: support the capacity of the MOH National Blood Center to ensure a safe and sufficient blood supply in Angola. Even in its brief wording, the emphasis on both "safe" and "sufficient" is important because blood programs often struggle with the dual challenge of preventing transfusion-transmitted infections while also maintaining enough blood products to meet clinical demand. Under a PEPFAR lens, strengthening blood transfusion services directly supports HIV prevention goals by reducing the risk of HIV transmission through transfusions and by improving screening and quality systems tied to HIV and other infectious disease testing.
For applicants or partners needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the contact listed is the CDC Technical Information Management Section (TIMS) via the PGO TIMS phone line at 770-488-2700. This contact is oriented toward access and administrative support rather than programmatic questions, suggesting the full technical scope, reporting expectations, and implementation details would have been contained in the complete funding announcement and associated documents.
