Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a CDC discretionary cooperative agreement under PEPFAR (CFDA 93.067, Global AIDS) aimed at improving the availability and safety of blood transfusion services across the Federal Republic of Nigeria by strengthening the national quality management system that underpins the entire blood supply chain. The core purpose is to build the institutional and technical capacity of Nigeria's National Blood Transfusion Service (NBTS) to set and implement the national policies, procedures, and operational guidelines needed to consistently recruit donors, collect blood, process and test it, store it, distribute it, and ultimately deliver safe, high-quality blood products while also monitoring and evaluating performance across the national blood service.
The program is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expects substantial involvement in technical direction, performance monitoring, and alignment with broader PEPFAR public health goals rather than acting solely as a funder. The work emphasized in the announcement centers on establishing and reinforcing standardized systems that make safe transfusion reliable at scale, including quality assurance and continuous quality improvement practices, documentation and standard operating procedures, adherence to nationally approved guidelines, and routine monitoring and evaluation to track outcomes and identify gaps. In practice, this would support NBTS in building a coherent national framework so that blood safety is not dependent on isolated facilities, but instead driven by consistent national standards and oversight.
Eligibility is essentially restricted to NBTS because it is the only entity within the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Health with delegated authority under the national blood policy to implement and coordinate the blood safety components described. The announcement explicitly states that NBTS is the only department with the mandate to implement or coordinate the listed blood safety activities, making this a targeted opportunity intended to resource the official national program rather than open competition among multiple organizations.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $25,000,000, with an award ceiling of $5,000,000 and an award floor of $1,000,000, and it anticipates making one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Key dates show the opportunity was posted on February 10, 2010, created on April 21, 2010, with an original closing date of April 12, 2010, later extended to April 30, 2010, and an archive date of May 30, 2010.
Overall, the grant is designed to strengthen Nigeria's national blood transfusion system by helping NBTS build and enforce a robust quality management system and related national standards, ensuring that donor recruitment through final delivery of blood products is managed in a controlled, measurable, and continually improving way. The public health rationale aligns with PEPFAR priorities by reducing transfusion-related transmission risks and supporting safer clinical care through improved availability of safe blood.
