Opportunity Summary:
This CDC cooperative agreement under PEPFAR focuses on strengthening Tanzania and Zanzibar's blood supply by increasing both the safety and the overall availability of blood through better recruitment and long-term retention of eligible donors. The central idea is to help the National Blood Transfusion Service (NBTS) raise the supply of safe blood to sufficient levels over a five-year period, while also supporting fair access to transfusion services across the country and reducing the risk of biomedical transmission of HIV and other transfusion-transmissible infections (TTIs). The program emphasizes building a reliable base of voluntary, non-remunerated donors drawn from low-risk populations, and pairing day-to-day recruitment work with longer-term capacity building inside NBTS so the system remains strong after the award ends.
A major funded activity is the coordination, formation, and ongoing maintenance of blood donor clubs, which are meant to create repeat donors rather than one-time contributors. The grantee is expected to work side-by-side with NBTS to develop outreach partnerships, especially with secondary schools and higher education institutions, and to coordinate with the Ministries of Health and Higher Education. A key deliverable in this area is the development and distribution of strong Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) materials that persuade people not only to donate, but to donate safely and return regularly. School-based mobilization is treated as important, but not sufficient on its own, so the program also expects strategies that deliberately expand and stabilize adult donor participation.
To address predictable drops in donations during school breaks, summer months, and after students graduate, the opportunity calls for building public-private partnerships with workplaces, non-government organizations, and private businesses. The grantee is expected to broker agreements that lead to concrete institutional commitments, such as hosting drives, promoting donation among staff or members, and supporting donor motivation and recognition efforts. Operationally, the grantee will collaborate closely with NBTS recruitment teams to plan and run blood collection events, and is encouraged to connect these mobilization activities to other U.S. Government HIV prevention efforts, including pathways for counseling and delivery of test results where appropriate.
Beyond mobilization, the award also includes support functions that help the blood system run more effectively. The grantee will assist with blood safety procurement activities for both mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar, and will work with NBTS to improve donor data management by ensuring donor information is collected consistently and entered into the appropriate database. These data improvements are meant to make it easier to track donor history, encourage repeat donation, and strengthen planning for recruitment and retention.
A sustainability component runs through the entire opportunity. The grantee is expected to help NBTS move toward a model that can meet national demand beyond the five-year award by identifying feasible income-generating activities and by hosting mobilization workshops for NBTS staff. These trainings focus on practical skills such as partner relationship management, recruitment tactics, retention planning, and fundraising. Any income generated may be used to support operational costs tied to blood mobilization and related development activities, reinforcing the goal of a self-sustaining transfusion service. The announcement notes that applicants are preferred if they have credible experience specifically in blood donor mobilization or, more broadly, in HIV-related community mobilization.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary CDC funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number CDC-RFA-PS10-1067) in the health category, offered as a cooperative agreement with substantial collaboration expected between the recipient and CDC/NBTS. The program anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,500,000, an annual award ceiling of $500,000, and an award floor of $250,000, and it does not require cost sharing or matching. Eligible applicants include a wide range of organizations, including public and private nonprofits, for-profit entities (including small/minority/women-owned businesses), universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community- and faith-based organizations, non-U.S. entities, and governmental bodies and their bona fide agents (with documentation required when applying as a bona fide agent). The opportunity was posted February 17, 2010, with an application closing date of April 19, 2010, and it was archived May 19, 2010.
