Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Increasing the Supply of Safe Blood for Transfusions in the United Republic of Tanzania and Zanzibar through Blood Collection, Donor Mobilization, and Technical Assistance under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)," is a health-focused cooperative agreement administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS-CDC). The program is framed under PEPFAR and centers on strengthening the availability of safe blood for transfusions across the United Republic of Tanzania, including Zanzibar, by supporting blood collection services, improving donor mobilization, and providing technical assistance to reinforce systems that ensure blood safety and adequate supply.
The award mechanism is a continuation opportunity (Opportunity Category: Continuation), which typically signals that the funding is intended to extend or continue ongoing work rather than launch an entirely new standalone project. It uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, meaning CDC is expected to have substantial involvement in the implementation, such as providing ongoing technical guidance, collaborating on strategies, monitoring progress, and supporting evaluation and reporting. The activity category is listed as Health, and the associated CFDA number is 93.067, which aligns with CDC global health activities and programming supported through U.S. government public health funding streams.
Eligibility for this particular notice is limited to special district governments. In practical terms, that usually points to specific governmental entities with defined administrative responsibility in a particular sector or geographic area, which in this case would be connected to public health service delivery and potentially blood transfusion services infrastructure. The opportunity was posted on January 26, 2016, with both the original and current closing date listed as March 29, 2016, indicating a fixed application window during that period.
The project scope, as indicated in the title and description, focuses on three main levers for improving transfusion capacity and safety: (1) blood collection, which can include expanding collection sites, improving operational efficiency, and strengthening processes that help collect sufficient volumes to meet clinical demand; (2) donor mobilization, which emphasizes recruiting and retaining eligible voluntary donors, improving outreach and communication, and addressing barriers to donation to stabilize supply; and (3) technical assistance, which generally covers capacity-building and system strengthening such as improving quality management systems, staff training, standard operating procedures, supply chain and cold chain reliability, hemovigilance and safety protocols, and data systems used to track collections, testing, and distribution. Because the program is under PEPFAR, the public health rationale is closely linked to reducing HIV-related morbidity and mortality and supporting safe clinical care, including for populations that may require transfusions as part of HIV care or related health services, while also protecting recipients from transfusion-transmitted infections through robust safety practices.
Administrative details in the notice include the funding opportunity number CDC RFA GH12 123505CONT16. The expected number of awards is listed as 50, suggesting CDC anticipated funding multiple recipients or sub-entities as part of the continuation structure. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which usually indicates that a specific maximum award amount was not provided in the public summary field, rather than implying no funding; in many federal listings this can mean amounts are determined by program needs, continuation budget ceilings set in other documents, or negotiated cooperative agreement budgets rather than a single published cap. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as CDC, through PEPFAR, continuing coordinated work to increase both the quantity and safety of blood available for transfusion services in Tanzania and Zanzibar by strengthening operations, donor recruitment systems, and technical standards that underpin a reliable national or regional blood supply.
