Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Providing Technical Assistance for the Implementation and Expansion of Blood Safety Activities in the Republic of Kenya under the President s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief," was issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) through its Procurement and Grants Office. It is a discretionary funding opportunity structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the CDC would likely have substantial involvement during the period of performance, not just provide funds and step back. The activity is categorized under health and is linked to CFDA number 93.067 (Global AIDS), reflecting its placement within broader HIV/AIDS-related efforts under the President s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).
The central goal of the program is to strengthen blood safety and availability in Kenya by providing expert guidance and hands-on technical assistance to the National Blood Transfusion Services (NBTS) and the Kenyan Ministry of Medical Services. The focus is on ensuring health facilities across the country can rely on a blood supply that is both safe (minimizing transfusion-transmitted infections and improving quality systems) and sufficient (improving availability to meet clinical demand). In practical terms, this kind of technical assistance typically supports national systems such as donor recruitment and retention, blood collection and processing procedures, testing and screening protocols, quality management systems, cold chain and storage, distribution logistics, data systems, training, and program oversight. While the short synopsis does not list specific required activities, the framing makes clear the award is meant to support implementation and expansion of blood safety activities at a national scale in coordination with Kenyan government counterparts.
Funding is described in two ways in the source information. The narrative notes approximately 2,000,000 dollars would be available to support approximately one award, and the award ceiling is listed as 2,000,000 dollars with an award floor of 400,000 dollars. At the same time, the estimated total funding field shows 10,000,000 dollars, which can happen in federal listings when totals reflect multi-year projections, broader portfolio estimates, or program-level amounts even if only one award is expected at a lower annual cap. What is unambiguous is that the opportunity anticipates about one award and that the maximum amount per award is capped at 2,000,000 dollars. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is open to a wide range of applicant types, subject to any clarifications that might have been included in the full announcement text. The application timeline indicates the opportunity was posted on March 30, 2009, with an original and current closing date of May 28, 2009, and applications were due by 5:00 pm Eastern Time on the closing date. The estimated funding date was stated as prior to September 30, 2009. The listing was archived on June 27, 2009, which generally indicates the competition cycle is closed and the announcement is no longer accepting applications.
For applicants or interested parties who needed the full announcement, the listing pointed to Grants.gov as the source for complete program details, and it provided CDC contact information for assistance accessing the announcement, including the PGO TIMS phone number (770-488-2700) and a general email contact. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted, single-award cooperative agreement intended to bolster Kenya s national blood transfusion capacity and safety systems under the broader PEPFAR and global HIV/AIDS programming umbrella.
