Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), supports continued work to provide technical assistance for implementing and expanding blood safety activities in the Republic of Kenya under the Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). It is framed as a health-focused effort within PEPFARs broader HIV response, where safe blood systems are a key public health requirement because they reduce the risk of HIV and other transfusion-transmissible infections and help ensure that transfusions are available and reliable for patients who need them. The announcement is specifically positioned around technical assistance, which typically means strengthening systems, improving quality and safety practices, supporting national programs, and helping scale up effective approaches rather than simply purchasing supplies.
The opportunity is a continuation award, not an open competitive solicitation. It is identified by Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS09 98503CONT12 and is explicitly intended only for grantees previously funded under the earlier award PS09 985 for the same program area. In practical terms, that means eligibility is restricted: only organizations that already held the original CDC award under PS09 985 are allowed to apply for these continuation funds. The Eligible Applicants field lists "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the eligibility clarification makes clear that this is limited to existing, previously funded grantees. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to contribute a specific portion of project costs from non-federal sources.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which is important because it implies substantial involvement by CDC in the funded work. Unlike a standard grant where the recipient has more independent control over implementation, cooperative agreements generally include ongoing collaboration, technical input, and programmatic oversight from CDC staff. For a program like blood safety technical assistance in Kenya, this structure commonly supports close coordination on activities such as planning and monitoring, aligning with national policies and strategies, supporting quality management systems, training and mentorship, strengthening screening and testing practices, improving donor recruitment and retention approaches, and enhancing data systems and performance monitoring. While the notice does not list detailed workplan elements, the title and program framing indicate the emphasis is on implementation support and expansion of blood safety activities tied to PEPFAR goals.
The announcement anticipates a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1), suggesting that CDC planned to fund one continuing partner to carry forward the work rather than supporting multiple new recipients. The activity category is Health, and the CFDA number is 93.067 (Global AIDS), which is the federal assistance listing associated with PEPFAR-related global HIV/AIDS programming. The posting date and creation date are both February 12, 2012, with an original and current closing date of April 2, 2012. The archive date is May 2, 2012, meaning the opportunity is no longer active and has been retained for record purposes.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement at the time, CDC provided a point of contact through CDC PGOTIMS, including a phone number (770-488-2700) and email (pgotim@cdc.gov). Overall, the notice describes a narrow, continuation-based cooperative agreement intended to sustain and expand CDC-supported technical assistance for blood safety programming in Kenya as part of the PEPFAR portfolio, with eligibility limited to the previously funded grantee under the earlier PS09 985 award.
