Opportunity Summary:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through its Procurement and Grants Office, released a discretionary funding opportunity under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) titled "Strengthening the Blood Transfusion Services in the Republic of Mozambique." The overall aim is to support Mozambique's Ministry of Health, specifically the national blood system known as Servico Nacional de Sangue (SeNaS), in maintaining and improving a safe, reliable, and sufficient blood supply nationwide. At its core, the opportunity is framed as a large-scale HIV prevention effort focused on reducing medical transmission of HIV through blood transfusion by strengthening how blood is recruited, collected, tested, and used.

The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expects an active partnership role rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The funding activity falls under health, with the CFDA listing tied to Global AIDS (93.067). The announcement anticipated a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1). The description indicates that approximately $1.6 million would be available in fiscal year 2010 for that award, although the opportunity record also lists an estimated total funding figure of $10,000,000, which suggests broader multi-year expectations or a higher-level estimate beyond the FY2010 amount. No cost sharing or matching is required.

The main public health purpose is to prevent transfusion-transmitted HIV by ensuring blood is sourced from regular, non-remunerated volunteer donors and that every step in the blood supply chain follows a quality systems approach. In practical terms, this emphasizes recruiting and retaining volunteer donors rather than relying on paid donations, expanding or reinforcing systems for appropriate screening and testing of donated blood, and building end-to-end quality management so that collection, processing, storage, distribution, and clinical use are consistently safe and controlled. The announcement also references "rational transfusion," pointing to efforts that encourage appropriate clinical use of blood so that transfusions are given when medically necessary and in ways that reduce avoidable exposure and waste.

Eligibility for this specific opportunity is narrowly defined. The eligible applicant identified in the notice is Mozambique's Ministry of Health and its national blood service (SeNaS), with a listed address in Maputo. In other words, this is not an open competition for a wide range of applicants; it is structured as targeted continued assistance to the national government blood program.

Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number CDC-RFA-PS10-1079 and a posting date of January 28, 2010. The original closing date was March 31, 2010, later extended to April 21, 2010, with an archive date of April 30, 2010. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as 0 in the record, which often indicates that specific limits were not entered in that database field rather than implying no limit in practice. For access issues with the full announcement, the contact listed is PGO TIMS at 770-488-2700, with a general email referenced but not fully provided in the excerpt.

Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a focused PEPFAR-supported effort to strengthen Mozambique's national blood transfusion services so that blood is consistently available and as safe as possible, using volunteer donor recruitment, rigorous testing, and quality systems across the entire transfusion process to reduce the risk of HIV transmission through medical care.
