Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Strengthening the Blood Transfusion Services in the Republic of Rwanda 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 as CDC RFA PS09-9112. It is a discretionary health funding opportunity offered under the Global AIDS program (CFDA 93.067) and is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning CDC would be expected to have substantial involvement in the supported activities rather than acting only as a pass-through funder. The overall goal of the program is straightforward and public-health focused: to help ensure that Rwanda has a safe and adequate blood supply, which is a critical component of HIV prevention efforts and broader health system performance, especially for services like emergency care, maternal health, surgery, and treatment of severe anemia.
The announcement indicated an estimated total funding level of about $3,500,000, with the expectation of making approximately one award. While an award floor of $50,000 is listed, the forecast clearly points to a single, substantially larger cooperative agreement aligned with the total funding estimate. The intended timing was also specified: CDC anticipated making the award prior to September 30, 2009. The posting date and creation date were March 31, 2009, and the application closing date was May 29, 2009, after which the opportunity was archived on June 28, 2009.
Eligibility for this opportunity was highly restricted. The only organization eligible to apply was Rwanda's National Center for Blood Transfusion (NCTB), an agency under the Government of Rwanda Ministry of Health. In practical terms, this indicates the funding was designed as a targeted investment to strengthen a national blood transfusion program through the country’s designated public institution rather than through open competition among multiple domestic or international entities. No cost sharing or matching requirement was listed, so the applicant was not required to contribute a specific amount of non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
For applicants or stakeholders needing assistance accessing the full announcement, CDC provided a point of contact through its Procurement and Grants Office (PGO TIM) at 770-488-2700. Overall, the opportunity reflects a focused PEPFAR-supported effort to improve blood safety and availability in Rwanda by supporting the national institution responsible for blood transfusion services, using a cooperative agreement model to align CDC technical collaboration with Rwanda’s national blood program priorities.
