Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (CDC RFA PS10-1051) is a discretionary cooperative agreement issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). It is focused on strengthening South Africa's national blood transfusion system by supporting the South African National Blood Service (SANBS). The central goal is to protect patients by reducing and preventing new HIV infections that could occur through blood transfusion, while also improving the overall quality, safety, and reliability of transfusion services delivered to the public health system.
The award is designed around infrastructure and capacity building for SANBS, meaning the grant is intended to help the organization improve the systems, processes, and operational capabilities that underpin safe blood practices. In practical terms, this includes efforts that help ensure blood collection, testing, processing, storage, and distribution are performed in a way that minimizes risk of transfusion-transmitted HIV and supports consistent, high-quality patient care. The emphasis on "strengthening infrastructure" signals that the CDC anticipated supporting upgrades or enhancements to the organizational backbone that enables safe blood operations, rather than a short-term, one-off activity. Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, it also implies substantial involvement or collaboration by the CDC during implementation, such as technical guidance, monitoring, and shared planning around performance and outcomes.
Eligibility is essentially restricted to SANBS due to South African law. The National Health Act of 2004 provides that only one license is issued for the practice of blood transfusion in the country, and SANBS is the current license holder authorized to operate in eight of South Africa's nine provinces. SANBS is responsible for delivering transfusion services to the vast majority of patients nationally (noted as 87 percent). The only other licensed entity mentioned is the Western Province Blood Transfusion Service (WPBTS), which operates in the Western Cape Province. Importantly, the notice states that it is illegal under South African law for any other organization to directly collect blood or provide blood products for medical transfusion or related services, which effectively makes SANBS the sole eligible applicant for this particular award.
The opportunity anticipated a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of USD 10,000,000. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not expected to contribute a mandatory financial share to receive the award. The CFDA number associated with the program is 93.067 (Global AIDS), situating it within U.S. global HIV/AIDS assistance frameworks. The award ceiling and floor are listed as zero, which typically indicates that specific per-award limits were not expressed in those fields in the posted summary and that the actual budget would be governed by the full announcement, negotiations, and the approved project plan.
Key dates reflect a standard federal grant timeline for that period: the opportunity was posted and created on February 11, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 12, 2010, and an archive date of May 12, 2010. The sponsoring agency is the CDC, and the activity category is health, consistent with the focus on transfusion safety and HIV prevention. For access issues or administrative questions, the contact listed is PGO TIMS Grants at 770-488-2700 with a general email reference, indicating the usual grants office support channel rather than a program-specific contact in the summary.
Overall, the grant opportunity is best understood as a targeted, legally constrained investment by the CDC/PEPFAR to help SANBS maintain and improve national blood safety systems in South Africa, with a specific public health objective of preventing transfusion-transmitted HIV while strengthening service quality for patients who depend on safe and reliable blood supplies.
