Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Supporting the Blood Transfusion Service of Namibia in the Implementation and Expansion of Blood Safety Activities in Namibia under the Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief" is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement intended to strengthen Namibia's national blood system. Its central goal is to support the Blood Transfusion Service of Namibia (NAMBTS) so it can consistently provide a safe and adequate supply of blood and blood products to health facilities across the country, serving both public and private healthcare sectors. The work sits under the broader Global AIDS program area (CFDA 93.067) and aligns with PEPFAR priorities, where safe transfusion systems are a key part of preventing HIV transmission and improving overall patient safety.
This announcement (Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS10-1058) was posted on January 6, 2010, with an application closing date of March 8, 2010, and an archive date of April 7, 2010. The CDC anticipated making one award, indicating the funding was designed to support a single implementer for nationwide activities rather than multiple competing projects. The estimated total funding listed is $5,000,000, with an award ceiling of $1,000,000 and an award floor of $100,000, which suggests a multi-year program with annual or incremental funding actions typical of cooperative agreements. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would not be required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is effectively restricted to NAMBTS because it is, by Namibian law and by authorization from the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MOHSS), the only organization allowed to collect, screen, store, and distribute blood and blood products nationwide. The announcement emphasizes that NAMBTS is also the only entity authorized to conduct national blood safety activities on behalf of the government and the public, making it the sole logical recipient for a national blood safety cooperative agreement. While the general eligibility category is listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the clarifying language makes clear that the program is intended for the legally mandated national blood service.
As a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, the CDC would typically expect substantial involvement in the planning, oversight, and technical direction of the work, such as collaboration on program design, monitoring and evaluation, and quality improvement. The practical focus of the award is to strengthen the end-to-end blood safety system, which commonly includes improving donor recruitment and retention (especially low-risk voluntary donors), enhancing screening and testing capacity for transfusion-transmissible infections, reinforcing quality management systems across collection and processing sites, improving storage and cold-chain reliability, strengthening distribution logistics to ensure timely availability of blood products, and supporting data systems that help track supply, demand, safety indicators, and adverse events. Even though the short description in the source text is brief, the stated purpose clearly targets both safety and adequacy of supply, meaning the program is meant to address not only laboratory safety but also operational capacity so hospitals and clinics can access blood products when they are needed.
For applicants or stakeholders needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the contact provided is PGO TIMS Grants at 770-488-2700, with a general email listed in the notice. Overall, this opportunity represents a targeted, national-level investment by the CDC under PEPFAR to sustain and expand Namibia's blood safety infrastructure through direct support to the country’s authorized blood transfusion service.
