Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (CDC RFA PS10-1014) is a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cooperative agreement designed to support Haiti's National Blood Safety Program (NBSP) in strengthening and expanding blood safety activities nationwide. The core aim is to help Haiti maintain a safe, sufficient, and reliable supply of blood and blood products, which is a foundational public health need and also closely tied to the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) because safe transfusion services reduce the risk of HIV transmission and other transfusion-transmitted infections. In practical terms, the program is about ensuring that blood is collected from appropriate donors, handled correctly in blood banks, screened properly, and distributed in a way that protects patients and supports the health system.
The award is categorized as discretionary funding and will be issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expects to have substantial involvement in the funded activities compared with a standard grant. The funding activity category is Health, and the program is listed under CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 93.067, Global AIDS. The announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $16,253,482, with an award ceiling of $5,693,482 and an award floor of $0. CDC anticipated making one award, which aligns with the structure of the program and the fact that the intended recipient is a single national authority responsible for blood safety in Haiti.
A key point in the eligibility language is that this notice is not a request for applications and is not being competed through a normal open competition process. Instead, it serves as a public notice of CDC's intent to fund the Haitian National Blood Safety Program directly, without full and open competition. The justification provided is that NBSP holds the only statutory authority in Haiti to develop, implement, and oversee regulations and national systems related to the entire blood safety chain. That includes donor recruitment and retention, blood bank management, blood screening, and quality assurance and quality control. Because these responsibilities are centralized by law and policy within NBSP, CDC indicates that no other entity is positioned to carry out the national regulatory and oversight functions required by the project.
The timeline information shows that the opportunity was posted on January 7, 2010, with an original closing date of March 9, 2010, and a later current closing date of August 2, 2010. The record also notes that suspensions affecting CDC funding opportunity announcements for programs in Haiti were removed effective February 18, 2010, suggesting there had been a temporary pause or administrative restriction that was later lifted for active CDC Haiti-related FOAs. The archive date is August 3, 2010, indicating the opportunity was formally closed and archived shortly after the final closing date. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute a specific portion of funds from non-federal sources as a condition of the award.
While the summary text is brief, the stated scope implies continued and expanded work across the main pillars of national blood safety. That typically includes strengthening donor recruitment strategies to encourage voluntary, non-remunerated donations; improving donor selection and deferral practices; ensuring standardized blood collection procedures; expanding or maintaining laboratory screening capacity; improving inventory and distribution systems so blood is available when and where needed; and implementing quality systems that ensure consistent adherence to standards. The emphasis on quality assurance and quality control points to system-level improvements such as standard operating procedures, staff training, proficiency testing, equipment maintenance, data tracking, and oversight mechanisms that reduce errors and prevent contamination or unsafe transfusion events.
For applicants and the general public, the eligibility section is the most important takeaway: even though the Eligible Applicants field is labeled broadly (with a note to see additional text), the announcement explicitly clarifies that CDC intends to fund NBSP as the sole entity because it is the national body with legal authority over blood safety regulation and implementation in Haiti. In other words, this is effectively a sole-source cooperative agreement notice, published for transparency rather than to solicit competing proposals.
The listed agency contact for technical difficulties accessing the full announcement is the CDC Procurement and Grants Office (PGO), Technical Information Management Section (TIMS), reachable by phone at 770-488-2700. This contact is framed as support for accessing the announcement rather than as a programmatic point of contact for proposing alternative applicants, consistent with the non-competitive intent described in the eligibility information.
