Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, Funding Opportunity Number CDC RFA PS09-98403CONT12, is a continuation cooperative agreement issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to support Kenya's National Blood Transfusion Services (NBTS) in implementing and expanding blood safety activities under the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). It sits within the health funding category and is tied to CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS), which is the federal assistance listing commonly used for HIV/AIDS-related public health work supported by CDC and PEPFAR.
The main purpose of the opportunity is to strengthen the systems that ensure blood and blood products in Kenya are collected, tested, processed, stored, and distributed safely, with a focus that aligns with PEPFAR priorities around preventing HIV transmission and improving the overall quality of health services. In practice, "blood safety activities" in a PEPFAR context generally refer to the technical and operational steps that reduce transfusion-transmitted infections (especially HIV, but also hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and syphilis), promote appropriate clinical use of blood, improve donor selection and retention practices, ensure robust testing and quality assurance, and build the institutional capacity needed for a reliable national blood supply. Because the announcement is framed as supporting the implementation and expansion of existing activities, it signals a scale-up and strengthening approach rather than launching an entirely new program.
This is a continuation funding opportunity, meaning it is not open competition for new organizations. Eligibility is restricted to entities that were already funded under the earlier related award PS09-984, and the notice explicitly states the funds are intended only for those prior grantees. The listing indicates an expectation of a single award ("ExpectedAwards: 1"), reinforcing that this is essentially a planned continuation to maintain momentum and extend work already underway with an established partner.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which is significant because it typically involves substantial programmatic involvement by CDC compared to a standard grant. Under a cooperative agreement, CDC generally works closely with the awardee on planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. This can include jointly refining workplans, agreeing on performance measures, supporting technical assistance, and ensuring activities align with PEPFAR and national strategies. While the notice does not provide a detailed scope of work in the excerpt, cooperative agreements in this area commonly emphasize measurable improvements in national systems, such as stronger quality management, better coverage and reliability of testing, improved data and hemovigilance (monitoring donor and recipient outcomes), and the capacity of NBTS to meet national demand with safe blood.
The posting and application timeline shows the opportunity was posted and created on February 12, 2012, with an original and current closing date of April 2, 2012, and an archive date of May 2, 2012. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means the awardee was not required to contribute a specified portion of project costs from non-federal sources as a condition of the award.
For administrative questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the contact point listed is CDC PGOTIMS, with a phone number (770-488-2700) and email (pgotim@cdc.gov). Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted continuation investment by CDC, using PEPFAR resources, to help Kenya's NBTS expand and institutionalize national blood safety systems that reduce transfusion-related risks and support broader public health outcomes.
