Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity (CDC RFA PS10-1007) is a PEPFAR-funded cooperative agreement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention focused on strengthening and sustaining a centrally coordinated National Blood Transfusion Service (NBTS) in the United Republic of Tanzania, covering both mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar. At its core, the program is designed to deliver expert guidance and hands-on technical assistance to the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (MOHSW) and the national blood program so the country can reliably provide hospitals and other health facilities with a safe, sufficient, and consistently available supply of blood and blood products. The larger aim is not only immediate improvement in service delivery, but long-term sustainability built on high-quality, evidence-based practices led increasingly by local and indigenous organizations working in close coordination with the government.
The work emphasized by the announcement centers on technical assistance coordination rather than simply purchasing commodities or running a stand-alone service. In practical terms, that means helping the NBTS strengthen national systems that make a blood program dependable and safe at scale. This typically includes improving central coordination and governance, standardizing policies and operating procedures across regions, reinforcing quality management systems, and ensuring that each step of the transfusion chain (donor recruitment, collection, testing, processing, storage, distribution, and hospital use) is aligned with recognized safety and quality standards. The focus on both mainland and Zanzibar signals an expectation that the support will be nationally coherent while still responsive to the different administrative and health system realities in each setting.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding in the health area and uses a cooperative agreement mechanism, which usually indicates that CDC expects substantial involvement during implementation through collaboration, technical direction, and joint planning rather than a more hands-off grant model. The funding profile shows an estimated total of $5,000,000, with an award ceiling of $1,000,000 and a floor of $500,000, and CDC anticipated making one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier to entry for applicants that may not have large unrestricted funds but do have strong technical capacity and relevant implementation experience.
Eligibility is broad and includes public and private nonprofit organizations, for-profit organizations, small and minority or women-owned businesses, universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, tribal entities, and U.S. state and local governments and their bona fide agents. Non-U.S. (non-domestic) entities are also eligible, which is important for a Tanzania-centered program that may benefit from applications led by organizations based in the region. For applicants applying as a bona fide agent of a state or local government, the announcement specifies that documentation (a letter confirming status) must be included with the application submission through Grants.gov.
Key dates in the record show the announcement was posted and created on February 11, 2010, with an original and current closing date of April 8, 2010, and an archive date of May 8, 2010. The CFDA number listed is 93.067, associated with Global AIDS programming, reinforcing that this blood safety and availability work is part of the broader HIV/AIDS response supported by PEPFAR, where safe transfusion practices are a critical component of preventing HIV transmission and improving clinical outcomes.
For support accessing the full announcement, the contact listed is PGO TIMS Grants, with a phone number (770-488-2700) and a general email channel. Overall, the opportunity is aimed at selecting a single implementing partner that can coordinate high-level, sustained technical assistance to help Tanzania institutionalize a strong, centrally managed blood transfusion service that can maintain quality and coverage over time, increasingly driven by local capacity in partnership with MOHSW.
