Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, CDC RFA GH12-1255, supports technical assistance to strengthen national blood transfusion services in selected countries under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). Led by the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator and implemented through the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (HHS/CDC), the program is designed to help partner countries improve the safety, availability, and overall quality of blood and blood products in ways that align with each host country's own strategic plans and partnership framework. The core idea is not a one-size-fits-all model; CDC and partners assess country-specific needs and then tailor assistance so it fits local policies, systems, and priorities, with a strong public health focus tied to HIV prevention and broader health system strengthening.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means CDC expects substantial involvement during implementation, such as collaboration on technical direction, performance monitoring, and coordination with in-country stakeholders and other PEPFAR-supported activities. The funding activity category is health, and the CFDA listing is 93.067 (Global AIDS). The opportunity anticipated up to five awards, with an estimated total funding level of $84,615,000 and an award ceiling of $15,000,000 per award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated, which can lower barriers for organizations that do not have significant non-federal resources available to contribute.
The eligible applicant pool is broad and intentionally inclusive, spanning nonprofit organizations (both with and without 501(c)(3) status), for-profit organizations (including small businesses and small/minority/women-owned businesses), institutions of higher education (universities and colleges), research institutions, hospitals, community-based and faith-based organizations, and a wide range of governmental and quasi-governmental entities. Eligibility also extends to tribal governments and tribal health organizations, urban Indian health organizations, tribal epidemiology centers, and state and local governments (including U.S. territories and freely associated states listed in the notice). Non-U.S. (non-domestic) entities are also eligible, signaling that the program can be implemented by organizations based outside the United States when that makes operational sense for the target countries and objectives.
A specific administrative point is included for applicants applying as a Bona Fide Agent of a state or local government. In those cases, the applicant must provide documentation from the relevant state or local government confirming that status, and that letter must be attached in the application package (submitted through Grants.gov). This requirement is meant to ensure clear authorization when a non-governmental entity is applying on behalf of a governmental unit.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on March 26, 2012, created on May 23, 2012, and originally closed on May 3, 2012, with a revised closing date of May 24, 2012. The archive date is June 23, 2012, indicating it is no longer open, but the details remain useful as a reference for understanding CDC/PEPFAR priorities and the scale and structure of support historically provided for blood safety and transfusion systems strengthening.
