Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity (CDC RFA PS10-1080) is a PEPFAR-supported cooperative agreement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention focused on strengthening blood safety in the Republic of Mozambique. The core aim is twofold: first, to help Mozambique maintain a safe and sufficient national blood supply, and second, to support the development and rollout of a national safe blood system that can show clear, measurable progress within the first year of implementation under the Emergency Plan. In practical terms, the CDC is looking to fund an organization that can provide experienced, hands-on technical assistance to the Ministry of Health (MOH) and to Mozambique's National Blood Service, known locally as Servico Nacional de Sangue (SeNaS).
A key driver behind the announcement is that SeNaS is described as under-staffed for the scale of work required to oversee and implement blood safety activities nationwide. Because of that capacity gap, the grant is designed to support a technical assistance provider that can effectively embed or be "housed" with SeNaS. The expectation is that this embedded technical support will accelerate national-level progress by helping SeNaS strengthen blood safety policy development, translate those policies into workable implementation plans, and ensure that best practices are adopted consistently across participating transfusion facilities. In other words, the award is not just about writing guidelines; it is about helping the national program operationalize standards and improve real-world practices in blood collection, screening, processing, storage, distribution, and clinical transfusion safety where applicable.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals substantial involvement from the federal agency during the project period. Rather than operating in isolation, the recipient would be expected to work closely with CDC, MOH, and SeNaS, aligning technical approaches with national priorities and PEPFAR objectives. The opportunity is categorized under "Health" and tied to CFDA 93.067 (Global AIDS), reflecting the connection between safe blood systems and HIV prevention, as unsafe transfusion is a recognized route of HIV transmission when screening systems, quality management, or supply chain controls are weak.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $2,000,000, with an anticipated single award ("ExpectedAwards: 1"). The award ceiling is $500,000 and the award floor is $300,000, indicating the expected annual or project-period funding range per award under the announcement. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute a set share of non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive.
Eligibility is broad and includes public and private nonprofit organizations, for-profit organizations, small and minority/women-owned businesses, universities and colleges, research institutions, hospitals, community- and faith-based organizations, U.S. governmental entities (state/local and certain territories), and also non-domestic (non-U.S.) entities. The listing also notes eligibility pathways for tribal and urban health organizations and for bona fide agents applying on behalf of state or local governments, where a supporting letter is required as documentation of that status when submitting through Grants.gov.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on February 17, 2010, with an original and final closing date of April 19, 2010, and an archive date of May 19, 2010. The announcement includes a point of contact for access issues related to the full announcement: PGO TIMS grants (phone 770-488-2700) with a general email referenced. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted capacity-building award meant to quickly strengthen national leadership and technical execution for blood safety in Mozambique by embedding expert support within SeNaS and driving early, demonstrable improvements in policy implementation and transfusion facility practices under PEPFAR.
