Funding
The federal government, through contributions from within HHS and CDC, has contributed more than $1 million to develop the recipient and donor systems within the Network. The Task Force is working to secure additional start-up funding from the private sector — blood centers, hospitals, industry vendors/supporters, nonprofit organizations, trade associations, foundations and corporations both within and outside of the transfusion and transplantation medicine communities.
An additional $2 million is needed from the private sector to complete Phase I development of the Network, including recruiting and training participants, educating the community at large, and developing staff and volunteer expertise to perform necessary data validation and analyses. As of September 4 2008, commitments for $1,315,075 have been received. Private sector fundraising to cover these initial development costs is on-going. For information on how you can help, contact biovigilance@aabb.org.
Additional government funding is being sought to cover ongoing operations for 2009 following completion of the development efforts and beyond.
