the Brazilian National AIDS Program;
and (2) to coordinate and implement
new and ongoing laboratory activities
initiated through the South-to-South
Regional Collaboration, through which
Brazil provides HIV technical assistance
to Lusophone-speaking African
countries. The purpose of the program
is to build the capacity of the Ministry
of Health (MOH) of Brazil in HIV
laboratory technology for improved
diagnosis and treatment of HIV/AIDS,
and to provide technical expertise from
Brazil to other Lusophone-speaking
countries. The Catalog of Federal
Domestic Assistance number for this
program is 93.067.
B. Eligible Applicant
Applications will only be solicited
from the Fundacao Universataria Jose
¸˜
Bonifacio (FUJB) [The Jose Bonifacio
University Foundation of the Federal
University of Rio de Janeiro], a private,
non-profit foundation, dedicated to
serving the interests of society in the
areas of education, research, and
extension, insofar as the Federal
University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ)
performs these activities. The FUJB is
empowered to manage contracts and
agreements drawn up for the support of
research projects and services executed
by the University, and to assist in the
maintenance of University activities in
the National and international arenas.
UFRJ has state of the art research/
clinical laboratory facilities and has the
only laboratory in Brazil with laboratory
staff highly-specialized in advanced
molecular biology and HIV serology
techniques for HIV/AIDS diagnostics.
UFRJ has longstanding experience and a
tradition of training technicians in these
technologies, domestically, regionally
(Latin America and the Caribbean), and
internationally. UFRJ personnel have
been subcontracted for the past year to
serve as laboratory consultants in both
Mozambique and Angola through the
CDC Global AIDS Program (GAP)
Brazil’s cooperative agreement with
Fundacao Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ), as
¸˜
part of the USG South-to-South
Collaboration. Increased demand for
trainings in these specialized areas has
prompted CDC GAP Brazil to develop
an agreement with the UFRJ’s
Foundation to formalize these trainings
as USG South-to-South Collaboration
activities. As the management body for
UFRJ, the Fundacao Universataria Jose
¸˜
Bonifacio is the only organization with
the capability to administer and manage
UFRJ laboratory research and training
activities.
