Partnering With the National Institute
of Hygiene and Epidemiology To
Enhance Public Health Capacity for
HIV Prevention and Care Activities in
the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam, as
Part of the President’s Emergency Plan
for AIDS Relief; Notice of Intent To
Fund Single Eligibility Award
A. Purpose
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) announces the intent
to fund fiscal year (FY) 2005 funds for
a cooperative agreement program to
provide improved HIV prevention, care,
and treatment in Vietnam through
support and development of national
laboratory systems, and implementation
of surveillance and monitoring and
evaluation (M&E) activities. The Catalog
of Federal Domestic Assistance number
for this program is 93.067.
B. Eligible Applicant
Assistance will be provided only to
the Vietnamese National Institute of
Hygiene and Epidemiology (NIHE). No
other applications are solicited.
The award specifically aims to use
existing capacity through NIHE to aid in
providing Viet Nam with increased
laboratory capability, including
developing a national reference
laboratory and quality-assurance and
quality-control systems (QA/QC);
improving national surveillance and
M&E through routine and special
projects; and developing a national
action plan, and other surveillance
activities, as necessity dictates.
Currently, the NIHE is the single
institute in Viet Nam sanctioned by the
Vietnamese Government to conduct
laboratory activities, and, thus, the only
appropriate and qualified organization
to conduct this specific set of activities
supportive of the President’s Emergency
Plan for AIDS Relief.
In addition, NIHE is uniquely
positioned in terms of legal authority
and credibility among Vietnamese
health institutions to provide national
surveillance and laboratory leadership
in the area of HIV/AIDS prevention and
control. NIHE has already established
mechanisms to provide national
laboratory leadership, and national
surveillance and M&E activities, which
enables it to immediately become
engaged in the activities listed in this
announcement.

NIHE is organizationally within the
Vietnamese MOH, and can effectively
coordinate and implement HIV
prevention and care activities supported
by the MOH and its other agencies.
Although other Vietnamese Government
Ministries are involved in HIV
prevention and care, currently most
activities occur through the MOH.
C. Funding
Approximately $500,000 is available
in FY 2005 to fund this award
September 15, 2005, and will be made
for a 12-month budget period within a
project period of up to five years.
Funding estimates may change.
