accomplished through collaboration
between the MSPP, CDC Haiti and its
partners including, but not limited to,
the National Association of State and
Territorial AIDS Directors (NASTAD),
American Public Health Laboratories
(APHL), University Technical
Assistance Program (UTAP),
International Training and Education
Center for HIV/AIDS (ITECH) and local
partners. Collaborative activities
between CDC and the MSPP are
intended to produce measurable
improvements in the delivery of publicsector HIV/AIDS services in Haiti.
The Catalog of Federal Domestic
Assistance number for this program is

budget assistance, contact: Vivian

30341, Telephone: 770–488–2724, Email: vew4@cdc.gov.
B. Eligible Applicant
This is a single eligibility request for
application (RFA) from the Haitian
MSPP. No other applicants are solicited.
The national public health system in
Haiti remains the primary source of care
for the majority of the Haitian
Population. This system is directly
managed by the Haitian Ministry of
Health as it is an inherently
governmental role to provide a basic
level of health care to ensure that a
minimum standard of public health is
achieved. The MSPP is responsible for
the National Strategic Plan for HIV/
AIDS in Haiti. This responsibility
includes updating the national protocols
for care and treatment and as well as
national coordination of HIV/AIDS
service delivery and training.
It would be inefficient and
unsustainable to develop a parallel
system outside of the public health
system to provide prevention, treatment,
and other service delivery solely for
HIV/AIDS.

C. Funding
Approximately $11,620,000 is
available over a five year project period.
$2,324,000 will be available in FY 2005

approximate date for the award is
September 15, 2005. Funding estimates
may change.

Notice of Intent To Fund Single
Eligibility Award
A. Purpose
The Centers for Disease Control and

to fund fiscal year (FY) 2005 funds for

The purpose of the announcement is
to support the efforts to increase and
build the capacity of health care
workers in Tanzania and Zanzibar in the
early diagnosis and treatment of TB
and/or HIV in co-infected patients by

Tanzania has mandated the NTLP to
coordinate and implement activities
necessary for the control of TB and
leprosy, including HIV/AIDS among TB
patients. The NTLP also has the
technical ability to oversee the project,
by ensuring the activities implemented
are integrated into the national strategy
for TB and leprosy in Tanzania.
