A. Background
The problem of counterfeit/falsified
medicines was first addressed at the
international level in 1985 at the
Conference of Experts on the Rational
Use of Drugs in Nairobi. The meeting
recommended that the WHO and
relevant stakeholders should study the
feasibility of setting up a clearinghouse
to collect data and to inform
governments about the nature and
extent of counterfeiting. This project
represents a collaborative agreement
between WHO and FDA in building
global rapid alert surveillance/
monitoring system(s) for combating
counterfeit/falsified medicines and risks
in the supply chain security that will
assist in developing the global
landscape and identifying areas of
public health risk, including such
challenges and threats as diversion,
intentional adulteration, and the
increasing complexity and reduced
transparency of the supply chain due to
globalization and limited regulatory
capacity (such as in resourceconstrained countries and/or countries
where regulatory infrastructure lack
robustness).
B. Research Objectives
• Support WHO technical
cooperation with member states to
attain better data and improve data
sharing about the public health risks
surrounding counterfeit/falsified
medicine and supply chain security,
through the development of surveillance
and monitoring system(s) of counterfeit/
falsified medicines and risks in supply
chains and rapid alert system(s).
• This could include a phased-in
approach for implementation, testing
and assessment of a system, as well as
subsequent refinements to the system

based on assessments the WHO may
consider relevant.
• Support WHO’s work internally to
identify and possibly adapt current
global surveillance/monitoring systems
that may exist in other programs (e.g.,
those that the industry uses to collect
information on counterfeit/falsified
medicines), as well as other public
health areas (e.g., infectious diseases),
and may be relevant in applicability to
a surveillance/monitoring system for
counterfeit/falsified medicines and
supply chain integrity.
• Work with member states
strategically over time to establish the
necessary processes, protocols and
commitment to collect and contribute
data, share/exchange data routinely and
consistently, and use the data emanating
from a surveillance and monitoring
system for counterfeit/falsified
medicines and supply chain risks in
support of national, sub-regional and
global strategies and decision-making to
prevent and address the incidence of
counterfeit/falsified medicines and risks
within supply chains in a sustainable
and measurable way.
• Recognizing the importance of
WHO’s Anti-counterfeiting Programme,
support WHO’s contribution to the
design, development and/or
implementation of a global surveillance/
monitoring system to better address the
challenges and risks of counterfeit/
falsified medicines and supply chain
integrity.
• Promote development of consistent
terminology around counterfeit/falsified
medicines to enable comparable data
collection and analyses; standardized
methods for data collection; and a
harmonized approach to data analyses
in support of populating and utilizing a
global surveillance/monitoring system
for counterfeit/falsified medicines and
supply chain security. Work with
Member States for the implementation
of these methods at the country-level to
enable successful and sustainable
implementation of a global surveillance/
monitoring system to better address
counterfeit/falsified medicines and
supply chain integrity.
• Recognizing that active
commitment, participation and
engagement of national medicine
regulatory authorities in any WHO
surveillance/monitoring system for
counterfeit/falsified drugs is essential,
WHO will need to work with Member
States as appropriate, for
implementation, assessment, and
refinement of a surveillance/monitoring
system for counterfeit/falsified drugs
and supply chain integrity that is of
utility to national medicine regulatory

authorities and other relevant national
government stakeholders.
• Promote the development of peerreviewed published articles on the
growing complexities and threats
addressing counterfeit/falsified
medicines and supply chain security
with a goal to initiate dialogue and
expand the thinking among
policymakers and experts on ways to
address this public health threat with a
forward-look toward sustainable
solutions through global collaboration
and evidence-based approaches.
C. Eligibility Information
The following organizations/
institutions are eligible to apply: The
World Health Organization.
II. Award Information/Funds Available
A. Award Amount
FDA anticipates providing one award
of $960,500 (total costs including
indirect costs) in fiscal year (FY) 2010
in support of this project. Subject to the
availability of funds and successful
performance, 3 additional years of
support up to $847,500 per year will be
available.
B. Length of Support
The support will be 1 year with the
possibility of an additional three years
of noncompetitive support.
Continuation beyond the first year will

SUMMARY: The Administration for
Children and Families (ACF), Children’s
Bureau (CB) announces the award of a
single-source program expansion
supplement to the Research Foundation
of CUNY on behalf of Hunter College
School of Social Work, New York, NY,
to provide expanded technical
assistance to address continuing
challenges in the field as child welfare
programs work to implement the
requirements of new legislation. The
Research Foundation of CUNY on behalf
of Hunter College is the recipient of a
cooperative agreement to act as the
administrator for National Resource
Center for Permanency and Family
Connections (NRCPFC), which provides
technical assistance services pursuant to
the legislative authority of the
Promoting Safe and Stable Families
Amendments of the Social Security Act
(42 U.S.C. 629e).
The Fostering Connections to Success
and Increasing Adoptions Act of 2008
(Pub. L. 110–351) provides for a
discretionary matching grant program to
implement projects in the areas of
Kinship Navigator, Family Finding,
Family Group Decision Making, and
Residential Family Treatment. The law
also added a new plan requirement at
§ 471(a)(29) that directs State foster care
and adoption agencies (title IV–E
agencies) to exercise due diligence to
identify and notify all adult relatives of
a child, within 30 days of the child’s
removal, of the relative’s options to
become a placement resource for the
child. The supplemental funding will
allow the NRCPFC to do the following:
1. Provide focused technical
assistance to Family Connections
grantees.
2. Engage States that did not receive
discretionary grants in on-site
consultation regarding effectively
involving relatives in child welfare
practice.
3. Proactively transfer the knowledge
developed under the discretionary grant
program to States to assist in meeting
new plan requirements.
Under the proposed supplemental
funding, the NRCPFC will increase
technical assistance efforts to enhance
the achievement of permanency by
assisting agencies to better locate, notify
and involve families and relatives in the
engagement and planning process while
maintaining awareness of
confidentiality issues.

child welfare systems, identifies and
effectively implements community and
culturally based strategies and resources
that strengthen Tribal child and family
services.
The Fostering Connections to Success
and Increasing Adoptions Act of 2008
(the Act) was amended in 2008 by the
addition of § 479B, which allows Indian
Tribes the option to apply for Federal
funding to support the administration of
their own foster care, adoption
assistance, and guardianship assistance
programs under title IV–E of the Social
Security Act (SSA). The Act was also
amended at § 476(c)(2)(iii) to allow
Indian Tribes to receive one-time
development grants to be used to offset
the cost of developing a title IV–E plan
to carry out the requirements of § 479B.
