Quality Assurance of HIV and HIV/

AIDS-Related Testing; Notice of

Availability of Funds

A. Purpose

The Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC) announces the

availability of fiscal year (FY) 2001

funds for a cooperative agreement

program to improve the quality of HIV

testing services in Zimbabwe. This

program addresses the ‘‘Healthy People

2010’’ focus area of HIV and Public

Health Infrastructure.

The purpose of this cooperative

agreement is to support activities to

strengthen the capability of laboratories

performing HIV and HIV/AIDS-related

testing in support of HIV prevention and

care programs.

B. Eligible Applicant

Assistance will be provided only to

the Zimbabwe National Quality

Assurance Program (ZINQAP). No other

applications are solicited. ZINQAP is a

non-profit organization supported solely

by the government of Zimbabwe. No

fees are provided ZINQAP for their

quality assurance activities. ZINQAP is

uniquely qualified to be the recipient

organization for the following reasons:

1. ZINQAP has recently been granted

the sole governmental authority by

Zimbabwe’s Health Professions

Authority to certify laboratories. As

such, laboratories certified by ZINQAP

will be required to implement and

maintain quality assurance activities

that will enable them to adhere to

Zimbabwe’s national standards.

2. ZINQAP is the only laboratory

quality assurance body in Zimbabwe

and has been in existence since 1995

with the mission of assisting

laboratories to attain and maintain a

high standard of performance.

3. ZINQAP currently provides a

limited proficiency testing program for

approximately 90 laboratories within

the country, and as such, has

established relationships with district

provincial, and regional laboratories

within the country. Having a program

already in place will require minimal

time to expand their capabilities. In

contrast, another entity will require

additional time to setup operations and

must build rapport amongst the

country’s laboratories as the leader in

providing quality assurance programs.

ZINQAP has established relationships

with U.S. based scientists, with

international quality assurance experts,

and with local governmental public

health officials.

4. ZINQAP routinely interfaces with

appropriate officials on issues affecting

the quality of Zimbabwe’s laboratory

test results.

Note: Title 2 of the United States Code,

chapter 26, section 1611 states that an

organization described in section 501(c)(4) of

the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that

engages in lobbying activities is not eligible

to receive Federal funds constituting an

award, grant, cooperative agreement,

contract, loan or any other form.

C. Availability of Funds

Approximately $200,000 in U.S.

dollars is available for FY 2001 to fund

this award. It is expected that the award

will begin on or about September 30,

2001, and will be made for a 12-month

budget period within a project period of

up to three years.

Continuation awards within an

approved project period will be made

on the basis of satisfactory progress as

evidenced by required reports and the

availability of funds.

All requests for funds, including the

budget contained in the application,

shall be stated in U.S. dollars. Once an

award is made, the Department of

Health and Human Services (DHHS)

will not compensate foreign grantees for

currency exchange fluctuations through

the issuance of supplemental awards.
